E Once the connections are made, secure wires

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
The bare ground wire in the conduit is connected
to the cooktop frame. Effective January 1, 1996,
the National Electrical Code will not permit
grounding through neutral.
If used in new construction after January 1, 1996 or
in a mobile home, recreational vehicle or
if local codes do not permit grounding through
the neutral white lead, attach the appliance
grounding lead (green or copper) to the residence
grounding conductor (green or bare copper) in
accordance with local codes. When connecting
to a 3 conductor branch circuit, if local codes
permit, connect the bare ground connector lead
of the cooktop to the branch circuit neutral (gray
or white in color).
IMPORTANT:
If the cooktop is being
installed into a blind counter (one with no cabinet
opening below), wire connections must be made
before putting the cooktop into the cutout
opening.
