  • Oven/s must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as per table below –
  • The rating information for each oven can also be found on the model/serial number rating plate. The model/serial number rating plate is on the right vertical part of the oven frame. See the following illustration.

Single Oven Double Oven

  1. Model/serial number rating plate
  2. Model/serial number rating plate
  3. Upper Oven
  4. Lower Oven

NOTE : The rating plate information is applicable for individual oven. For double oven configuration, refer to the information in the table above.

  • Models rated 4.2 kW and below at 208/240 V require a separate 15-20 A circuit. Models rated 6.3 kW and above at 208/240 V require a separate 40 A circuit.
  • A circuit breaker is recommended.
  • Connect directly to the circuit breaker box (or fused disconnect) through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable (with grounding wire). See “Make Electrical Connection” section.
  • A UL listed or CSA Approved flexible conduit from the oven should be connected directly to the junction box.
  • Fuse both sides of the line.
  • Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for serviceability of the oven.
  • A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be provided.
  • If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure below:
    • Connect the aluminum wiring using special connectors and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
    • Follow the electrical connector manufacturer’s recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
