ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Unit to be properly circuit protected and wired according to
local electrical code and National Electrical Code.
It is advisable that the electrical wiring and hookup be
accomplished by a competent electrician.
120/240 VAC or 120/208 VAC 60 Hz. See serial plate on
each unit for power requirements.
The neutral of the lower unit is grounded to the frame
through the green or solid grounding wire. (The green
and the white wires are twisted together at the
termination of the conduit.) If used on new branch--circuit
installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, recreational
vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor , untwist or
disconnect the green wire and connect the green wire to
ground in accordance with local code. Connect the white
neutral to the service neutral. Connect all wires to the
branch circuit with approved connectors. Use copper or
aluminum wire. If aluminum wire is used, use connectors
recognized for joining aluminum to copper.
The chart below recommends the minimum circuit
protection and wire size if the appliance is the only unit
on the circuit.
SERVICE

attempting to repair or service the oven. Failure to do
this could result in a dangerous or even fatal shock.
