Location
We recommend you have the electrical
wiring and hookup of your oven connected by
a qualified electrician. After installation, have
the electrician show you where your main oven
disconnect is located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes
which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven
according to governing codes could result in a
hazardous condition. If there are no local codes,
your oven must be wired and fused to meet the
requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition. You can get a copy by

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical
Code requires that new, but not existing,
construction utilize a four-conductor connection to
an electric oven. When installing an electric oven
in new construction, a mobile home, recreational
vehicle or an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor, follow
the instructions in
the section on NEW CONSTRUCTIONAND FOUR-
CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUITCONNECTION.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C.
208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical
system. If you connect to aluminum wiring,
properly installed connectors approved for use
with aluminum wiring must be used.
