USA fast heating oven, 240 V
The 240 V fast heating oven requires 240 V/15 A power. Do not use 208 V power. Lower
voltage causes slow oven ramps and prevents proper temperature control. The power cord
supplied with your GC is rated for 250 V/15 A, and is a two-pole, three-wire cord with grounding
(type L6-15R/L6-15P).
Canadian installation
When installing a GC in Canada, make sure your GC power supply circuit meets the following
additional requirements:
• The circuit breaker for the branch circuit, which is dedicated to the instrument, is rated for
continuous operation.
• The service box branch circuit is marked as a “Dedicated Circuit.”
