Electrical Requirements - U.S.A. Only
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes and that the ground path is adequate.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
range is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord.
Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are
adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.

Electrical Connection
To properly install your range, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
■
Range 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 on the
right vertical surface of the oven door frame.)
■
Range must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system.
■
A 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC
only electrical supply is required on a separate, 30-amp
circuit, fused on both sides of the line.
■
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. The
fuse size must not exceed the circuit rating of the range
specified on the model/serial rating plate located on the right
vertical surface of the oven door frame. Refer to the figure in
the “Product Dimensions” section of “Location
Requirements” section.
■
The range can be connected directly to the fused disconnect
(or circuit breaker box) through flexible, or nonmetallic
sheathed, copper or aluminum cable. The flexible, cable
extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker box should be
connected directly to the junction box. See “Make Electrical
Connection.”
■
Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible
between the junction box and the range so that the range can
be moved if servicing is ever necessary. Do not cut the
conduit.
■
A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the range
and at the junction box).
■
Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the range (30 amps).
■
If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail
leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
Electrical Requirements - Canada Only
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate
and in conformance with the CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1 - latest edition, and all local codes and
ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
Canadian Standards Association
178 Rexdale Blvd.
Toronto, ON M9W 1R3 CANADA.
■
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure
the range is properly grounded.
■
When a 4-wire, single phase 208/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only
electrical supply is available, a 30-amp minimum circuit
protection is required, fused on both sides of the line.
■
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
■
This range is equipped with a CSA International Certified
Power Cord intended to be plugged into a standard 14-50R
wall receptacle. Be sure the wall receptacle is within reach of
range’s final location.
■
Do not use an extension cord.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground range.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
