Electrical Requirements  
Countertop Preparation  
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is  
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that  
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local  
codes.  
Front edges:  
You may need to shave or cut the trim of formed or metal front-  
edged countertops to clear the 30" (76.2 cm) width of the  
cooktop.  
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the  
range is properly grounded.  
This range must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent  
wiring system.  
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate  
and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/  
NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian  
Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest edition, and  
all local codes and ordinances.  
If countertop thickness is more than 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) thick:  
Countertop must be notched as shown to avoid damaging the  
oven control panel.  
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

Electrical Connection  
A. Notch width to be equal on both sides  
B. 30¹⁄₈" (76.5 cm) width  
C. 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) max.  
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.  
Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage  
and frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating  
plate. The model/serial number rating plate is located on the  
bottom of the right-hand mounting rail. See the following  
illustration.

Models rated from 12.7 kW at 240 volts (9.5 at 208 volts)  
require a separate 50-amp circuit.  
A circuit breaker is recommended.  
Flexible cable from appliance should be connected directly to  
the junction box.  
Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for  
serviceability of the range.  
A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be  
provided.  
If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure  
below:  
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the ends of the  
flexible conduit leads.  
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of  
copper wire 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.
