CONNECTING THE POWER

Step 1.Meeting Electrical Connection Requirements

CAUTION

For personal safety, do not use an extension cord with this appliance. Remove house fuse or open circuit

breaker before beginning installation.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual

properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as speciﬁed on

the rating plate. The rating plate is located on the right of oven door.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualiﬁed

electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main range disconnect is located.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area.

Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are

no local codes, your range must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI / NFPA No. 70 – Latest Edition.

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize

a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.

When installing an electric range in new construction, follow Steps for 4-wire connection.

You must use a 3-wire or 4-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y / 120 Volt or 240 / 120 Volt, 60 hertz

electrical system.

If the electrical service provided does not meet the above speciﬁcations, have a licensed electrician install

an approved outlet.

Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords maybe provided with ring

terminals on wire and a strain relief device.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord is

not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with no minimal 13 ⁄ 8” diameter connection

openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knock out hole to keep the

edge from damaging the cable.

NOTE

This appliance is manufactured ready to be installed with a

4-wire cord set.
