ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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 noted on rating plate.
(Rating Plate is located on oven frame.)
We recommend you have the electrical wiring
and hookup of your oven connected by a
qualified electrician. After installation, have
the electrician show you where your main
oven 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 oven must be wired
and fused to meet the requirements of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.

Effective January 1, 1996, the National
Electrical Code requires that new, but not
existing, construction utilize a four-conductor
connection to an electric oven. When
installing an electric oven in new
construction, a mobile home, recreational
vehicle or an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor,
follow the instructions in the section on NEW
CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-CONDUCTOR
BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION.
You must use a three-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.
ATTENTION INSTALLER
All electric wall ovens must be hard wired
(direct wired) into an approved junction box.
A plug and receptacle is NOT permitted on
these products.
DO NOT shorten the flexible conduit. The
conduit strain relief clamp must be securely
attached to the junction box and the flexible
conduit must be 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.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The 3 power
leads supplied with this appliance are UL
recognized for connection to heavier gauge
household wiring. The insulation of these 3
leads is rated at temperatures much higher
than the temperature rating of household
wiring. The current carrying capacity of the
conductor is governed by the wire gauge and
the temperature rating of the insulation
around the wire.
WARNING:
Improper connection
of aluminum house wiring to 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.
