Electrical Requirements
A 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 above the storage drawer on
the oven frame.
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, You can get a
copy by writing:

Quincy, MA 02269
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 3 and 5 for 4-wire
connection.
You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A C..208Y/120 Volt
or 240/i 20 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system.. If you connect
to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors
approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.
If the electrical service provided does not meet the
above specifications, have a licensed electrician install
an approved outlet..
ALL NEW CONSTRUCTIONS,
MOBILE HOMES AND
INSTALLATIONS WHERE
LOCAL CODES DO NOT ALLOW
GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-ffsted range
cord. These cords may be provided with ring terminals on
wire and a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with !25/250 minimum
volt range is required A 50 amp range cord is not
recommended but if used, it should be marked for use
with nominal 1¾" diameter connection openings., Care
should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within
the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the
cable,
. Because range terminals are not accessible after range
is in position, flexible service conduit or cord must be
used.,
NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step 3D and then
to Step 6 or 7
• On some models, a filter capacitor may be connected
between the black and white leads on the junction
block,,
