== == For the safety and protection of any user of the cook top it is essential that it is correctly wired to a green or bare ground wire that is separate to the white neutral wire.
For more information see the answer to the Related Question shown below: "How does the ground or earth wire of an appliance protect a user if there is a fault with that particular appliance?
A Green wire (or bare wire with no insulation) is normally the local "Ground"wire.
A White wire is normally the "Neutral" wire. It is common to both hot legs on a standard 240 Volt supply.
A Black wire can be one of the two "Hot" legs of a standard 240 Volt supply or it can be the single "Hot" wire of a standard 120 Volt supply.
A Red wire can be the other of the two "Hot" legs of a standard 240 Volt supply. === === === === For the safety and protection of any user of the cook top it is essential that it is correctly wired to a green/yellow ground wire that is separate to the blue neutral wire.
For more information see the answer to the Related Question shown below: "How does the ground or earth wire of an appliance protect a user if there is a fault with that particular appliance?
A Green/Yellow wire is normally the local "Earth"wire.
A Blue wire is normally the "Neutral" wire on a standard 230 Volt supply. (In the UK this may be a Black wire if the circuit was installed before 2006.)
A Brown wire is normally the "Live" wire on a standard 230 Volt supply. (In the UK this may be a Red wire if the circuit was installed before 2006.) <><><>
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
