IMPORTANT: Remove all packing
material and literature from
the oven before connecting any
electrical supplies.
STOP! STOP!
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
1. De-energize oven branch circuit.
2. With oven in front of cabinet opening, connect
flexible power cable to the junction box in such
a manner that it will hang down in a natural loop
against the left side of the back wall when the
oven is installed. Do not shorten this flexible
power cable. The flexible conduit connector
must be securely attached to the junction box
and the flexible conduit must be securely
attached to the connector. If the flexible conduit
will not fit within the connector, do not install
the oven until a connector of the proper size is
obtained.
All new construction, mobile homes, recreational
vehicles and installations where local codes do
not allow grounding through neutral require a four-
conductor branch circuit. For existing construction,
a three-conductor branch circuit connection may
be used.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The three power
leads supplied with this appliance are U.L.
recognized for connection to larger gauge
household wiring. The insulation of these three
leads is rated at temperatures much higher than
the temperature rating of household wiring. The
current carrying capacity of a conductor is
governed by the temperature rating of the insulation
around the wire rather than the wire gauge alone.
NEW CONSTRUCTION AND
FOUR CONDUCTOR
BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION
• When installing in a new construction, or
• When installing oven in a mobile home or recreational
vehicle, or
• When local codes do not permit grounding through
neutral:
1. Cut the neutral (white) lead from the crimp. Restrip
the neutral (white) lead to expose the proper length
of conductor.
2. Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or
bare copper) to the residence grounding conductor
(green or bare) in accordance with local codes. If
the residence grounding conductor is aluminum,
see WARNING note.
3. Connect the oven neutral (white) lead to the branch
circuit neutral (white or gray) in accordance with
local codes.
4. Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red
lead and the oven black lead to the branch circuit
black lead in accordance with local codes. If the
residence red and black or white leads are
aluminum conductors, see WARNING note.
THREE CONDUCTOR
BRANCH CIRCUIT
CONNECTION
• When connecting to a 3-conductor branch
circuit, if local codes permit, connect the oven
bare conductor with the crimped neutral (white)
lead to the branch circuit neutral (white or gray
in color), the oven red lead to the branch circuit
red lead and the oven black lead to the branch
circuit black lead in accordance with local
codes.
WARNING:
Improper connection of aluminum
house wiring to these copper leads
can result in an electrical hazard or
fire. Use only connectors designed
for joining copper to aluminum
and follow the manufacturer’s
recommended procedure closely.
STOP! STOP!
