CONNECTING THE RANGE

ELECTRIC SUPPLY

The range must be installed in accordance with Local and
National Electric Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest
edition. See rating plate for total connected KW rating.

ELECTRIC SUPPLY (Canada)

The range must be installed in accordance with Local and
Canadian Electric Code CSA STD.C22.1 latest edition.
See rating plate for total connected KW rating.

OUTSIDE WIRING

Your local utility company will tell you whether the present
electric service to your home is adequate. It may be
necessary to increase the size of the wiring to the house
and service switch to take care of the electrical load
demanded by the range. The kilowatt rating for the range
is specified on the rating plate located on the front of the
range.

HOUSE WIRING

Most local Building Regulations and Codes require that all
electrical wiring be done by licensed electricians. All
wiring should conform to Local and National Electrical
Codes. This range requires a single phase three wire
120/240 or a 120/208 volt, 60 Hz, AC circuit. Wiring codes
require a separate circuit be run from the main entrance
panel to the range and that it be equipped with separate
disconnect switch and fuses, either in the main entrance
panel or in a separate switch and fuse box. In some
communities, a solid or flexible continuous armored
conduit must be used from main entrance panel to the
terminal box on the rear of the range. Others will permit
the termination of the range circuit at a polarized three or
four wire plug-in outlet placed at a convenient point near
the back of the range. The range is then connected to this
outlet through an approved range connector (pigtail)
fastened securely to the terminal block with proper strain
relief at the range and a three or four pronged plug at the
opposite end.

RANGE CONNECTIONS

Some models are shipped direct from the factory with
service cords (pigtails) attached. There are no range
connections necessary on these models. Just plug into
the range outlet. On models not provided with a service
cord, connection to the power supply is necessary.
REMEMBER - only a 4-conductor cord is to be used on
new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile
homes, recreational vehicles, or in an area where local
codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor.
Hence, 4-wire service MUST be provided for such
installations. 3-wire service may be used when permitted
by local code. USE COPPER OR ALUMINUM
CONDUCTORS. Main terminal block is recognized for
Copper or Aluminum conductors. If a flexible power cord
is required, it is recommended a cord no longer than 4 ft.
be used. Make connections as explained below and with
reference to the appropriate illustration (see figures 8 and

9). After installation, insure tightness of all electrical
connections and replace all covers.

Remove terminal block access cover from range back.
(See figure 7).

RANGE CONNECTIONS (Canada)

This model was shipped direct from the factory with
service cord (pigtail) attached. There are no range
connections necessary. Just plug into the range outlet.
See figure 2 on page 3 for outlet location.

NOTE: Cord replacement - ONLY a power supply cord
rated at 240 volts minimum, 40 amperes or 50 amperes
power supply cord that is marked for use with nominal
13/8² (34.93 mm) diameter connection opening, with
