Electrical Connection
To properly install your oven, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
Oven must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and
frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating
plate. The model/serial number rating plate is located at the
bottom of the right-hand mounting rail. See the following
illustration.
Models rated from 7.3 to 9.6 kW at 240 volts (5.5 to 7.2 kW
at 208 volts) require a separate 40-amp circuit. Models rated
at 7.2 kW and below at 240 volts (5.4 kW and below at
208 volts) require a separate 30-amp circuit.
A circuit breaker is recommended.
Connect directly to the circuit breaker box (or fused
disconnect) through flexible, armored or nonmetallic
sheathed, copper cable (with grounding wire). See “Make
Electrical Connection” section.
Flexible conduit from the oven should be connected directly
to the junction box.
Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for
serviceability of the oven.
A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided.
