INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation Instructions ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 18 MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new, but not existing, construction utilize a four-conductor connection to an electric range. When installing an electric range in new construction, follow the instructions in NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOURCONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION. You must use a three-wire, single-phase AC 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system with separate ground. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used. New construction and four-conductor branch circuit connection • When installing in new construction, or • When installing in a mobile home, or • When local codes do not permit grounding through neutral: 4-Conductor Branch Circuit When connecting the cooktop to a 4-conductor circuit, connect the red leads of the cooktop and the power supply to the branch circuit red lead; connect the black leads to each other. Connect the cooktop white lead to the power supply and branch circuit neutral leads, which are white or gray. Ground the unit by connecting the green conductor of the cooktop to the bare or green leads of the power supply and branch circuit (ground leads). Three-conductor branch circuit connection • When installing in existing construction built prior to January 1, 1996, and if permitted by local codes: 3-Conductor Branch Circuit When connecting cooktop to a 3-conductor circuit, connect the red leads of the cooktop and the power supply to the branch circuit red lead; connect the black leads to each other. Connect the green and white leads of the cooktop to the power supply and branch circuit neutral leads, which are white or gray. 24 49-80635-1
