Electrical Requirements - U.S.A. Only

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine
that the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with
local codes.

Do not use an extension cord.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate

and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association

Quincy, MA 02169-7471

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the
power supply cord plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Electrical Connection

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/rating plate.
The model/serial/rating plate is located behind the oven door
on the top right-hand side of the oven frame.

■ 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 the 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.

Range Rating* Specified Rating of

Power Supply Cord Kit
and Circuit Protection

120/240 Volts 120/208 Volts Amps

8.8 - 16.5 KW 7.8 - 12.5 KW 40 or 50**

16.6 - 22.5 KW 12.6 - 18.5 KW 50

* The NEC calculated load is less than the total connected load
listed on the model/serial/rating plate.

** If connecting to a 50-amp circuit, use a 50-amp rated cord

with kit. For 50-amp rated cord kits, use kits that specify use
with a nominal 1³⁄8" (3.5 cm) diameter connection opening.

■ A circuit breaker is recommended.

■ The range can be connected directly to the circuit breaker

box (or fused disconnect) through flexible or nonmetallic
sheathed, copper or aluminum cable. See the “Electrical
Connection - U.S.A. Only” section.

■ Allow at least 6 ft (1.8 m) of slack in the line so that the range

can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

■ A UL listed conduit connector must be provided at each end

of the power supply cable (at the range and at the junction
box).

■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of

the range.

■ The tech sheet and wiring diagram are located on the back

of the range in a plastic bag.

If Connecting to a 3-Wire System:

Local codes may permit the use of a UL listed, 3-wire, 250­volt, 40- or 50-amp range power supply cord (pigtail). This cord
contains 3 copper conductors with ring terminals or open-end
spade terminals with upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type
10-50P plug on the supply end. Connectors on the appliance
end must be provided at the point the power supply cord enters
the appliance. This uses a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10­50R.

3-wire receptacle (10-50R)

If Connecting to a 4-Wire System:

This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the
neutral by a link. The ground must be revised so the green
ground wire of the 4-wire power supply cord is connected to the
cabinet. See “Electrical Connection - U.S.A. Only” section.

Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new
branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; and
recreational vehicles, or an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor.

When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used, a
matching UL listed, 4-wire, 250-volt, 40- or 50-amp, range
power supply cord (pigtail) must be used. This cord contains
4 copper conductors with ring terminals or open-end spade
terminals with upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 14­50P plug on the supply end.

The fourth (grounding) conductor must be identified by a green
or green/yellow cover and the neutral conductor by a white
cover. Cord should be Type SRD or SRDT with a UL listed strain
relief and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long.

4-wire receptacle (14-50R)

The minimum conductor sized for the copper 4-wire power
cord are:

40-amp circuit
2 No.-8 conductors
1 No.-10 white neutral
1 No.-10 green grounding
