INSTALLATION INFORMATION ELECTRICAL SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD • An electrical ground is required on this appliance. • Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. • If a cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic, nonmetallic gaskets, or other insulating materials, do not use for grounding. • Do not ground to a gas pipe. • Do not use a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. It could result in an electrical shock. • Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or serious injury. GENERAL If codes permit, and a separate grounding wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the grounding path and wire gauge are in accordance with local codes. The following information applies to the builtin electric wall oven wiring: • The oven must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as specified on the model/serial rating plate (located on the oven frame). • Models rated from 7.3 to 9.6 kW at 240-volts, (6.5 to 7.2 kW at 208-volts), require a separate 40-ampere circuit. Models rated at 7.2 kW and below at 240-volts, (5.4 kW and below at 208-volts), require a separate 30ampere circuit. • The oven must be connected with copper wire only. • Wire sizes and connections must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition*, and all local codes and ordinances. Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance. Copies of the standards listed above may be obtained from: * National Fire Protection Association Batterymarch Park Quincy, Massachusetts 02269 • The oven should be connected directly to a time delay fuse or circuit breaker through flexible, armored, or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible, armored cable that extends from the appliance should be connected directly to the junction box. • Fuse both sides of the line. • Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible between the junction box and the appliance so that the appliance can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. Do not cut the conduit. • A U.L.-listed conduit connector must be provided at the junction box. • Wiring diagrams are located in Section 7 of this Job Aid. • A Tech Sheet is located below the top access cover on all models. 2-1
