If the cable from appliance is equipped with 3 wires:
Where local codes permit connecting the
appliance-grounding conductor to the neutral
(white) wire (see figure 3):
1.
Disconnect the power supply.
2.
In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction
box, connect appliance and power supply
cable wires as shown in figure 3.
WARNING!
You may not ground the cooktop through
the neutral (white) wire if cooktop is used
in a new branch circuit installation (1996
NEC), mobile home, recreational vehicle, or
where local codes do not permit grounding
to the neutral (white) wire.

WARNING!
If connecting to a 4-wire power supply
cable electrical system, the appliance
frame connected ground wire MUST NOT be
connected to the neutral wire of the 4-wire
electrical system.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable
leads supplied with the appliance are UL-listed for
connection to larger gauge household wiring. The
insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures
much higher than temperature rating of household
wiring. The current carrying capacity of the
conductor wire is governed by the temperature
rating of the insulation around the wire, rather than
the wire gauge alone.
