Installation Instructions
5^ ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
• This appliance must be properly grounded.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Before installing range, switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means
to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the disconnection means cannot be locked,
securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
A WARNING
Fire Hazard
Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to copper leads can result in an electrical or fire hazard. If
residence leads are aluminum, use only connectors designed forjoining copper to aluminum and follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedure closely. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of the appliance connected by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the appliance.
You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 50 Hertz electrical system.
Effective January 1,1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a
four-conductor connection to an electric oven. When installing an electric oven in new construction, a mobile
home, recreational vehicle or area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor, refer
to the section on four-conductor branch circuit connections.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according
to governing code could result in a hazardous condition. Ifthere are no local codes, your oven must be wired
and fused to meetthe National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70-latestedition, available from the National Fire
Protection Association.
Rating plate is located on oven frontframe and is visible when oven door is open.
This appliance mustsupplied be with the propervoltage and frequency, and connected to an individual,
properly grounded, 40 amp (minimum) branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
DO NOT shorten the flexible conduit. The conduit strain relief clamp must be securely attached to thejunction
box and the flexible conduit must securely attached to the clamp. If the flexible conduit will not fit within the
clamp, do not install the oven until a clamp of the proper size is obtained.
The 3 power leads supplied with this appliance are suitable for connection to heavier gouge household
wiring. The insulation ofthese 3 leads is rated fortemperatures much higherthan the temperature rating of
the household wiring. The current-carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by the wire gouge and the
temperature rating ofthe insulation around the wire.
