KENMORE ELECTRIC WALL OVEN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(and Optional Electric or Gas Cooktop Combination)
In cold weather shipping and storage
conditions, make sure that oven is in final location at
least three (3) hours before switching on power.
Switching on power while oven is still cold may damage
the oven controls.
These appliances are equipped with a copper conductor
flexible cable. If connection is made to aluminum house
wiring, use only special connectors which are approved
for joining copper and aluminum wires in accordance
with National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances.
These appliances are manufactured with a white neutral
power supply wire and a frame connected green or bare
copper grounding wire.
Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire
(see figure 3):
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown in Figure 3.
Improper connection of aluminum
house wiring to copper leads can result in a short
circuit or fire. Use only connectors designed for
joining copper to aluminum, and follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.
You may not ground the oven
through the neutral (white) wire if oven is used in
a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile
home, recreational vehicle, or where local codes do
not permit grounding through the neutral (white)
wire. When grounding through the neutral (white)
wire is prohibited, you must use a 4-wire power
supply cable. See Figure 4. Failure to heed this
warning may result in electrocution or other
serious personal injury.
