STEP 1. MEETING ELECTRICAL CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION
CAUTION
appliance. Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and
be connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by
a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as specified on the rating plate. The
rating plate is located above the drawer on the oven frame. (Fig. 1 or Fig. 2)
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range
connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician
show you where your main range disconnect is located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area.
Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a
hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your range must be wired and
fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70–Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction
(not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.
When installing an electric range in new construction, follow Steps 2 and 3 for 4-wire
connection.
You must use a 3-wire or 4-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz
electrical system.
If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a licensed
electrician install an approved outlet.
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided with
ring terminals on the wire and a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range
cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 1
connection openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the
knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.
• Because range terminals are not accessible after the range is in position, a flexible service conduit or
cord must be used.
NOTE
ALL NEW BRANCH-CIRCUIT CONSTRUCTIONS, MOBILE HOMES,
RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO
NOT ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL, REQUIRE A 4-CONDUCTOR UL-
LISTED RANGE CORD.
For personal safety, do not use an extension cord with this
