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.- The 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 a 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
16.6 – 22.5 KW| 7.8 – 12.5 KW
12.6 – 18.5 KW| 40 or 50**
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 the 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 the “Electrical Connection – U.S.A.
Only” section.
Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit
installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; 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. The cord should be Type SRD
or SRDT with UL-listed strain relief and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long.
4-wire receptacle (14-50R)
The minimum conductor size for the copper 4-wire power cord is:
40-amp circuit
2 No.-8 conductors
1 No.-10 white neutral
1 No.-10 green grounding
