Bosch HDS Notice D'installation page 7

Verify that wiring to house is adequate. Contact your
local utility company to verify that the present electric
service to your home is adequate. In some instances,
the size of the wiring to the house and service switch
must be increased to handle the electrical load de-
manded by the range.
verify that wiring inside house is adequate.
Most wiring codes require a separate circuit with
separate disconnect switch and fuses either in the
main entrance panel or in a separate switch and fuse
box.
The range requires a three wire 120/240 or
120/208 volt, 30 AMP, 60 Hz AC circuit.
Most local building regulations and codes require that
electrical wiring be done by licensed electricians. Be
sure to install your range according to the electric
codes in place in your region.
,
warnIng
to prevent electrical shock, the grounding prong on
the range cord should not be cut or removed under
any circumstances. It must be plugged into a match-
ing grounding type receptacle and connected to a
correctly polarized 240- Volt circuit. If there is any
doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly
grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
Bosch recommends that the range be installed with
a power cord set (not supplied)*. The electrical
rating of the power cord set must be 120/240 volt,
30 amperes minimum. The power cord set shall be
marked "For Use with Ranges." Always use a new
power cord.
note: In Canada, the range is shipped from the fac-
tory with the range cord already installed. Proceed
to "Connect Gas Supply".
For installations other than those in Canada, connect
the range cord at the terminal block (See "Install
Electrical Connection"). Access the terminal block by
removing the cover in the lower right hand corner of
the range back panel. Install the strain relief and the
proper connector through the knockout(s) provided.
The electrical supply, including flexible conduit or
power cord, should be restricted to the shaded
areas (page 5).
Install strain relief
Place strain relief in knockout below terminal block.
Feed range cord through hole and strain relief up
to terminal block. Allow for slack in the cord be-
tween the strain relief and terminal block. Once cord
length/slack has been adjusted, attach strain relief
per instructions included with strain relief.

warnIng
The strain relief provided with your range cord must
be properly installed.
tip:
The knockout panel below the terminal block
can be removed from the range to install the
strain relief: Remove knockout panel from range,
install strain relief in panel and reattach. DO
NOT remove entire range back panel.
, WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock or Fire. Frame grounded to
neutral through a ground strap. Grounding through the
neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit
installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, and
recreational vehicles, or in an area where local codes
prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor.
For installations where grounding through the neutral
conductor is prohibited, (a) disconnect the link from
the neutral, (b) use grounding terminal or lead to
ground unit, (c) connect neutral terminal to lead branch
circuit neutral in usual manner (when the appliance is
to be connected by means of a cord kit, use
4-conductor cord for this purpose).
Use only cord kits rated 125/250 volts (minimum),
30 amperes and labeled "For Use with Ranges".
Strain relief provided with cord must be installed per
instructions included with cord.
