Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
oven is properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
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, ANSl/NFPA
70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-1atest edition, and all local

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 on the
oven door or on the oven frame.)
• Models rated from 7.3 to 9.6 kW at 240 volts (5.5 to 7.2 kW
at 208 volts) require a separate 40-amp circuit. Models rated
at 7.2 kW and below at 240 volts (5.4 kW and below at
208 volts) require a separate 30-amp circuit.
• A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
• Connect directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker
box) through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed,
copper cable (with grounding wire). See "Make Electrical
Connection" section.
• Flexible armored cable from appliance should be connected
directly to the junction box.
• Do not cut the conduit. Use the length of conduit provided.
• A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided.
• If the house has aluminum wiring, connect the aluminum
wiring to the copper wire by using special connectors
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.
