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

label. The model/serial number rating label is located on the
bottom right front of the toe kick plate. 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

50-amp power supply cord (pigtail) (see following Range
Rating chart). 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.

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- or 50-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 14-50P 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.

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 open-end
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.

*The NEC calculated load is less than the total connected load

listed on the model/serial number rating label.

**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'' (34.9 mm) diameter connection opening.

• A circuit breaker is recommended.
The range can be connected directly to the circuit breaker box

(or fused disconnect) 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.

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.
