Converting 3-Wire to 4-Wire Power Cord

1. Remove rear wire cover.
2. Remove bottom strain relief screw and retain for
further use.
3. Remove screw/hex nuts from terminal block and
retain for further use.
4. Remove all 3-wire or cable leads from the terminal
block and proceed to remove the power cord from the
range by pulling in a downward motion so the cord is
removed from strain relief.
5. To install the 4-wire cord, please follow step 3
through step 9 of Installing 4-Wire Power Cord
section.

Duct Requirements

• Duct should be 6-inch round metal ducting. Island or
peninsula installations may require 3
• To ensure proper ventilation, duct work must not
exceed 60 equivalent feet.
• Curved fittings should not account for more than 50% of
duct length.
• Flexible duct is not recommended because of irregular
interior surface. If flexible duct is to be used, one foot is
equal to 2 feet of metal duct. NEVER USE PLASTIC
TYPE DRYER DUCTING.
• Do not vent into an attic or crawl space. Vent range
outside.
• Flexible duct elbows are equal to twice as many feet
as smooth metal elbows.
• Never install two elbow fittings next to each other. Two
elbows installed together create a poor vent path and
insufficient ventilation.
• Seal all duct joints tightly using duct tape. Openings
left in ducting allow smoke and odor to escape inside
house.
• For best performance, do not use more than three 90°
elbows.
• 6-inch transition duct provided must be mechanically
secured to exhaust blower outlet. Secure transition
duct using two screws provided.
