Double Oven Power Requirements | Homesteady
Electric ranges do not ship with a power cord, as your home may require one of four power configurations. Some homes have an appliance outlet preinstalled, which requires you to install a power cord on the range. Other homes provide a conduit cable that hardwires your oven to the home's electrical system. Depending on the building codes in place at the time of your home's construction, your oven may require either a three- or four-pronged power cable, or a three- or four-wire conduit cable. The difference in the two is the method used to ground the appliance. New building codes require a dedicated ground, resulting in a fourth wire or prong, while older codes allow for grounding of the appliance using the white or neutral wire.
