ELECTRIC WALL OVEN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3. Electrical connection

It is the responsibility and obligation of the consumer to contact a qualified installer to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition, or with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and local codes and ordinances.

Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

These appliances are equipped with a copper conductor flexible cable. If connection is made to aluminum house wiring, use only special connectors which are approved for joining copper and aluminum wires in accordance with National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.

These appliances are manufactured with a white neutral power supply wire and a frame connected green or bare copper grounding wire.

1.If local codes permit connection of the frame grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire.

Connect the green (or bare copper) wire and the white wire from the appliance cable to the supply cable ground wire (white or bare) inside the junction box. Connect the remaining wires inside the junction box from the power supply cable to the matching colors of the appliance cable wires (figure 2).

Cable from Power Supply

2.If used in mobile homes or if local codes DO NOT permit connection of the frame grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire, separate the white and bare copper ground wires that extend out of the end of the supply cable of the appliance. Connect the white wire from supply cable to the neutral white wire in the junction box. Connect the black and red wires from the supply cable to the matching color wires in the junction box. The bare wire must now be used to ground the appliance in accordance with local electrical codes. Connect the bare copper ground wire to the grounded lead in the service panel. DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe. DO NOT connect to electrical power supply until appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the ground wire before turning on the power (figure 3).

If connecting to a 4-wire electrical system, the appliance frame MUST NOT be connected to the neutral wire of the 4-wire electrical system.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads supplied with the appliance are CSA-recognized for connection to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much higher than temperature rating of household wiring. The
