Electrical Requirements

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local codes.

Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the oven is properly grounded.

This oven must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system.

Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

Electrical Connection

To properly install your oven, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

• Oven must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating plate. The model/serial number rating plate is located at the bottom of the right-hand mounting rail. See the following illustration.

A. Model/serial number plate

• Models rated from 7.3 to 9.6kW at 240 volts (5.5 to 7.2kW at 208 volts) require a separate 40-amp circuit. Models rated at 7.2kW and below at 240 volts (5.4 kW and below at 208 volts) require a separate 30-amp circuit.
  A circuit breaker is recommended.
• Connect directly to the circuit breaker box (or fused disconnect) through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable (with grounding wire). See "Make Electrical Connection" section.
• Flexible conduit from the oven should be connected directly to the junction box.
• Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for serviceability of the oven.
  A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be provided.

If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:

1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.

2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of copper wire using special connectors and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.

Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
