Models rated 3.6 kW and below at 120/240 volts require a
separate 15-amp circuit. Models rated 3.6 to 4.8 kW at
120/240 volts require a separate 20-amp circuit.
A circuit breaker is recommended.
Connect directly to the circuit breaker box (or fused
disconnect) through flexible, armored or nonmetallic
sheathed, copper cable (with grounding wire). See "Make
Electrical Connection" section.
CSA approved flexible conduit from the oven should be
connected directly to the junction box.
Fuse both sides of the line.
Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for
serviceability of the oven.
A CSA approved conduit connector must be provided.
If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure
below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the ends of the
CSA approved flexible conduit leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
