or 4B. POWER CORD CONNECTIONS
(3-Wire Connection Instructions. For existing installations ONLY
- Refer to Fig. 13).
1. Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions supplied with the
strain relief and install (Also see Figs. 9, 10 & 11 ).
2. Insert the end connectors for Line 1, Line 2 and Neutral and tighten
securely to the terminal block (See Fig. 13).
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT LOOSEN the factory installed nut
connections which secure the range wiring to the terminal block.
Electrical failure or loss of electrical connection may occur if these 3
nuts are loosened or removed.
3. Make sure all connections are tightened securely and replace the rear
access cover (See Fig. 9).
Grounding Instructions (3-Wire Connections only): A ground
strap is installed on this range which connects the center terminal of the
terminal block (Neutral) to the range chassis. The ground strap is
connected to the range by the center, lowest screw (See Fig. 13). The
ground strap must not be removed unless National, State or Local
Codes do not permit use of a ground strap.
NOTE: If the ground strap is removed for any reason, a separate
ground wire must be connected to the separate ground screw attached
to the range chassis and to an adequate ground source.
4c. 3 & 4-WIRE PERMANENT WIRE CONNECTIONS.
3 - Wire Permanent Connection - follow Steps 1,2 & 5 below.
4 -Wire Permanent Connection -follow Steps 1 thru 5 below.
Before wiring the range, review the suggested power source location
drawings in Fig. 3. If connecting to a 4-Wire electrical system (new branch-
circuit or mobile home requires 4-Wire connection):
1. (3 & 4- Wire Permanent Connections) Follow the manufacturer's
installation instructions supplied with the strain relief and install.
2. (3 & 4 - Wire Permanent Connections) Strip insulation away from the
ends of the permanent wiring for Line 1, Line 2, Neutral (also strip ground
wire on 4-Wire Connections). Tighten all 3 wire leads to the terminal
block (Follow wire locations shown in Fig. 14).
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT LOOSEN the factory installed nut
connections which secure the range wiring to the terminal block.
Electrical failure or loss of electrical connection may occur if these 3
nuts are loosened or removed. NOTE: For 3-Wire Permanent
Connections skip Steps 3 & 4 and continue with Step 5.
3. (4-Wire Permanent Connection ONLY) Disconnect the ground strap.
Remove the factory installed ground screw & plate to release the
factory installed copper ground strap from frame of the appliance.
Cut and discard the copper strap from the terminal block. KEEP the
ground screw, ground plate and go to Step 4.
4. (4-Wire Permanent Connection ONLY) Connect the ground wire lead
(Green) to the frame of the appliance using the ground screw & plate as
shown in Fig. 15. Be sure to install using the same hole in the frame
where the ground screw was originally installed.
5. (3 & 4 - Wire Permanent Connections) Make sure all connections are
tightened securely and replace the rear access cover (See Fig. 9).
NOTE: Non-terminated field wire compression connections must be
set at 22 in./Ibs, or greater. Always use 10 gauge wire or larger.
5. CAREFULLY SLIDE RANGE INTO FINAL LOCATION.
Be sure to provide all the adequate clearances and dimensions shown in
Figs. 1, 2 & 3 before moving appliance into final location.
Carefully slide range into final position while inserting rear leveling leg into
and FULLY ENGAGING THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET (See Fig. 7). Make sure the
