KitchenAid Convection Oven installation instructions Direct wire method Copper or Aluminum wire

Direct wire method: Copper or Aluminum wire

NOTE: The bag containing three aluminum terminal lugs must be used when making a direct wire connection.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Use 8 gauge copper or 6 gauge aluminum wire.

Electrically ground range.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

This range may be connected directly to the fuse disconnect or circuit breaker box; or with a U.L.-listed, 40 amp range power supply cable. Depending on your electrical supply, make the required three- wire or four-wire connection.

1.Disconnect power.

2.Remove the knockout as needed for conduit connection.

3.Assemble a U.L.-

8.Attach three aluminum lugs to terminal posts.

Use a 3/8” nut driver and tighten the nuts securely. Nuts must be tightened to 20 in/lbs of torque for proper electrical connection.

9.Complete electrical connection according to your type electrical supply (“Four-wire electrical connection” or “Three-wire electrical connection.”)

6 gauge aluminum wire, tighten to

35 in/lbs of torque to make a proper electrical connection. See Figure 2.

Use this method only if local codes permit connecting ground conductor to neutral supply wire.

10. Loosen (do not remove) the 3 slotted

set screws. Insert the neutral (white)

wire into the hole at the bottom of the

center position lug (attached to center

terminal screw of terminal block). See

Figure 3. Connect the other two wires

(lines 1 and 2) to the outer aluminum

lugs. Securely tighten the set screws.

4.Strip the insulation back 1 inch from the end of each wire.

5.Allow enough slack in the wire to easily attach the wiring terminal block.

6.Use 3/8” nut driver and remove the outside nuts on the terminal block screws. Do not loosen the factory- tightened nuts behind the outside nuts.

Figure 2

Use this method for new installations, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and whenever four-wire installation is required.

10. Remove the ground-link screw from

the range frame. Save the ground-link

screw and cup washer. Bend up the

ground link so that it does not contact

the range. See Figures 1 and 2.

11. Connect the bare ground wire to the

range using the ground-link screw and

cup washer. The ground wire must be

attached first and must not contact any

other terminal. See Figure 2.

12. Loosen (do not remove) the 3 slotted

aluminum wire, tighten to 35 in/lbs of

torque to make a proper electrical

connection. See Figure 3.
