Wire Connections

Cooktop has approximately 36 inches of flexible wire conduit attached to bottom of cooktop. Approximately 6 inches of green or bare ground wire and 3 insulated wires: black, red and white, extend beyond end of conduit. Conduit lies directly below controls. If the cooktop is installed with the controls on the left side, the conduit will be on the bottom left. If the cooktop is installed with the controls on the right, the conduit will be on the bottom right. Connect wire leads extending from conduit to house wires inside junction box. Refer to local codes and attach according to options. AKT models do not have a white (neutral) wire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface elements, cabinet storage space located above the surface elements should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

CAUTION

Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the cooktop or behind the cooktop. Children climbing on cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death:

• disconnect cooktop from main power supply before servicing.

• make sure cooktop has been properly grounded.

• if connecting copper leads to aluminum house wiring, use only connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum. Follow connector manufacturer’s recommendations closely.

• do not ground through neutral wire if installed in mobile home or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral wire.
