Disconnect Old Cooktop Wiring and Conduit
At 1:50 in
INSTALLING ELECTRIC COOKTOP. DIY Range or Stove Top Installation Instructions.
What happens here
Open the cabinet doors underneath the cooktop to access the electrical connections. Locate the flexible metal conduit leading from the cooktop to a junction box attached to the wall. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the two screws securing the conduit's faceplate to the electrical box. Pull the conduit out to expose the wire connections inside the box. Carefully unwrap any electrical tape around the wire nuts, then twist off the three wire nuts (red, black, and ground) connecting the cooktop's wires to the house's electrical wires. The old cooktop's flexible conduit should also have a metal elbow and plate securing it; note how these are attached as you will reuse them.
Goal: Detach the old cooktop's electrical wiring from the house supply
