We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified
electrician, After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the range,
You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 hertz electrical system, If you connect
to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be
used,
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, mobile home, recreational vehicle, or an area where local codes prohibit grounding
through the neutral conductor, refer to the section on four-conductor branch circuit connections,
Check with your local utilities for electrical (:odes 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 (:odes, your
oven must be wired and fused to meet the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70 - latest edition,
available from the National Fire Protecti on Association,
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual, properly grounded, 40 amp (minimum) branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker
or time-delay fuse,
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,
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required, A 50 amp range cord
is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 1_" diameter connection
openings. Care should be taken to (:enter the (:able and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep
the edge from damaging the (:able,
The rating plate is located on the side of the drawer frame or under the cooktop.
Note: Use of automatic, wireless or wired external switches that shut off power to the appliances, are

to easily attach the cord terminals to
the terminal block. If tabs are present at
the end of the winged strain relief, they
can be removed for better fit.
NOTE: Do not install the power cord without a
strain relief. The strain relief bracket MUST be
installed before
