Topics:

• Does the Convection Steam Oven (CSO) electrical have to be in a cabinet to the right or left of the unit?
• Can the CSO electrical outlet be in a cabinet above or below the CSO?
• Why must the electrical supply be placed in an adjacent cabinet and not directly behind the CSO?
• Does the CSO use a power cord, or is it hardwired?
• What type of power cord does the CSO use?

Answer:

Current CSO (CSO2450, CSO3050)

• The CSO is supplied with a conduit consisting of two hot lead conductors and a ground conductor.
• The wiring diagram covering the control circuit is provided with the oven.
• For ease of installation, the electrical supply for the oven should be placed in an adjacent cabinet within reach of the conduit.
• Running the unit on a 208 V electrical supply can lead to performance issues such as longer preheat times.
• Refer to the Convection Steam Oven Installation Guide for further information.

Legacy CSO (Touch Control) and Legacy CSO (Knob Control)

• The plug on the Legacy CSO power cord is a 6' NEMA 6-20R grounding-type plug that extends from the electrical outlet approximately 3".
• The Legacy CSO comes with the power cord already installed.
• Grounded indicates earth ground and no neutral wire required.
• The electrical supply connects on the lower right-hand side when looking at the back of the unit.
• Wolf does not suggest hardwiring the Legacy Convection Steam Oven.
• Running the unit on a 208 V electrical supply can lead to performance issues such as longer preheat times.
• To minimize shock hazard, the power cord must be plugged into a grounding-type receptacle, grounded to conform with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 latest edition, or Canadian Electrical Code (CSA) and all local codes and ordinances. Refer to the illustrations below.

Refer to the model-specific installation guide for further information:

• Legacy Convection Steam Oven (Touch Control) Installation Guide
  
• Legacy Convection Steam Oven (Knob Control) Installation Guide

Note: The electrical requirements for the Legacy Convection Steam Oven (Knob Control) differ from the Legacy CSO models with touch controls:

• The electrical outlet for a Legacy CSO (knob control) must be within 3' of the right, left, top, or bottom of the unit cavity opening.
• Legacy CSO (knob control) - Depending on cabinet depth and installation type, the power cord plug may prevent the unit from being installed properly because it cannot be pushed into the cabinet fully.
• Unless the cabinets are deeper than 24" (standard installation) or 25" (flush inset installation), the electrical supply for the Legacy Convection Steam Oven (knob control) must be in an adjacent cabinet within 6' of the unit.
• The electrical supply can be in an adjacent cabinet, as long as it is in a separate opening from the CSO.
