IMPORTANT:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S USE
WARNING: DO NOT PLUG THE “PIGTAIL”
POWER CORD INTO A LIVE WALL
RECEPTACLE
BEFORE
CORD IS
PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TO THE
TERMINAL BLOCK.
1. This appliance must be connected to the proper
electrical voltage and frequency as specified on
nameplate. Models rated at 15 KW on 240 volts
(11.25 KW on 208 V) or more require a separate 50
ampere circuit. Models rated less than 15 KW on 240
volts (11.25 KW on 208 V) require a separate 40
ampere circuit. Fuse both sides of the line. DO NOT
fuse the neutral. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker
is recommended. Wire sizes must conform to the
requirements of the National Electrical Code and/or
local codes and ordinances for the kilowatt rating of
the range. The nameplate is located on the front
frame of the main oven behind the main door. For
the Eye-level Microwave, it is on the front frame
behind microwave oven door.
2. All wires ending at the appliance must terminate in
ring type terminals.
3. All power cords and cables to appliance must be
fitted with a UL approved strain relief.
4. The range should be connected with copper wire
only. Aluminum wire requires special connectors.
Improper use may create a fire hazard.
5. Appliance may be connected directly to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible
armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable. Do
not use an extension cord. Allow 4 feet (min.) slack
so appliance can be moved for servicing. Wire sizes
must conform to the ampere rating of the range. See
paragraph C-l above.
6. WARNING: THE TERMINAL BLOCK ON THE
APPLIANCE ACCEPTS COPPER WIRE ONLY,
NOT ALUMINUM. IF ALUMINUM HOUSE WIRING
MUST BE CONNECTED, USE ONE OF THE
FOLLOWING PROCEDURES:
l Connect copper wire to the range terminal block
(using ring terminals).
l Connect the copper wire to the aluminum house
wiring using special connectors UL listed and
designed for joining copper to aluminum.
Wire size and connectors must conform to
the ampere rating of the range as stated in
paragraph C-l.
Attach special ring connectors to the aluminum
house wiring that are UL listed and designed
for joining copper to aluminum. These special
ring connectors (available at electrical supply
houses) can be attached directly to the range
terminal block.
The connectors must conform to the ampere
rating of the range as stated in paragraph C-l.
7. If local codes permit, your range may be connected
with a three wire flexible type, UL listed “pigtail”
power cord of the proper ampere rating.* Plug must
match a 3-wire NEMA type lo-50R receptacle
(shown below).
8. CAUTION: FOR MOBILE HOME USE, A 4-WIRE
POWER CORD MUST BE USED. This appliance is
manufactured with ground connected to frame. This
must be revised so green ground wire of 4-wire
power cord is connected to frame.
If using a 4-wire NEMA type 14-50R receptacle
(shown above) you must use a matching 4-wire UL
listed “pigtail” power cord. Cord should be type SRD
or SRDT, at least 4 feet long with all conductors
ending in ring terminals at the appliance.
MINIMUM CONDUCTOR SIZE. . .
(4-WIRE COPPER POWER CORD)
For 40 ampere circuits: two No. 8 conductors, one
No. 10 white neutral, and one No. 8 green ground.
For 50 ampere circuits: two No. 6 conductors, one
No. 8 neutral and one No. 6 green ground.
*CAUTION: Power Cord Requirements - Only a
power supply cord kit rated at 240 volts, 50 amperes
and investigated for use with ranges shall be used.
