Install a suitable conduit box (not included). The conduit connector must be used to correctly attach the conduit to the junction box.

All 4 wires must be connected, regardless if a 3 or 4 wire connection is used.

WARNING

Local codes may vary; installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all applicable local codes.

If local codes permit grounding through the electrical supply neutral, connect both the white neutral wire and the green ground wire from the oven to the neutral electrical supply wire.

The four-wire connection is preferred, but where local codes permit, the three wire connection is also acceptable.

• Connect the green ground oven wire to the bare or green ground electrical supply wire.

Three-wire Connection

Grounded Neutral

power supply junction box red wires white, bare or green wire white wire green wire black wires cable from oven

• Connect red wire from oven to red wire in junction box.
• Connect black wire from oven to black wire in junction box.
• Connect both green ground wire and white wire from oven to white, green or bare neutral wire in junction box.

The conduit cable, where connected at the oven, swivels.

To maintain serviceability, the flex conduit must not be shortened and should be routed to permit temporary removal of the oven.
