4. Electrical Connection Requirements
This appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with
the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70--latest
edition--and local electrical code requirements.
This appliance may be connected by means of
permanent "Hard Wiring" or "Power Supply Cord Kit."
When hard wiring, do not leave excess wire in range
compartment. Excess wire in the range compartment
may not allow the access cover to be replaced
properly, and could create a potential electrical hazard
if wires become pinched. When using flexible conduit
or range cable, use flex connector or range cable strain
relief.
NOTE: Only use copper wire in connection to terminal
block.
4.1 Models Requiring Power Supply Cord Kit
The user is responsible for connecting the power supply cord
to the connection block located behind the back panel access
cover.
This appliance may be connected by means of permanent
"hard wiring"; flexible armored or nonmetallic shielded copper
cable (when local code allow it) or by means of a power supply
cord kit.
NOTE: Electric Slide-in Range is shipped from factory with 1
1/8" (2.9 cm) dia. hole as shown on figure 4. If a larger hole is
required, punch out the knockout.
Risk of fire or electrical shock exists if
an incorrect size range cord kit is used, the Installation
Instructions are not followed, or the strain relief bracket
is discarded.
For mobile homes, new installations or recreational vehicles,
use only a power supply kit designed for a range at 125V/250V
50A recommended (minimum 40A). Cord must have either
3 (when local code permits grounding through neutral) or 4
conductors. Terminal on end of wires must be either closed
loop or open spade lug with upturned ends. Cord must have
strain-relief clamp. If a 50A circuit is used, a 50A power cord
must be used.
Do not loosen the nuts which secure the
factory-installed range wiring to terminal block while
connecting range. Electrical failure or loss of electrical
connection may occur.
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Electricalgroundisrequiredonthisappliance.
• Donotconnecttotheelectricalsupplyuntil
appliance is permanently grounded.
• Disconnectpowertothecircuitbreakerorfusebox
before making the electrical connection.
• Thisappliancemustbeconnectedtoagrounded,
metallic, permanent wiring system, or a grounding
connector should be connected to the grounding
terminal or wire lead on the appliance.
Failure to do any of the above could result in a fire,
personal injury or electrical shock.
Figure 2 – 3-Wire Cord Kit
This appliance is manufactured with
the frame grounded by connection of a grounding
strap between the neutral power supply terminal
and the frame. If used in USA, in a new branch circuit
installation (1996 NEC), mobile home or recreational
vehicule, where local code do not permit grounding
through neutral (white) wire or in Canada; remove the
grounding strap from the frame and cut the other end,
near the neutral terminal. Connect the appliance in
usual manner.

Three Conductor Wire Connection to Range
If local codes permit connection of the frame grounding
conductor to the neutral wire of the copper power supply cord
(see Figure 3):
1. Remove the screws from the access plate at the lower right
end of the rear cover to expose range terminal connection
block.
2. Using the nuts supplied in the literature package, connect
the neutral of the copper power supply cord to the center
silver-colored terminal of the terminal block, and connect
the other wires to the outer terminals. Match wires and
terminals by color (red wires connected to the right
terminal, black wires connected to the left terminal) (see
figure 3).
3. Replace the terminal cover and replace the screws.

supply cord (see Figure 4):
1. Remove the screws from the access plate at the lower right
end of the rear cover to expose range terminal connection
block.
2. Remove the grounding strap from the terminal block and
from the appliance frame.
3. Using the nuts supplied with the literature package,
connect the ground wire (green) of the copper power
supply cord to the frame of the appliance with the ground
screw, using the hole in the frame where the ground strap
was removed (see Figure 4).
4. Connect the neutral of the copper power supply cord to
the center silver-colored terminal of the terminal block,
and connect the other wires to the outer terminals. Match
wires and terminals by color (red wires connected to the
right terminal, black wires connected to the left terminal).

Direct Electrical Connection to the Circuit
Breaker, Fuse Box or Junction Box
If the appliance is connected directly to the circuit breaker,
fuse box or junction box, use flexible, armored or nonmetallic
sheathed copper cable (with grounding wire). Supply a U.L.
listed strain-relief at each end of the cable. At the appliance
end, the cable goes through the Direct Connection Hole (see
Figure 4) on the Cord Mounting Plate. Wire sizes (copper
wire only) and connections must conform to the rating of the
appliance.
Where local codes permit connecting the appliancegrounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire (see
Figure 5):
1. Be sure that no power is supplied on the cable from
residence.
2. Follow instructions on previous page for Four Conductor
Wire Connection to Range (Fig. 4).
3. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box (Fig. 5):
a) Connect the green (or bare copper) wire, the white
appliance cable wire, and the neutral (white) wire together.
b) Connect the 2 black wires together.
c) Connect the 2 red wires together.
