Amana AOES2430 owner manual Grounding Instructions, 4-wire Electrical System, Grounded Neutral

Grounding Instructions

This appliance is manufactured with neutral (white), power supply wire, and a cabinet-connected green (or bare copper) grounding wire.

1.With oven positioned in front of cabinet opening, connect the appliance cable to the junction box through the U.L.-listed conduit connector. Complete electrical connection according to local codes and ordinances. See preferred junction box location in Figure 1 on page 4.

2.Connect wire leads extending through conduit to appropriate supply wires. See following examples.

Where local codes permit connecting the cabinet- grounding conductor to the neutral (white) junction box wire (see Figure 3)

1.Disconnect the power supply.

2.Connect together the 3 wires: bare copper and white appliance cable wires and the neutral (white) wire in the junction box.

3.Connect the 2 black wires together, then the two red wires together.

When connecting to a 4-wire electrical system, when installing in a mobile home, or when local codes DO NOT permit connecting the cabinet- grounding conductor to the neutral (white) junction box wire (see Figure 4)

1.Disconnect the power supply.

2.Separate the bare copper and white wires.

3.Connect the white appliance cable wire to the neutral (white) wire in the junction box.

4.Connect the 2 black wires together, then the two red wires together.

5.Connect the grounding wire (bare copper) to the grounding wire in the junction box.

	NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads
	supplied with this appliance are UL-recognized for
	connection to larger gauge household wiring. The
	insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much
	higher than the temperature rating of household wiring.
	The current carrying capacity of the conductor is
	governed by the temperature rating of the insulation
	around the wire, rather than the wire gauge alone.
