Step 7: Electrical Requirements, Connection & Grounding

Prior to servicing appliance, always disconnect appliance electrical supply cord, if so equipped, from wall receptacle. If appliance is hard-wired to power supply, disconnect power to unit by turning off the proper circuit breaker or disconnecting the proper fuse. Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned ON accidentally.

Dual Fuel range models can be connected or hardwired to the power supply as described on page 17.

A neutral supply wire must be provided from the power source (breaker/fuse panel) because critical range components, including the surface burner spark re- ignition module, require 120 VAC to operate safely and properly.

WARNING:

An improper 120/ 240 VAC power supply will cause malfunction, damage to this appliance, and possibly create a condition of shock hazard.

If the correct power supply circuit is not provided, it is the responsibility and obligation of the installer and user to have proper power supply connected. This must be accomplished in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances by a qualified electrician. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure compliance of local codes. In the absence of local codes and ordinances, the power supply connection shall be in accordance with the National Electric Code.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances when grounding. In the absence of these codes or ordinances observe National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA No. 70 current issue. See the following information in this section (Step 7) for grounding method.

Electrical wiring diagrams and schematics are attached behind the Door Trim of the range, for access by a qualified service technician (see Figure 5 page 9).

The ranges are to be connected to a 240/208 VAC power supply.

Dual Fuel models must be connected to the power supply utilizing one of the following methods. For all methods of connection, the length of the cord or conduit/wiring must allow the unit to be slid completely out of the cabinet without having to unplug or disconnect the unit from the power supply. Recommended minimum free length of cord or conduit is 4ft (1.2m). Electrical installations and grounding must be in accordance with all local codes and ordinances, and/or the National Electric Code, as applicable.
