Electrical Requirements - U.S.A. Only

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualied electrical installer determine

that the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with

local codes.

Do not use an extension cord.

Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are

adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition and all local codes and

ordinances.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association

1 Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02169-7471

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a

qualied electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as

to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify

the power supply cord plug. If it will not t the outlet, have a

proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

Electrical Connection

To properly install your range, you must determine the type

of electrical connection you will be using and follow the

instructions provided for it here.

■ Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage

and frequency as specied on the model/serial/rating

plate. The model/serial/rating plate is located behind the

oven door on the top right-hand side of the oven frame.

■ This range is manufactured with the neutral terminal

connected to the cabinet. Use a 3-wire, UL Listed, 40- or

50-amp power supply cord (pigtail). See the following

Range Rating chart. If local codes do not permit ground

through the neutral, use a 4-wire power supply cord rated

at 250 volts, 40 or 50 amps and investigated for use

withranges.

Range Rating* Specified Rating of

Power Supply Cord Kit

and Circuit Protection

120/240 Volts 120/208 Volts Amps

8.8 - 16.5 KW 7.8 - 12.5 KW 40 or 50**

16.6 - 22.5 KW 12.6 - 18.5 KW 50

* The NEC calculated load is less than the total connected

load listed on the model/serial/rating plate.

** If connecting to a 50-amp circuit, use a 50-amp rated cord

with kit. For 50-amp rated cord kits, use kits that specify use

with a nominal 1

" (3.5 cm) diameter connection opening.

■ A circuit breaker is recommended.

■ The range can be connected directly to the circuit breaker

box (or fused disconnect) through exible or nonmetallic

sheathed, copper, or aluminum cable. See the “Electrical

Connection - U.S.A. Only” section.

■ Allow at least 6 ft (1.8 m) of slack in the line so that the

range can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

■ A UL Listed conduit connector must be provided at each

end of the power supply cable (at the range and at the

junction box).

■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating

ofthe range.

■ The tech sheet and wiring diagram are located on the back

of the range in a plastic bag.

If Connecting to a 3-Wire System:

Local codes may permit the use of a UL Listed, 3-wire, 250-

volt, 40- or 50-amp range power supply cord (pigtail). This

cord contains 3 copper conductors with ring terminals or

open-end spade terminals with upturned ends, terminating in a

NEMA Type 10-50P plug on the supply end. Connectors on the

appliance end must be provided at the point the power supply

cord enters the appliance. This uses a 3-wire receptacle of

NEMA Type 10-50R.

If Connecting to a 4-Wire System:

This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the

neutral by a link. The ground must be revised so the green

ground wire of the 4-wire power supply cord is connected

to the cabinet. See the “Electrical Connection - U.S.A. Only”

section.

Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new

branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; and

recreational vehicles, or an area where local codes prohibit

grounding through the neutral conductor.

When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used, a

matching UL Listed, 4-wire, 250-volt, 40- or 50-amp, range

power supply cord (pigtail) must be used. This cord contains

4 copper conductors with ring terminals or open-end spade

terminals with upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type

14-50P plug on the supply end.

The fourth (grounding) conductor must be identied by a green

or green/yellow cover and the neutral conductor by a white

cover. Cord should be Type SRD or SRDT with a UL Listed

strain relief and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long.

The minimum conductor sized for the copper 4-wire power

cord are:

40-amp circuit

2 No.-8 conductors

1 No.-10 white neutral

1 No.-10 green grounding

3-wire receptacle (10-50R)

4-wire receptacle (14-50R)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... 39 40
