electrical supply is available, a 20 ampere maximum circuit protection is required. A time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker is recommended. The ID Plates are visibly located on the back of the appliance and
on the oven door frame.
- Wire size and connections must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANS/
NFPA 70 ELECTRICAL CODE (*) – last edition or CSA Standard C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical
