I'm looking into a Jenair Dual Fuel/Dual Oven Range (JDR8895A). Though when we ran the Electrical we just figured on a regular oven and used a #10 and a 30Amp Breaker.
I've tried asking Jenair/Maytag Customer Service how many amps it draws and they said it would work if I had 120/240v 50Hz. Even though the Web Form I filled out said I was in the US.
Thanks, Scott
contact the place where you are purchasing the oven from and get the amperage
Or you could probably look it up on-line at the manufacturer's web site.
Why did you install #10 and a 30 amp breaker, this is used for a dryer? Regular ovens need #8 cable and 40 amp breakers, my double oven (an older JenAir that we just removed) used a #8 cable and a 50 amp breaker. You really need accurate information and not a guess. Your enquiry was probably answered by an Indian Call Center and don't know anything about electrical requirements.
Took me 5 minutes to check it out ----- 120/240 volts, 40 amps. That will require a #8 cable.
I did find this
This range requires a single phase three wire 120/240 or 120/208 volt,
60Hz AC circuit.They have a lot more information in that pdf, I just didn't find a specific line that states, 20A, 30A, 40A or anything like that. I didn't look through the entire thing though.
These companies seem to use bots that can't read very well. I've often asked questions and gotten unrelated replies before. Last time was with a major satellite TV company.
Was that for the Pigtail Cable requirements? I did find that. They there was nothing in the Manual for the unit that Spec'd 40 Amps for the unit itself.
Where did you get your info?
Yeah, I found that. Pretty much what the Call Center person said, though they said 50 Hz, though it could have been a Typo.
They finally came back and said that 30Amps is fine.
Now to trust the answer?
