Preparation, Electrical Requirements

PREPARATION

Remove all tape and packaging. Remove clear plastic film that covers some parts (around glass oven doors, side trim) and any tape or packaging from inside the oven,

Remove the accessory pack from the oven.

Check to see if any range parts have come loose during shipping.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an Individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or time delay fuse, as noted on raUng plate.

Wiring must conform to National Electrical Cedes. If the electric service provided does not meet the above specitlcatlons, call a licensed electrician.

You can get a copy of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA No. 70-Lstest Edition by writing:

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new or rewired construction utilize a four- conductor connection to an electric range. When installing

an electric range In a new construction, follow the instructions In NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-

CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION.

if you fail to wire you r range in accordance wit h governing codes, you may create a hazardous condition.

You must use a three-wire, single-phase AC 120/240 Volt

or 208Y/120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system to operate your range.

Use #8 gauge wire and 40 Amp fuse or circuit breaker for 120/240 Volt and 208Y/120 Volt systems.

The range connector block Is approved for copper wire connection only. If you are connecting to aluminum house wiring, you must use special UL approved connectors for joining copper to aluminum.

TO MAKE ELECTRICALCONNECTION:

Remove the junction block access cover (on range back). See Fig. 4A or Fig. 4B. Some models will have a one.piece wire cover as shown in Fig. 4B. When reinstalling the one- piece wire cover_ make sure that wire does not

become pinched between wire cover and mainback.

All newconstmctions, mobile homes and Installations where local codes do not allow grounding through neutral, require a four-wire flexible cord kit. If the range is rated between 8,750 and 16,500 watts, the cord kit must be rated for 40 amps-125/250 volts. If the range Is rated between 16,501 and 22,500 watts the cord kit must be rated for 50 amps-125/250 volts. For existing construction, a thrse-wlre flexible cord kit may be used, and the same ratings apply as described above.

When using a cord kit rated 40 Amps, remove the next to outermost knockout (1 3/8" diameter) In

the connection plate. Likewise, when using a cord kit rated 50 Amps, remove the outermost knockout (1 3/4" diameter) In the plate.

You must use a clamp or strain relief to hold t he cord.

Terminations must be eit her closed loop terminals or open end spade lugs.

FOUR-WIRE CORD

CONNECTION KIT

Remove the screws on the junction bloc k studs.

Remove the ground screw, then remove the ground strap.

Install the tour-wire cord kit and strain rellet In the hole In the connection plate.

Connect the red and black leads to the outside terminals and white lead to the center terminal.

Attach the green lead below the junction block with the ground screw that was removed earlier.

Push the cord upward (to relieve strain), while tightening the strain rellet clamp.
