WARNING: DO NOT PLUG THE “PIGTAIL” POWER CORD INTO A LIVE WALL

RECEPTACLE BEFORE CORD IS

PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TO THE TERMINAL BLOCK.

1.This appliance must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as specified on nameplate. Models rated at 15 KW on 240 volts (11.25 KW on 208 V) or more require a separate 50 ampere circuit. Models rated less than 15 KW on 240 volts (11.25 KW on 208 V) require a separate 40 ampere circuit. Fuse both sides of the line. DO NOT fuse the neutral. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code and/or local codes and ordinances for the kilowatt rating of the range. The nameplate is located on the front frame of the main oven behind the main door. For the Eye-level Microwave, it is on the front frame behind microwave oven door.

2.All wires ending at the appliance must terminate in ring type terminals.

3.All power cords and cables to appliance must be fitted with a UL approved strain relief.

4.The range should be connected with copper wire only. Aluminum wire requires special connectors. Improper use may create a fire hazard.

5.Appliance may be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable. Do not use an extension cord. Allow 4 feet (min.) slack so appliance can be moved for servicing. Wire sizes must conform to the ampere rating of the range. See paragraph C-l above.

6.WARNING: THE TERMINAL BLOCK ON THE APPLIANCE ACCEPTS COPPER WIRE ONLY, NOT ALUMINUM. IF ALUMINUM HOUSE WIRING MUST BE CONNECTED, USE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES:

l Connect copper wire to the range terminal block (using ring terminals).

l Connect the copper wire to the aluminum house wiring using special connectors UL listed and designed for joining copper to aluminum.

Wire size and connectors must conform to the ampere rating of the range as stated in paragraph C-l.

Attach special ring connectors to the aluminum house wiring that are UL listed and designed for joining copper to aluminum. These special ring connectors (available at electrical supply houses) can be attached directly to the range terminal block.

The connectors must conform to the ampere rating of the range as stated in paragraph C-l.

7.If local codes permit, your range may be connected with a three wire flexible type, UL listed “pigtail” power cord of the proper ampere rating.* Plug must match a 3-wire NEMA type lo-50R receptacle (shown below).

8.CAUTION: FOR MOBILE HOME USE, A 4-WIRE POWER CORD MUST BE USED. This appliance is manufactured with ground connected to frame. This must be revised so green ground wire of 4-wire power cord is connected to frame.

If using a 4-wire NEMA type 14-50R receptacle (shown above) you must use a matching 4-wire UL listed “pigtail” power cord. Cord should be type SRD or SRDT, at least 4 feet long with all conductors ending in ring terminals at the appliance.

MINIMUM CONDUCTOR SIZE. . .

(4-WIRE COPPER POWER CORD)

For 40 ampere circuits: two No. 8 conductors, one No. 10 white neutral, and one No. 8 green ground.

For 50 ampere circuits: two No. 6 conductors, one No. 8 neutral and one No. 6 green ground.

*CAUTION: Power Cord Requirements - Only a power supply cord kit rated at 240 volts, 50 amperes and investigated for use with ranges shall be used.
