Electrical Connection
We recommend
that you have the
electrical hookup of your range done
by a qualified electrician°
Have the
electrician
show you where your
range disconnect
is located.
Call your Electric Company
and ask
which codes apply in your area. If
there are no codes, you must follow
the NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL
CODE, ANSI/NFPA
NO. 70-1987.
You can get a copy by writing:

If you fail to wire your range in
accordance
with gover_ting codes,
you may create a hazardous
condition.
You must use a three-wire,
single-
phase AC 120/240 Volt or 208Y/120
Volt, 60 Hertz electrical
system to
operate your range.
Use #8 wire and 40 Amp fuse or
circuit breaker for 120/240 Volt and
208/120 Volt systems°
Do not use aluminum
wiring to
connect your range to the
household
circuit.
To Make Electrical
Connection:
1. Remove the junction block
access cover (on range back).
2. Use a 3-wire flexible cord (must
be rated for 40 Amps--1251250
Volts, with closed loop terminals
and approved
for use with
household
electrical
ranges) or a
4-wire flexible cord (required
for
mobile homes or where local codes
do not allow grounding
through the
neutral),
You must use a clamp or strain
relief to hold the cord or conduit.
