REQUIRED GROUNDING METHOD – RDU MODELS
This appliance is factory equipped with a power supply cord with a four-prong grounding plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding, type receptacle, connected to a correctly polarized 120/240 volt circuit. If
the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the installer to
have the existing receptacle changed to a properly grounded and polarized receptacle in accordance with all
applicable local codes and ordinances by a qualified electrician. In the absence of local codes and ordinances,
the receptacle replacement shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
Note:
The fourth prong (round grounding pin) should not, under any circumstances,
be cut or removed.
WARNING!
The range is equipped for use with an electrical supply which uses a separate
grounding conductor (4 wire system). If this range must be connected
to an electrical system which utilizes a single conductor for ground and
neutral (3 wire system), the grounding jumper at the terminal block must be
connected. The grounding jumper is located behind the front kickpanel.
To connect grounding jumper:
■ Disconnect restraining clip holding jumper.
■ Connect green jumper to open terminal on neutral (white) portion of the terminal block (Fig. 16).
