CODES DO NOT ALLOW
GROUNDING THROUGH
NEUTRAL
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed
range cord. These cords may be provided with ring
terminals on wire and a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250
minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range
cord is not recommended but if used, it should
be marked for use with nominal 1
3
⁄8″ diameter
connection openings. Care should be taken to
center the cable and strain relief within the
knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging
the cable.
• Because range terminals are not accessible after
range is in position, flexible service conduit or
cord must be used.
NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step 3D and
then to Step 6 or 7.
• On some models, a filter capacitor may be
connected between the black and white leads on
the junction block.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION: For personal safety, do
not use an extension cord with this appliance.
Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before
beginning installation.
This appliance must be supplied with the proper
voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having
amperage as specified on the rating plate. The
rating plate is located behind the storage drawer
or warming drawer on the oven frame.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and
hookup of your range connected by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician
show you where your main range disconnect is
located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes
which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven
according to governing codes could result in a
hazardous condition. If there are no local codes,
your range must be wired and fused to meet the
requirements of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70— Latest Edition. You can get
a copy by writing:
National Fire Protection Association
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical
Code requires that new construction (not existing)
utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric
range.
When installing an electric range in new
construction, follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wire
connection.
You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120
Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If
you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed
connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring
must be used.
If the electrical service provided does not meet the
above specifications, have a licensed electrician
install an approved outlet.
