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.
Once the connections are made, secure wires
together using wire nuts. Red
