IMPORTANT: Remove all packing material and literature from STOP! the oven before connecting any electrical supplies. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 1. De-energize oven branch circuit. 2. With oven in front of cabinet opening, connect flexible power cable to the junction box in such a manner that it will hang down in a natural loop against the left side of the back wall when the oven is installed. Do not shorten this flexible power cable. The flexible conduit connector must be securely attached to the junction box and the flexible conduit must be securely attached to the connector. If the flexible conduit will not fit within the connector, do not install the oven until a connector of the proper size is obtained. All new construction, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and installations where local codes do not allow grounding through neutral require a fourconductor branch circuit. For existing construction, a three-conductor branch circuit connection may be used. NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The three power leads supplied with this appliance are U.L. recognized for connection to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of these three leads is rated at temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of household wiring. The current carrying capacity of a conductor is governed by the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire rather than the wire gauge alone. THREE CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION • When connecting to a 3-conductor branch circuit, if local codes permit, connect the oven bare conductor with the crimped neutral (white) lead to the branch circuit neutral (white or gray in color), the oven red lead to the branch circuit red lead and the oven black lead to the branch circuit black lead in accordance with local codes. WARNING: Improper connection of aluminum STOP! house wiring to these copper leads can result in an electrical hazard or fire. Use only connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure closely. • When installing in a new construction, or • When installing oven in a mobile home or recreational vehicle, or • When local codes do not permit grounding through neutral: 1. Cut the neutral (white) lead from the crimp. Restrip the neutral (white) lead to expose the proper length of conductor. 2. Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or bare copper) to the residence grounding conductor (green or bare) in accordance with local codes. If the residence grounding conductor is aluminum, see WARNING note. 3. Connect the oven neutral (white) lead to the branch circuit neutral (white or gray) in accordance with local codes. 4. Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red lead and the oven black lead to the branch circuit black lead in accordance with local codes. If the residence red and black or white leads are aluminum conductors, see WARNING note. 3
