Electrical Connection - GE JAS02M Use And Care & Installation Manual

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 ELECI'RICAL
CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-1987.
You can get a copy by writing:

Association

If you fail to wire your range in
accordance with governing 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–125/250
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 the strain relief clamp
provided with the range to hold the
cord.
Hard Wiring
The power cord bracket also
incorporates a 7/8" diameter
opening for hard wiring (armored
cable, flexible conduit, romex wire,
etc.). If this type of wire is used,
remove the strain relief clamp and
bracket and reposition the bracket
so the 7/8" diameter hole is at the
bottom to accept the hard wiring.
Three Wire Cord
Connection
(Fig. 1)
1. Remove the top nuts on the
junction block studs.
2. Tighten the back nuts.
3.
Install the three wire cord and
the strain relief in the hole in the
strain relief bracket.
4. Connect the red and black leads
to the outer terminals and the white
lead to the center terminal.
5. Push the cord upward (to relieve
strain), while tightening the strain
relief clamp.
If local codes require an
ungrounded neutral (Fig.
Follow steps 1 through 5 above.
Then loosen the screw from the
ground strap and fasten a #10 copper
wire to the range. Secure the other
end of the wire to a grounded cold
water pipe or use another approved
grounding method.
Four Wire Cord
Connection
(Fig, 3)
1. Remove the top nuts on the
junction block studs.
2. Tighten the back nuts.
3. Remove the ground screw; then
remove the ground strap.
4. Install the four wire cord and
strain relief in the hole in the strain
relief bracket.
5. Connect the red and black leads
to the outside terminals and the
white lead to the center terminal.
6. Attach the green lead below the
junction block with the ground
screw that was removed earlier
(step 3).
