• A. Model/serial number rating plate

• A. Model/serial number rating plate

• B. Upper Oven

• C. 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.
