ELECTRIC WALL OVEN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These appliances should be connected to
2.
the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker)
box through flexible armored or nonmetallic
sheathed cable. The flexible armored cable
extending from the appliance should be con-
nected directly to the junction box. The junc-
tion box should be located as shown in Figure
1 with as much slack as possible remaining in
the cable between the box and the appliance,
so it can be moved if servicing is ever neces-
sary
A suitable strain relief must be provided to at-
3.
tach the flexible armored cable to the junction
box.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrical ground is required on this appli-
ance.
Do not connect to the electrical supply until
appliance is permanently grounded.
Disconnect power to the junction box before
making the electrical connection.
This appliance must be connected to a
grounded, metallic, permanent wiring sys-
tem, or a grounding connector should be
connected to the grounding terminal or wire
lead on the appliance.
Do not use a gas supply line for grounding
the appliance.
Failure to do any of the above could result in a
fire, personal injury or electrical shock.
In cold weather shipping and storage
conditions, make sure that oven is in final location
at least three (3) hours before switching on
power. Switching on power while oven is still cold
may damage the oven controls.

2. Electrical connection

It is the responsibility and obligation of the
consumer to contact a qualified installer to assure
that the electrical installation is adequate and is
in conformance with the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition, or with CSA
Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1,
and local codes and ordinances.
Risk of electrical shock (Failure to
heed this warning may result in electrocution or
other serious injury.) This appliance is equipped
with copper lead wire. If connection is made to
aluminum house wiring, use only connectors that
are approved for joining copper and aluminum
wire in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local code and ordinances. When
installing connectors having screws which bear
directly on the steel and/or aluminum flexible
conduit, do no tighten screws sufficiently to
damage the flexible conduit. Do not over bend
or excessively distort flexible conduit to avoid
separation of convolutions en exposure of internal
wires.
DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe. DO NOT
connect to electrical power supply until appliance
is permanently grounded. Connect the ground
wire before turning on the power.
(If your appliance is equipped with a
white neutral conductor.)
This appliance is manufactured with a white
neutral power supply and a frame connected
copper wire. The frame is grounded by
connection of grounding lead to neutral lead at
the termination of the conduit, if used in USA, in a
new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile
home, recreational vehicles, where local code
do not permit grounding through the neutral
(white) wire or in Canada, disconnect the white
and green lead from each other and use ground
lead to ground unit in accordance with local
codes, connect neutral lead to branch circuit-
neutral conductor in usual manner see Figure 4.
If your appliance is to be connected to a 3 wire
grounded junction box (US only), where local
code permit connecting the appliance-grounding
conductor to the neutral (white) see Figure 3.
