How do you wire a cooktop?

Answer 1

A cooktop is wired in accordance with standard electrical practices - by a qualified electrician. Attempting to do this on your own can result is the unit not working, the unit being damaged, an electrical fire in the location, or injury or death to the "would-be" electrician. These hazards cannot be stated strongly enough. The basic philosophy of the technical minds here and of WikiAnswers in general is that if you have to have something like this explained to you, it is not something you should be attempting. Wiring a cooktop isn't as challenging as something like neurosurgery, but people have died during both procedures. Please contact a qualified electrician for assistance. At least get an estimate, and ask for some detail of the costs to get a better idea of what is involved. Let's be clear: you are not being called stupid or anything else. You do have knowledge and skills, but not the knowledge and skill set (nor the experience) needed for this job. Instead, you are being asked to get professional assistance for a project that can have lethal consequences for the shortcomings of the individual undertaking it if that person is not "qualified" to do it.

Answer 2

Before starting, ensure the electricity is turned off. Strip the wires and connect them according to the manufacturer's instructions. Typically, the black wire is connected to the hot terminal, the white wire to the neutral terminal, and the green or bare wire to the ground terminal. Use wire nuts to secure the connections, then carefully install the cooktop according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
