Your local utility company will tell you whether the present
electric service to your home is adequate. It may be
necessary toincrease the sizeof the wiring to the houseand

Most local building regulations and codes require that all
electrical wiring be done by licensed electricians. All wiring
shouldconform to Local and National Electrical Codes. This
unitrequires a singlephase threewire 120/240 or a 120/208
volt, 60 Hz, AC circuit. Wiring codes requirethat a separate

branch circuit. Connect only to a 3-wire, 120/240-volt power
supply; the neutral conductor is not required for the
operationoftheappliance.Thepotential at thepowersupply

“To eliminate the hazard of reaching over heated surface
units, cabinet storage space located above the surface
units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be
provided, the hazard can be reduced by installing a range
hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5-inches
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.”
