WARNING: All new constructions, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and installations where local codes do not allow grounding through neutral require a 4-conductor, UL-listed range cord. WARNING: To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance. WARNING: To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before begin- ning installation. 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 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 oven must be wired and fused to meet the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70 - latest edition, available from the National Fire Protection Association. This appliance must be supplied with proper voltage and frequency and connected to an individ- ual, properly grounded, 40 amp (minimum) branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
