Direct Breaker, EJectrical Fuse Connection Box or Junction to the Box Circuit You may not ground the oven If the appliance is connected directly to the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box, use flexible, armored or non metallic sheathed copper cable (with grounding wire). Supply a U.L listed strain-relief at each end of the cable. At the appliance end, the cable goes through the Direct Connection Hole (see Figure 4) on the Cord Mounting Plate. Wire sizes (copper wire only) and connections must conform to the rating of the appliance. Where local codes permit connecting the appJiance cable ground wire to the power suppJy cable neutral (white) wire (see Figure 5). I. Disconnect the power supply. 2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box: Connect appliance and power supply cable wires as shown in figure 5. Cable from Power Supply White Wire (Neutral) RedWires through the neutral (white) wire if oven is used in a new branch circuit instaJlation (1996 NEC), mobiJe home, recreational vehicle, or where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral (white) wire. When grounding through the neutral (white) wire is prohibited, you must use a 4-wire power supply cable. See Figure 6. Failure to heed this warning may resuJt in eJectrocution or other serious personaJ injury. if oven is used in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where local codes DO NOT permit connecting the appliance cabJe ground wire to the power supply cable neutral (white) wire you must use a 4 wire power supply cable (see figure 6): 1. Disconnect the power supply. 2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box: Connect appliance and power supply cable wires as shown in figure 6. Cable from Power Supply Wires 1 Ground Wire White Wire Box White Wire (Neutral) Ground Wire (Bare or Green Wire) U.L-Listed Conduit Connector (or CSA listed) Cable from appliance Ground Wire (Bare or Green Wire) _White Wire Figure 5 3-WIRE GROUNDED JUNCTION BOX improper connection of aluminum Junction Box house wiring to copper leads can result in a short circuit or fire. Use onJy connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum, and follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure closely. U.L-Listed Conduit Connector (or CSA listed) Cable from appliance Figure 6 4-WIRE GROUNDED JUNCTION BOX DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe. DO NOT connect to electrical power supply until appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the ground wire before turning on the power (Figure 6). NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads supplied with the appliance are UL-recognized for connection to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much higher than temperature rating of household wiring. The current carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire, rather than the wire gauge alone.
