WARNING
This appliance must be properly
grounded .
WARNING
All new constructions, mobile
homes, recreational vehicles and installations where
local codes do not allow grounding through neutral,
require a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord .
WARNING
To prevent fire or shock, do not use
an extension cord with this appliance.
WARNING
To prevent shock, remove house
fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning
installation .
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and
hookup of your range connected by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician show
you how to disconnect power from the range .
You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or
120/240 VAC, 60 hertz electrical system. If you
connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed
connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring
must be used .
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical
Code requires that new construction (not existing)
utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range .
When installing an electric range in new construction,
mobile home, recreational vehicle, or an area where
local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral
conductor, refer to the section on four-conductor
branch circuit connections .
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which
apply in your area . Failure to wire your oven according
to governing codes could result in a hazardous
condition. If there are no local codes, your oven must
be wired and fused to meet the National Electrical
Code, NFPA No. 70 – latest edition, available from the
National Fire Protection Association .
This appliance must be supplied with the proper
voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual,
properly grounded, (50 amp for 48” ranges, 30 amp
for 36” and 30” ranges) branch circuit protected by a
circuit breaker or time-delay fuse .
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed
range cord . These cords may be provided with ring
terminals on wire and a strain relief device .

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (Cont.)
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum
volt range is required . A 50 amp range cord is not
recommended but if used, it should be marked for
use with nominal 1
3
