Bosch Appliances HDS252U, HDS255U, HDS256U Connect Electric, 120/240, 12.1, Amps, 120/208

Step 4: Connect Electric

4. Connect Electric

Ranges are dual rated for use on either 120/240 VAC or 120/208 VAC. See table for power ratings and circuit breaker sizes based upon the supply voltage for each mode (See chart below).

VOLTS	HZ	RATING	CIRCUIT
A.C.		KW	BREAKER
120/240	60	12.1	30 AMPS
120/208	60	9.1	25 AMPS

CAUTION: make certain that gas shutoff valve and all burner controls are in OFF position before beginning.

If there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is prop- erly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.

This appliance may be connected to the power supply by installing flexible conduit or a power cord set. The electrical rating of the power cord set (not supplied) must be 240 volt, 30 amperes. The power cord set shall be marked “For Use with Ranges.”

The power supply shall be connected to the range terminal block compartment located near the bottom of the back panel (See Figure 4 , at right). It is accessible by removing the terminal block cover.

Place strain relief in knockout below terminal block (See Figure 4 below). Feed range cord through hole and strain relief up to terminal block. Allow for slack in the cord between the strain releif and terminal block. Once cord length/ slack has been adjusted, attach strain relief per instructrions included with strain relief. Connect wiring as described below and on next page.

TIP

The knockout panel can be removed from the range to

install the strain relief:

Remove panel from range, install strain relief in panel

and re-attach.

Electrical Connection Procedures

Refer to Figures 5-10 ( below and next page) for further explanation.

WARNING

CONSULT YOUR INSTRUCTIONS FOR ‘ELECTRICAL CONNECTION PROCEDURES’. COPPER WIRE MUST BE USED FOR CONNECTION TO THE TERMINAL BLOCK. WHEN POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT IS USED TO CONNECT RANGE TO THE POWER SUPPLY. USE ONLY CORD KITS RATED 120/240 VOLTS MINIMUM AND MARKED FOR USE WITH RANGES. REFER TO INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER CORD KIT AMPERAGE RATING, RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY BE INCURRED IF AN INCORRECT SIZE RANGE CORD KIT IS USED, THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED, OR THE STRAIN RELIEF BRACKET IS DISCARDED.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK FRAME GROUNDED TO NEUTRAL OF APPLIANCE THROUGH A LINK 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 NEUTRAL CONDUCTOR. FOR INSTALLATIONS WHERE GROUNDING THROUGH THE NEUTRAL CONDUC- TOR IS PROHIBITED:

(1)DISCONNECT THE LINK FROM THE NEUTRAL.

(2)USE GROUNDING TERMINAL OR LEAD TO GROUND UNIT: AND

(3)CONNECT NEUTRAL TERMINAL OR LEAD TO BRANCH CIRCUIT NEUTRAL IN USUAL MANNER (WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS CONNECTED BY MEANS OF A CORD KIT, USE 4 CONDUCTOR CORD FOR THIS PURPOSE).

Center or white wire must always be attached to the central terminal on block.

All screw and nut connections must be tight.

Remove ground strap from terminal block. Install with care, the green ground wire as shown at left. Attach ground wire and strap with screw provided with strap.
