An adequate electrical supply and outlet must be usedto
operatethe electricalpartsof your oven. Theovencordhas
a three prong plug and must be used with a properly

groundedthree hole outlet with standard 120volt, 60Hertz

AC household current.
Installthe electrical outlet belowthe ovenon the rightside.

Itshouldbe easily reachedthrough cabinetdoors belowthe

oven. See Figure 5.

The preferred method of electrical hook-up is shown in Fig.

2. Ifyou do not have agrounded (three hole)outlet, havea
qualified electrician change your old outlet or install a new

one.

Agrounding adapter plug maybe usedtoconvert atwo hole
outlet to a three hole outlet until a grounded outlet can be
installed. See Figure 3. This should bedoneonly temporar­ily and only if the two hole outlet is properly polarized and

grounded. Have a qualified electrician test the outlet to be
sure it meets all requirements.

p unplug the oven cord before making any electri-

cal repairs to the oven.

When unplugging the oven,

waysgrasp the plug, never the cord. Never use an

tension cord to connect the oven to the electrical

supply.

Do not under any circumstances cut or
removegroundingprongfromovencord.
Failure to provide proper Polarization

may create a hazardous condition.
