ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
• This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.70 (latest edition) and
local electrical code requirements. IN CANADA: Electrical installation must be in
accordance with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Codes Part1 and/or local
codes.
• This appliance may be connected by means of permanent “Hard Wiring” or “Power
Supply Cord Kit”. Power supply cord is not supplied, but it is available through your
local electric supply house.
• Use only 3-conductor or 4-conductor CSA/UL listed range cord rated at 25 amps
with 250 V minimum and provided with ring terminals. These cords should be pro-
vided with strain relief or conduit connector.
Warning: Frame grounded through neutral lead. If used in,
- New branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC),
- Mobile homes,
- Recreational vehicles, or
- In an area where local codes prohibit grounding through neutral, use a 4 conductor
cord or conduit.
• The range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as spec-
ified on the rating plate.
• The range can be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker box)
through flexible, armoured or non-metallic sheathed, copper cable (with grounding
wire). Allow two to three feet of slack in the line so that it can be moved if servicing
is ever necessary.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WITH POWER CORD
Use a 3-wire power supply cord kit rated for 25 amps - 125/250 volts with closed loop
terminals and marked for use with ranges. Where local codes do not permit grounding
through neutral, use a 4-wire power supply cord kit.
The cord must be secured to the range with the strain relief supplied or with a suitable
strain relief. The electrical connection is made at the terminal block, which is located
behind the terminal block access plate on the back of the range.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WITH CONDUIT
Use 1/2” (1.3 cm) trade size CSA/UL-listed conduit with a conduit clamp, 16 AWG/600
volt copper conductor colored red for line 1 and black for line 2 and 16 AWG/600 volt
copper conductor (or 12 AWG/600 Volt copper conductor if grounding through neutral)
colored white for neutral with closed loop terminals marked for use with ranges.
Where local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, use a green 12 AWG cop-
per conductor as directed in the 4-wire connector directions. The conduit must be
secured to the range with the strain relief bracket. The electrical connection is made at
the terminal block which is located behind the terminal block access plate on the back
of the range.
