Electrical
requirements
Electrical Shock Hazard
l Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
*Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
*Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral
or grounding circuit could result in an
electrical shock.
*Check with a qualified electrician if
you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or death.
If codes permit and a separate grounding
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
IMPORTANT:
Save Installation Instructions for the local
electrical inspector’s use.
A
. This appliance must be
connected to the proper electrical
voltage and frequency as specified on
the serial/rating plate located behind
the oven door (double oven models -
upper oven) on the front frame. Models
rated at 7.0 kw on 240 volts (5.3 kw on
208 volts) or more require a separate 40-
ampere circuit. Fuse both sides of the
line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker
is recommended.
B
. OVEN MUST BE CONNECTED WITH
COPPER WIRE ONLY.
C
. Wire sizes and connections
must
conform to the requirements of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 - latest edition*, and all local codes
and ordinances. Wire sizes and
connections must conform with the rating
of the appliance.
Copies of the standards listed may be
obtained from:

D
n This appliance should be
connected directly to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker box)
through flexible, armored or non-metallic
sheathed, copper cable (with grounding
wire). The flexible armored cable from the
appliance should be connected directly
to the junction box.
E
n Locate the junction box to allow as
much slack in the cable as possible
between the junction box and the
appliance so that the oven can be
moved if servicing is ever necessary.
Do Not cut the conduit.
F
. A U.L.-listed conduit connector must
be provided at the junction box,
G
n A wiring diagram is included in
the Tech Sheet. The Tech Sheet is
located behind the control panel.

connection
Electrical Shock Hazard
*Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
*Do Not connect to the electrical
supply until appliance is
permanently grounded.
l Disconnect power to the junction
box before making the electrical
connection.
*This appliance must be connected to
a grounded, metallic, permanent
wiring system, or a grounding
connector should be connected to
the grounding terminal or wire lead
on the appliance.
Failure to do so could result in a fire,
personal injury or electrical shock.
L
