ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
•
This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.70 (latest edition) and
local electrical code requirements.
•
This appliance may be connected by means of permanent “Hard Wiring” or “Power
Supply Cord kit”.
•
Power supply cord is not supplied, but it is available through your local electric sup-
ply house.
•
Use only 3-conductor or 4-conductor CSA/UL listed range cord rated at 30 amps with
250V minimum and provided with ring terminals. These cords should be provided
with strain relief or conduit connector.
Warning:
Frame grounded through neutral lead. If used in,
–
New branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC),
–
Mobile homes,
–
Recreational vehicles, or
–
In an area where local codes prohibit grounding through neutral, use a 4 con-
ductor cord or conduit.
•
The range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as
specified on the rating plate.
•
The range can be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker box)
through flexible, counduit with copper or aluminium wiring (with grounding wire).
Allow two to three feet of slack in the line so that it can be moved if servicing is ever
necessary.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WITH POWER CORD
Use a 3-wire power supply cord kit rated for 30 amps - 240-208/120 volts with closed loop
terminals and marked for use with ranges.
Where local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, use a 4-wire power supply
cord.
The CSA/UL listed cord must be secured to the range with a suitable strain relief bra-
cket.
The electrical connection is made at the terminal block, which is located behind the ac-
cess door on the back of the range.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WITH CONDUIT
Use 1/2” (1.3 cm) trade size CSA/UL listed conduit with a conduit clamp, 16 AWG/600
volt copper conductor colored red for line 1 and black for line 2 and 16 AWG/600 volt
copper conductor (or 14 AWG/600 volt copper conductor if grounding through neutral)
colored white for neutral with closed loop terminals marked for use with ranges.
Where local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, use a green 14 AWG copper
conductor as directed in the 4-wire connector directions.
The conduit must be secured to the range with the strain relief bracket.
The electrical connection is made at the terminal block, which is located behind the ac-
cess door on the back of the range.
