Electrical Connection
To properly install your oven, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.
Direct Wire
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
[Electrical Hazard] Disconnect power before servicing.
Improper connection of aluminum house wiring and copper appliance leads can result in an electrical hazard or fire. If the home has aluminum wiring, only use connectors designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum and precisely follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure. Aluminum-to-Copper connections must conform with local codes.
For Single Oven, use 10 gauge copper or aluminum wire.
For Double Oven, use 8 gauge copper or aluminum wire.
Electrically ground oven.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical shock.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician or an authorized repair service.
This oven is manufactured with a neutral (white) power supply wire and a cabinet-connected green (or bare) ground wire twisted together.
After making sure that the power has been turned off, connect the flexible conduit from the oven to the junction box using a UL listed conduit connector. The Grounded Neutral and Ungrounded Neutral Graphics on the following pages and the instructions provided, present the most common way of connecting ovens. Your local codes and ordinances, of course, take precedence over these instructions. Complete electrical connections according to local codes and ordinances.
- Disconnect power.
- Remove junction box cover.
- Install a UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector to the junction box.
- Route the flexible electrical supply conduit from the oven to the junction box through a UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector.
- Tighten screws on conduit connector.

3-Wire Connection (Grounded Neutral) - U.S.A. ONLY
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; and recreational vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. For installations where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited, see the Ungrounded Neutral graphic.
Use grounding terminal or lead to ground unit.
Connect neutral terminal or lead to branch circuit neutral in usual manner.
Failure to do so could result in death, fire or electric shock.
IMPORTANT: Use the 3-wire cable from home power supply where local codes permit a 3-wire connection.
- Disconnect power.
- Connect the two black wires (B) together using a UL listed wire connector.
- Connect the two neutral (white) wires (C) and the ground (green or bare) wire (D) (of the oven cable) using a UL listed wire connector.
