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 wire gauge are in accordance with local codes.

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

This range 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:

■Models rated from 12.7 kW at 240 volts (9.5 at 208 volts) require a separate 50-amp circuit.

■A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

■Flexible cable from appliance should be connected directly to the junction box.

■Fuse both sides of the line.

■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.
