before beginning installation.
•
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual properly
grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as speci
fi
ed on the rating plate. The

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Rating Plate
•
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup
of your range connected by a quali
fi
ed electrician. After
installation, have the electrician show you where your main
range disconnect is located.
•
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 range must be wired and
fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/ NFPA No. 70 - Latest Edition. You can get a
copy by writing:

National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269
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 a new construction, follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wire connection.
•
You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to
aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.
•
If the electrical service provided does not meet the above speci
fi
cations, have a licensed electrician install an
approved outlet.
• NOTE:
Use of automatic, wireless, or wired external switches that shut off power to the appliance is not recommended
for this product.
STOP
ALL NEW BRANCH CIRCUIT INSTALLATIONS, MOBILE HOMES, RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND
INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO NOT ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL, REQUIRE A
4-CONDUCTOR CORD OR CONDUIT
•
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.
•
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
⅜
” diameter connection openings. Care should
be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.
•
Because range terminals are not accessible after the range is in position, a
fl
exible service conduit or cord must be
used.
• NOTE:
If conduit is being used, go to Step 3D and then to Step 6 or 7.
•
On some models, a
fi
lter capacitor may be connected between the black and white leads on the junction block.
