if codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path and wire gauge are in

accordance with local codes.

This range must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure range is properly grounded.

Do Not ground to a gas pipe. Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or

Recommended ground method

it isthe personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in

conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -- latest edition _

and all local codes and ordinances. Power supply cord is not supplied, but is

available through your local electrical supply house.

Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as specified on the model/serial rating plate. (The model/serial rating plate is located on the oven frame behind the storage drawer panel.)

[_ A four-wire or three-wire, single- phase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz,AC-only,

electrical supply (or three-wire or four- wire 120/208-volt if specified on the

model/serial rating plate} is required on a separate, 40 amp circuit, fused on both

sides of the line. [_ A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended. _j The range can be connected directly

to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker

boxt through flexible armored conduit. See "Direct wire method: Copper wire" or

"Direct wire method: Aluminum wire" sections.

Allow two to three feet of slack in the line so that it can be moved if servicing is

ever necessary. A U.L.qisted 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 back of the range or on the inside of the storage drawer in a clear plastic bag.

If connecting to a four-wire system:

This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the cabinet.The ground must be revised so the green grounding wire of the four-wire power

supply cord is connected to the cabinet. See "Four-wire electrical connection/'

section, Page 6. When a four-wire receptacle of NEMA

Type 14-50R is used (see Figure 1), a matching U.L-listed, four-wire, 250-volt, 40 amp, range power supply cord (pigtail) must be used.This cord contains four copper conductors with ring terminals at the appliance end,

terminating in a NEMAType 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 beType SRD

or SRDT with a U.L.-listed strain relief and be at bast four feet long.

The minimum conductor sizes for the copper four-wire power cord are:

40 amp circuit 2 No.-8 conductors

1 No.q0 white neutral 1 No.-8 green grounding

mfconnecting to a three-wire system:

Local codes may permit the use of a U_L-listed, 250°volt, 40 amp range power supply cord (pigtail}.This cord contains three, No.q0 copper wires and matches a three-wire receptacle of NEMAType 10-50R,shown in Figure 2. Connectors on the appliance end must be provided at the point the power supply cord enters the appliance.
