5, Prepare Electrical Connection
Ranges are dual rated for use on either 120/240 VAC or
120/208 VAC. See chart below for power ratings and
circuit breaker sizes based on the supply voltage for
each model,

CAUTION:
Make certain that gas shutoff valve and all burner

Verify that wiring to house is adequate,
Contact your local utility company to verifythat the present
electric service to your home is adequate. In some
instances, the size of the wiring to the house and service
switch must be increased to handle the electrical load
demanded by the range.
Verify that wiring inside house is adequate,
Most wiring codes require a separate circuit with separate
disconnect switch and fuses either in the main entrance
panel or in a separate switch and fuse box.
The range requires a three wire 120/240 or 120/208 volt,
30 AMP, 60 Hz AC circuit.
Most local building regulations and codes require that
electrical wiring be done by licensed electricians. Be sure
to install your range according to the electric codes in
place in your region.

To prevent electrical shock,
grounding
the
prong on the range cord should
not be cut or
removed under any circumstances,
It must be
plugged into a matching grounding type receptacle and
connected to a correctly polarized 240- Volt circuit. If
there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is
properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified
electrician,
General Information
Bosch recommends that the range be installed with a
power cord set (not supplied)*. The electrical rating of the
power cord set must be 120/240 volt, 30 amperes
minimum. The power cord set shall be marked "For Use
with Ranges." Always use a new power cord.
Note: In Canada, the range is shipped from the factory
with the range cord already installed. Proceed to "Step 7:
Installation - Connect the GasSupply)
For installations other than those in Canada, connect the
range cord at the terminal block (See next page for
detailed instructions). Accessthe terminal block by
removing the cover in the lower right hand corner of the
range back panel (See Figure 4). Install the strain relief
(see next column) and the proper connector through the
knockout(s) provided. The electrical supply, including
flexible conduit or power cord, should be restricted to the
shaded areas in Figure 2 (previous page)
* Not needed for Canadian installations

Strain Relief
Place strain relief in knockout below terminal block (See
Figure 4). Feed range cord through hole and strain relief
up to terminal block. Allow for slack in the cord between
the strain relief and terminal block. Once cord length/
slack has been adjusted, attach strain relief per
instructions included with strain relief.

WARNING
risk of Electric
Shock or Fire.
Frame grounded
to neutral
through
a ground strap. 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,
(a) disconnect
the link from the neutral,
(b) use grounding
terminal
or lead to ground unit, (c) connect
neutral terminal
to lead branch circuit neutral in usual manner
(when the appliance
is to be connected
by means of a cord kit,
use 4-conductor
cord for this purpose).
Use only cord kits rated 125/250 volts (minimum),
30 amperes
and labeled "For Use with Ranges". Strain relief provided with
cord must be installed per instructions
included with cord.
