Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT: Remove all packing material and

literature from the oven before connecting any

electrical supplies.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

1. De-energize oven branch circuit.

2. With oven in front of cabinet opening, connect

flexible power cable to the junction box in such

a manner that it will hang down in a natural loop

against the left side of the back wall when the

oven is installed. Do not shorten this flexible

power cable. The flexible conduit connector must

be securely attached to the junction box and the

flexible conduit must be securely attached to the

connector. If the flexible conduit will not fit within

the connector, do not install the oven until a

connector of the proper size is obtained.

All new construction, mobile homes, recreational

vehicles and installations where local codes do

not allow grounding through neutral require a four-

conductor branch circuit. For existing construction, a

three-conductor branch circuit connection may be used.

NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR

CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT

CONNECTION

• When installing in a new construction, or

• When installing oven in a mobile home or

recreational vehicle, or

• When local codes do not permit grounding through

neutral:

NOTE: If residence leads or ground are aluminum

conductors, see WARNING note.

When connecting to a four-conductor branch circuit, if

local codes permit:

1. Free the neutral

(white) lead from being

restrained to any other

wires. If necessary,

cut the neutral (white)

lead and then re-strip

it to expose the proper

length of conductor.

2. Attach the appliance

grounding lead (green or

bare copper) in accordance with local codes.

3. Connect the oven neutral (white) lead to the

branch circuit neutral (white or gray) in accordance

with local codes, using a wire nut.

NOTE: If using a GFI breaker, the ground wire

must be installed correctly to prevent breaker from

tripping. Refer to latest edition of the NEC, NFPA

No. 70, available from the National Fire Protection

Association.

CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT

CONNECTION (Cont.)

4. Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit

red lead, and the oven black lead to the branch

circuit black lead in accordance with local codes,

using wire nuts.

5. Install proper strain relief clamp.

6. Install junction box cover.

THREE CONDUCTOR BRANCH

CIRCUIT CONNECTION

NOTE: If residence leads are aluminum conductors,

see WARNING note.

When connecting to a three-conductor branch circuit,

if local codes permit:

1. Connect the oven

ground conductor

along with the

neutral (white) lead

to the branch circuit

neutral (white or

gray in color), using

a wire nut.

2. Connect the oven

red lead to the

branch circuit red lead, and the oven black lead

to the branch circuit black lead in accordance with

local codes, using wire nuts.

3. Install proper strain relief clamp.

4. Install junction box cover.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The three power leads

supplied with this appliance are U.L. recognized for

connection to larger gauge household wiring. The

insulation of these three leads is rated at temperatures

much higher than the temperature rating of household

wiring. The current carrying capacity of a conductor is

governed by the temperature rating of the insulation

around the wire rather than the wire gauge alone.

WARNING

Improper connection of aluminum

house wiring to these copper leads can result in

an electrical hazard or fire. Use only connectors

designed for joining copper to aluminum and follow

the manufacturer’s recommended procedure closely.
