Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not
existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.
When installing an electric range in new construction, follow Steps 2 and 3 for 4-wire
connection.
You must use a 3-wire or 4-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz
electrical system.
If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a licensed
electrician install an approved outlet.
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided
with ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device.
This appliance 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 having amperage
as specified on the rating plate. The rating
plate is located above the drawer on the
oven frame. (Fig. 1 or Fig. 2)
We recommend you have the electrical
wiring and hookup of your range connected
by a qualified electrician. After installation,
have the electrician show you where your
main range 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 range
must be wired and fused to meet the
requirements of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70–Latest Edition. You can
