ELECTRICAL CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS

The third step of the installation is to follow the electrical connection requirements below.
Ensure that dedicated circuit protection is prepared as recommended and that the oven is grounded properly.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Be sure the wall oven is installed and grounded properly by a qualified installer or service technician.
• This wall oven must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in their absence, with the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.70- latest edition* in United States, or with CSA Standard C22.1-1982 and
C22.2 No.01982 (or latest edition)**, Canadian Electrical Code, Part1, and all local codes and ordinances.
• This wall oven 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. To know the circuit breaker or fuse required by this
model, see the rating plate to find the wattage consumption and refer to the table below to get the circuit breaker
or fuse amperage.

• A double wall oven can consume up to 7,800 W at 240 VAC.
A 40 Amp circuit breaker with wire gauge #8 AWG must be used.
• A single wall oven can consume up to 4,100 W at 240 VAC.
A 30 Amp circuit breaker with wire gauge at least #10 AWG must be used.
IMPORTANT NOTE
