Water Supply Requirements

A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the steam feature. In Massachusetts, plumbing code 248 CMR 3.00 and 10.00 must be followed. If you have questions about your water pressure call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the oven needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 psi (276 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 psi (276 kPa):

Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Electrical Requirements

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path and the wire gauge are in accordance with local codes.

Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the oven is properly grounded.

This oven must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system.

Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association

One Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

CSA International

8501 East Pleasant Valley Road

Cleveland, OH 44131-5575

Electrical Connection

To properly install your oven, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

Oven must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating plate. The model/serial number rating plate is located at the bottom of the right-hand mounting rail. See the following illustration.

A. Model/serial number plate

Models rated from 7.3 to 9.6 kW at 240 volts (5.5 to 7.2 kW at 208 volts) require a separate 50-amp circuit. Models rated at 7.2 kW and below at 240 volts (5.4 kW and below at

208volts) require a separate 30-amp circuit.

A circuit breaker is recommended.

Connect directly to the circuit breaker box (or fused disconnect) through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable (with grounding wire). See “Make Electrical Connection” section.

Flexible conduit from the oven should be connected directly to the junction box.

Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for serviceability of the oven.

A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be provided.

If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:

1.Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.

2.Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of copper wire using special connectors and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.

Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
