Electrical Requirements
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.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
range is properly grounded.
This range must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate
and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest edition, and all local
codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

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 at the
bottom of the right-hand mounting rail. See the following

Models rated from 12.7 kW at 240 volts (9.5 at 208 volts)
require a separate 50-amp circuit.
