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"; ﬂ exible 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 ﬁ gure 4. If a larger hole is required, punch out the knockout.

Risk of ﬁ re 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.

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.
