Installation Instructions

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION: For personal safety, do not

use an extension cord with this appli-

ance. Remove house fuse or open cir-

cuit breaker before beginning installa-

tion.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and

hookup of your range connected by a qualiﬁed electri-

cian. After installation, have the electrician show you

where your main range disconnect is located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which

apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according

to governing codes could result in a hazardous condi-

tion. If there are no local codes, your range must be

wired and fused to meet the requirements of the Cana-

dian Electrical Code, Part 1 Latest Edition.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper volt-

age and frequency, and connected to an individual

properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a cir-

cuit breaker or fuse having an amperage as speciﬁed

on the rating plate. The rating plate is located under

the cooktop, underneath control panel or in the front

frame. (See below pictures).

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code

requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-

conductor connection to an electric range.
When installing an electric range in new construction,

follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wire connection.

You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt

or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If you con-

nect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors

approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.
If the electrical service provided does not meet the

above speciﬁcations, have a licensed electrician install

an approved outlet.

NOTE:

Use of automatic, wireless, or wired external

switches that shut off power to the appliance, are not

recommended for this product.
