Quincy, MA 02269
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the
power supply cord plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Electrical Connection
To properly install your range, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
■ Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage
and frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating
plate. The model/serial number rating plate is located on the
oven frame behind the storage drawer panel. Refer to the
figures in the “Product Dimensions” section of the “Location
Requirements” section.
■ This range is manufactured with the neutral terminal
connected to the cabinet. Use a 3-wire UL listed, 40- or 50amp power supply cord (pigtail) (see Range Rating chart
below). If local codes do not permit ground through the
neutral, use a 4-wire power supply cord rated at 250 volts,
40 or 50 amps and investigated for use with ranges.
Range Rating* Specified Rating of
Power Supply Cord Kit
and Circuit Protection
120/240 Volts 120/208 Volts Amps
■ A UL listed conduit connector must be provided at each end
of the power supply cable (at the range and at the junction
box).
■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the range (40 amps).
■ The wiring diagram is located on the underside of the storage
drawer or below the warming drawer in a clear plastic bag.
If connecting to a 4-wire system:
This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the
cabinet. The ground must be revised so the green ground wire of
the 4-wire power supply cord is connected to the cabinet. See
“Electrical Connection.”
Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new
branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; and
recreational vehicles, or an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor.
When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used, a
matching UL listed, 4-wire, 250-volt, 40-amp, range power
supply cord (pigtail) must be used. This cord contains 4 copper
conductors with ring terminals or open-end spade terminals with
upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 14-50R plug on the
supply end.
The fourth (grounding) conductor must be identified by a green or
green/yellow cover and the neutral conductor by a white cover.
Cord should be Type SRD or SRDT with a UL listed strain relief
and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long.
4-wire receptacle (14-50R)
The minimum conductor sized for the copper 4-wire power
cord are:
40-amp circuit
2 No.-8 conductors
1 No.-10 white neutral
1 No.-8 green grounding

*The NEC calculated load is less than the total connected load
listed on the model/serial rating plate.
**If connecting to a 50-amp circuit, use a 50-amp rated cord with
kit. For 50-amp rated cord kits, use kits that specify use with a
nominal 1³⁄₈" (34.93 mm) diameter connection opening.
■ A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
■ The range can be connected directly to the fused disconnect
(or circuit breaker box) through flexible or nonmetallic
sheathed, copper or aluminum cable. See “Electrical
Connection.”
■ Allow 2 to 3 ft (61.0 cm to 91.4 cm) of slack in the line so that
the range can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

If connecting to a 3-wire system:
Local codes may permit the use of a UL listed, 3-wire,
250-volt, 40 or 50-amp range power supply cord (pigtail). This
cord contains 3 copper conductors with ring terminals or openend spade terminals with upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA
Type 10-50P plug on the supply end. Connectors on the
appliance end must be provided at the point the power supply
cord enters the appliance. This uses a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA
Type 10-50R.
