Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
cooktop is properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are
adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest
edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

Before You Make the Electrical Connection:
To properly install your cooktop, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
A 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only
electrical supply is required on a separate, 40-amp circuit,
fused on both sides of the line.
NOTE: The 15" (38.1 cm) model series requires a 20-amp
circuit.
The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box
through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper
cable. The flexible, armored cable extending from the fuse box
or circuit breaker box should be connected directly to the
junction box.
Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible
between the junction box and the cooktop so that the cooktop
can be moved if servicing becomes necessary in the future.
Do not cut the conduit. Use the length of conduit provided.
A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the
cooktop and at the junction box). A listed conduit connector is
already provided at the cooktop.
If the house has aluminum wiring, connect the aluminum
wiring to the copper wire by using special connectors
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum. Follow
the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.

Prepare Cooktop for Installation
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install cooktop.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Locate existing
wiring to prevent drilling into or severing wiring during
installation.
2. Place the cooktop upside down on a protective surface.
3. Remove foam strip from literature packing. Remove backing
from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-side down around
bottom of cooktop, flush with edge.
NOTE: The foam strip protects the underside of the cooktop
glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven
counters.
