CAUTION: For personal safety, do not use an extension cord with this appliance. Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.

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:

 

National Fire Protection Association

 

Batterymarch Park

 

Quincy, MA 02269

 

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 3 and 5 for 4-wire

 

connection.

 

You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C.

 

208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz

 

electrical system. If you connect to aluminum

 

wiring, properly installed connectors

 

approved for use with aluminum wiring

 

must be used.

 

If the electrical service provided does not

 

meet the above specifications, have a

 

licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

ALL NEW CONSTRUCTIONS, MOBILE HOMES AND INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO NOT ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL

Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided with ring terminals on 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 138diameter 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 range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord must be used.

NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step 3D and then to Step 6 or 7.

On some models, a filter capacitor may be connected between the black and white leads on the junction block.
