CAUTION
For personal safety, do not use an extension cord with this appliance. Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker
before beginning installation.
•
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 specifi ed on the rating plate. The
rating plate is located under the cooktop. See the Lift-Up Cooktop section in this manual for instructions on how to lift
the cooktop.
Rating Plate
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 a new construction, follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wire connection.
•
You must use a 3-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.
•
If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifi cations, have a licensed electrician install an
approved outlet.
NOTE: Use of automatic, wireless, or wired external switches that shut off power to the appliance is not recommended
•
for this product.
STOP
ALL NEW BRANCH CIRCUIT INSTALLATIONS, MOBILE HOMES, RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND
INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO NOT ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL, REQUIRE A
4-CONDUCTOR CORD OR CONDUIT
•
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 ⅜" diameter connection openings. Care should
be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.
•
Because range terminals are not accessible after the range is in position, a fl exible service conduit or cord must be
used.
NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step 3D and then to Step 6 or 7.
•
•
On some models, a fi lter capacitor may be connected between the black and white leads on the junction block.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
•
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup
of your range connected by a qualifi ed 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 get a
