connocUons approved for use with aluminum wiring
must be used.
TO MAKE 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. It the
flexible conduit will not fit within the
connector, do not install the oven until a
connecter of the proper size is obtained.
• When connecting to a 3-conductor branch
circuit, N local codes permit, connect the bare
oven 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.
SPECIAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
When connecting to s 4-conductor branch circuit;
When Installing oven In a mobile home;
When local codes do not permit grounding through
neutral:
1.
2.
Cut the neutral (white) lead from the crimp. Re.strip
the neutral (white) lead to expose the proper length of
