Electrical Requirements

This appliance must be installed and grounded on a branch circuit by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70 - latest edition.

All wiring should conform to local and NEC codes. This range requires a single-phase, 3 wire, AC 120/208 V or 120/240 V 60 Hz electrical system. Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL - listed range cord with closed-loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with upturned ends or similar termination. Do not install the power cord without a strain relief.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 120/240 V minimum range is required.

If a 50 amp range cord is used, it should be marked for use with 1 3/8" diameter connection openings. This appliance may be connected by means of a conduit or power cord. If a conduit is being used, refer to "3-Wire Connection: Conduit" or "4-Wire Connection: Conduit" sections.

Warning

  • Allow 2 to 3 ft (61.0 cm to 91.4 cm) of slack in the line so that the range can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

  • The power supply cord and plug should not be modified. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

  • Using an extension cord to connect the power is prohibited. Connect the power cord and plug directly.

  • Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

  • Make sure that the power cord is not pinched by the range or heavy objects. Failure to do so can result in serious burns or electrical shock.
