Maytag CWE4800ACE Installation Instructions Manual page 3

LOCATION
Place oven where it will be well lighted. For proper baking
and cooking results, oven must be level. Use a spirit level
on center oven rack to level. THIS ELECTRIC OVEN IS
APPROVED FOR INSTALLATION IN COMBUSTIBLE
CABINETRY. SEE INSTALLATION DIAGRAM FOR THE
OVEN.
OUTSIDE WIRING
Your local utility company will tell you whether the present
electric service to your home is adequate. It may be
necessary to increase the size of the wiring to the house
and service switch to take care of the electrical load
demanded by the oven and/or top section. The wattage
(K.W. rating) load for the oven is specified on the name
plate on the unit.
HOUSE WIRING
Most local building regulations and codes require that all
electrical wiring be done by licensed electricians. All
wiring should conform to Local or National Electrical
Codes. This oven requires a single phase three wire
120/240 or a 120/208 volt, 60 Hz. AC circuit. Wiring codes
require that a separate circuit be run from the main
entrance panel to the oven and that it be equipped with
separate disconnect switch and fuses, either in the main
entrance panel or in a separate switch and fuse box.
RANGE CONNECTIONS
The flexible armored conduit supplied with the oven must
be connected to an approved electrical junction box by
means of an approved conduit to box connector. THE
FRAME OF THE OVEN IS GROUNDED TO NEUTRAL
ONLY WHEN THE WHITE AND BARE WIRES AT THE
END OF OVEN CONDUIT ARE JOINED TOGETHER.
Connect the white and bare wire at the end of the oven
conduit to the neutral (white) wire of the branch circuit. If
used on new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC),
mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or in an area where
local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral
conductor, untwist or disconnect the bare wire and
connect the bare wire to ground in accordance with local
code. Connect the white wire to the branch circuit. The
red and black wires must be connected to the remaining
two conductors of the branch circuit. Connect all wires to
the branch circuit with approved connectors. Use copper
or aluminum wire. If aluminum wire is used, use
connectors recognized for joining aluminum to copper.
WARNING
Be sure OVEN is DISCONNECTED from POWER
SUPPLY before examining any of the electrical
equipment.
