INSTRUCTION

SHEET.

OUTSIDE

WIRING

Your local utility company will tell you whether

the present

electric

service

to

your

home

is

adequate.

It

may

be

necessary to increase the size of the wiring to the house and

service switch to take care of the electrical

load demanded

by the surface unit and/or oven. The wattage

(K.W. rating)

load for the range is specified on the name plate on the unit.

HOUSE

WIRING

Most

local building

regulations

and codes require

that all

electrical

wiring be done by licensed

electricians.

All wiring

should conform to Local and National Electrical Codes. This

unit requires a single phase three wire 120/240 or a 120/208

volt, 60 Hz, AC circuit. Wiring codes require that a separate

circuit be run from the main entrance

panel to the unit and

that

it be equipped

with

separate

disconnect

switch

and

fuses,

either in the main entrance

panel or in a separate

switch and fuse box.

UNIT

CONNECTIONS

This

unit is supplied

with

a 240/208

volt

wiring

system

consisting

of 2 insulated

conductors

and 1 bare grounding

wire for use on a 3 wire 120/240 or a 120/208 volts, 60 Hz AC

branch circuit. Connect only to a 3-wire, 120/240-volt power

supply;

the

neutral

conductor

is

not

required

for

the

operation of the appliance. The potential at the power supply

electrical

connections

shall be 150-volts-to-ground

or less.

The flexible

armored conduit supplied with the unit must be

connected to an approved

electrical junction box by means

of an approved

conduit to box connector.

THE BARE WIRE IN THE UNIT CONDUIT

IS CONNECTED

TO THE FRAME OF THE UNIT. THE FRAME OF THE UNIT

IS GROUNDED

TO NEUTRAL OF THE BRANCH CIRCUIT

ONLY WHEN THIS BARE WIRE IS CONNECTED

TO THE

NEUTRAL

(WHITE)

WIRE OF THE BRANCH

CIRCUIT.

If

used on new branch-circuit

installations

(1996 NEC), mobile

homes,

recreational

vehicles,

or in an area where

local

codes prohibit grounding

through the neutral conductor,

the

bare wire at the end of the unit conduit

must be used to

ground the unit in accordance

with local code. The red and

black wires must be connected to two conductors

(red and

black) of the branch circuit. The neutral (white) wire of the

branch circuit must be properly insulated. Connect all wires

to the branch circuit with approved connectors.

Use copper

or aluminum wire. If aluminum wire is used, use connectors

recognized

for joining

aluminum

to copper.
