ELECTRICAL SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• An electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
• Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance.
• If a cold water pipe is interrupted by plas-
tic, nonmetallic gaskets, or other insulat-
ing materials, do not use for grounding.
• Do not ground to a gas pipe.
• Do not use a fuse in the neutral or ground-
ing circuit. It could result in an electrical
shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you are
in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death or serious injury.
GENERAL
If codes permit, and a separate grounding wire
is used, it is recommended that a qualified elec-
trician determine that the grounding path and
wire gauge are in accordance with local codes.
The following information applies to the built-
in electric wall oven wiring:
• The oven must be connected to the proper
electrical voltage and frequency as specified
on the model/serial rating plate (located on
the oven frame).
• Models rated from 7.3 to 9.6 kW at 240-volts,
(6.5 to 7.2 kW at 208-volts), require a sepa-
rate 40-ampere circuit. Models rated at 7.2
kW and below at 240-volts, (5.4 kW and
below at 208-volts), require a separate 30-
ampere circuit.

• The oven must be connected with copper
wire only.
• Wire sizes and connections must conform to
the requirements of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70—latest edition*, and
all local codes and ordinances. Wire sizes
and connections must conform with the rat-
ing of the appliance. Copies of the standards
listed above may be obtained from:

• The oven should be connected directly to a
time delay fuse or circuit breaker through
flexible, armored, or nonmetallic sheathed,
copper cable. The flexible, armored cable
that extends from the appliance should be
connected directly to the junction box.
• Fuse both sides of the line.
• Locate the junction box to allow as much
slack as possible between the junction box
and the appliance so that the appliance can
be moved if servicing is ever necessary. Do
not cut the conduit.
• A U.L.-listed conduit connector must be pro-
vided at the junction box.
• Wiring diagrams are located in Section 7 of
this Job Aid.
• A Tech Sheet is located below the top ac-
cess cover on all models.
