Electrical Requirements
Rating plate is located on oven side trim, side
front frame or lower front frame.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring
and hookup of your oven connected by a
qualifi ed electrician. After installation, have the
electrician show you how to disconnect power
from the range.
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 requirements of the National Electrical
Code, NFPA No. 70–Latest Edition, available from
the National Fire Protection Association.
Effective January 1, 1996, the National
Electrical Code requires that new, but not
existing, construction utilize a four-conductor
connection to an electric oven. When installing
an electric oven in new construction, a mobile
home, recreational vehicle or an area where
local codes prohibit grounding through the
neutral conductor, follow the instructions in the
section on NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-
CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Instructions
For Your Safety
• Be sure your oven is installed properly by
a qualifi ed installer or service technician.
• Be sure the oven is securely installed in a
cabinet that is fi rmly attached to the house
structure. Weight on the oven door could
cause the oven to tip and result in injury.
Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or
hang on the oven door.
• Make sure the cabinets and wall
coverings around the oven can withstand
the temperatures (up to 200°F [93.3°C])
generated by the oven.
WARNING:
The electrical
power to the oven supply line must
be shut off while line connections are
being made. Failure to do so could
result in serious injury or death.
