Electrical requirements If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local codes. Do Not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the range is properly grounded. Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. This range must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system. A. A four-wire or three-wire, single phase, 240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical supply is required on a separate, 30ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. The fuse size must not exceed the circuit rating of the range specified on the model/serial rating plate located on the horizontal surface below the control panel. B. Wire sizes and connections must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.194, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 - latest edition** and all local codes and ordinances. C. The range should be connected directly to the fused disconnect or circuit breaker box through flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible, armored cable extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker box should be connected directly to the junction box. D. Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible between the junction box and the range so that the range can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. Do Not cut the conduit. E. A U.L.- or CSA-listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the cooktop and at the junction box). F. CONNECTION AT CONNECTION BLOCK MUST BE COPPER WIRE ONLY. If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure below: a) Connect the aluminum wiring to the copper wiring using special connectors designed and Underwriters Laboratories-listed for joining copper to aluminum. Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended procedure. b) Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industryaccepted wiring practices.
