[_ A four-wire or three-wire, single-

phase, 120/240wolt, 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

box} through flexible, armored or non-
metallic sheathed, copper or aluminum

cable. 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.-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

back of the range or on the inside of the

storage drawer in a clear plastic bag.

ff 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 "FouFwire electrical connection;'

section, Page 6.

When a fouFwire receptacle of NEMA
Type 14-50Ris 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 14-5@

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 least four feet long.

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

40 amp circuit

2 No.-8 conductors

1 No.-10 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.-10 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.
