ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
. This appliance
must be properly grounded.
. Do not use an extension
cord.
Before installing
range, switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting
means
to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.
When the disconnection
means cannot be locked,
securely fasten a prominent
warning
device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
Failure to follow these instructions
may result in serious injury or death.
A WARNING
Fire Hazard
Improper
connection
of aluminum
house wiring to copper leads can result in an electrical
or fire hazard. If
residence leads are aluminum,
use only connectors
designed for joining copper to aluminum
and follow the
manufacturer's
recommended
procedure
closely. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
We recommend
you have the electrical wiring and hookup of the appliance
connected
by a qualified
electrician.
After installation,
have the electrician
show you how to disconnect
power from the appliance.
You must use a single-phase,
120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 Hertz electrical
system.
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction
(not existing) utilize a
four-conductor
connection
to an electric oven. When installing an electric oven in new construction,
a mobile
home, recreational
vehicle or area where local codes prohibit grounding
through
the neutral conductor,
refer
to the section on four-conductor
branch circuit connections.
Check with your local utilities for electrical
codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according
to governing
code could result in a hazardous condition.
If there are no local codes, your oven must be wired
and fused to meet the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70-latest edition, available from the National Fire
Protection
Association.
Rating plate is located on oven front frame and is visible when oven door is open.
This appliance
must supplied be with the proper voltage and frequency,
and connected
to an individual,
properly grounded, 40 amp (minimum) branch circuit protected
by a circuit breaker or time-delay
fuse.
DO NOT shorten the flexible conduit.
The conduit strain relief clamp must be securely attached
to the junction
box and the flexible conduit must securely attached
to the clamp.
If the flexible conduit will not fit within the
clamp, do not install the oven until a clamp of the proper size is obtained.
The 3 power leads supplied with this appliance
are suitable for connection
to heavier gauge household
wiring. The insulation of these 3 leads is rated for temperatures
much higher than the temperature
rating of
the household wiring.
The current-carrying
capacity of the conductor
is governed
by the wire gauge and the
temperature
rating of the insulation
around the wire.
