Electrical:
To properly install your range, you must determine the type
of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
●
Range 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 behind the control panel or on the oven
frame behind the storage drawer or warming drawer panel. Refer to the
figures in the “Product Dimensions” section of the “Location
Requirements” section.
●
This range is manufactured with the neutral terminal connected to the
cabinet. Use a 3-wire, UL listed, 40- or 50-amp power supply cord
(pigtail) (see following Range Rating chart). If local codes do not permit
ground through the neutral, use a 4-wire power supply cord rated at
250 volts, 40 or 50 amps and investigated for use with ranges.
