Electrical Requirements

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Do not use an extension cord.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate
and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
One Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the
power supply cord plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This range is manufactured with the neutral terminal connected
to the cabinet. Use a 3-wire, UL listed, 40 or 50 amp power
supply cord (pigtail); or if local codes do not permit ground
through the neutral, use a 4-wire power supply cord rated at
250 volts, 40- or 50-amps and investigated for use with ranges.
Electrical Connection
To properly install your range, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage
and frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating
plate. The model/serial number rating plate is located on the
oven frame behind the storage drawer panel. Refer to the
figures in the "Product Dimensions" section of the "Location
Requirements" section.
When a 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase 120/240 volt, 60 Hz,
AC only electrical supply is available, a 50-amp maximum
circuit protection is required (or, if specified on the model/
serial rating plate, when a 4-wire or 3-wire single phase
120/208 volt 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply is available, a
40- or 50-amp maximum circuit protection is required), fused
on both sides of the line.
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
The range can be connected directly to the fused disconnect
(or circuit breaker box) through flexible or nonmetallic
sheathed, copper or aluminum cable. See "Electrical
Connection."
Allow 2 to 3 ft (61.0 cm to 91.4 cm) of slack in the line so that
the range can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.
A UL listed conduit connector must be provided at each end
of the power supply cable (at the range and at the junction
box).
Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the range.
The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range or
inside the storage drawer in a clear plastic bag.
