Installation Instructions ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 17 BEFORE MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Note to Electrician: The power leads supplied with this appliance are UL-recognized for connection to large gauge household wiring. The insulation of these leads is rated at temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of household wiring. The current carrying capacity of a conductor is governed by the wire gauge and also the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire. Aluminum Wiring - WARNING: IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM HOUSE WIRING TO THE COPPER LEADS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PROBLEMS. Attach copper wires to aluminum wiring using special connectors designed and UL-listed for joining copper to aluminum. Follow the connector manufacturer's recommended procedure closely. Service Loop - Leave a loop in the wires to the cooktop so that the cooktop can be lifted 12 inches without having to disconnect the wiring.
