IMPORTANT: Some cabinet and building materials are not
designed to withstand the heat produced by the oven for baking
and self-cleaning. Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to
make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or
sustain other damage.
Electrical Requirements
IMPORTANT: The range must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
This range is equipped with an electronic ignition system that will
not operate if plugged into an outlet that is not properly polarized.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp fused, electrical circuit is
required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this range be provided.
■
Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits,
but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that
the outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly grounded.

The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range in a
clear plastic bag.
NOTE: The metal chassis of the range must be grounded in
