Direct Wire Installation: Copper or Aluminum Wire
This range may be connected directly to the circuit breaker box
or fused disconnect. Depending on your electrical supply, make
the required 3-wire or 4-wire connection.
1. Strip outer covering back 3" (7.6 cm) to expose wires. Strip
the insulation back 1" (2.5 cm) from the end of each wire.
