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 the wire gauge are in accordance
with local codes.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
oven is properly grounded.
This oven 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 oven, you must determine the type
of electrical connection you will be using and follow the
instructions provided for it here.
■
Oven 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
under the control panel on single ovens and under the
control panel on the upper oven cavity on double ovens.
See the following illustrations.
Single oven
A. Model/serial/rating plate
■
Models rated from 7.3 to 9 kW at 240 volts (5.4 to 7.4 kW
at 208 volts) require a separate 40-amp circuit. Models
rated at 4.8 kW and below at 240 volts (3.6 kW and below
at 208 volts) require a separate 20-amp circuit.
■
A circuit breaker is recommended.
■
Connect directly to the circuit breaker box (or fused
disconnect) through flexible, armored or nonmetallic
sheathed, copper cable (with grounding wire).
See “Make Electrical Connection” section.
■
Flexible conduit from the oven should be connected
directly to the junction box.

■
Fuse both sides of the line.
■
Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is
for serviceability of the oven.
■
A UL-listed or CSA-approved conduit connector must be
provided.
■
If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure
below:
1.
Connect a section of solid copper wire to the ends
of the flexible conduit 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.
