Electrical Requirements - U.S.A. Only

The electrical connection to this range is designed only for use
with a flexible power cord. All ranges are shipped with a specially
designed 4-wire power supply cord. This cord should be used on
all new branch circuits, mobile homes and when local codes
prohibit grounding though the neutral. For a 3-wire power supply
cord replacement, service kit part number 74011285 must be
used.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
Do not use an extension cord.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate
and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
One Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the
power supply cord plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Electrical Connection
To properly install your range, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and
frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating
plate. The model/serial number rating plate is located behind
the control panel or on the oven frame behind the storage
drawer panel. Refer to the figures in the "Product Dimensions"
section of the "Location Requirements" section.
This range is manufactured with a 4-wire 40-amp power cord.
For a 3-wire connection order UL listed power cord Part
Number 74011285.

8.8 - 16.5 KW 7.8 - 12.5 KW
16.6 - 22.5 KW 12.6 - 18.5 KW
*The NEC calculated load is less than the total connected load
listed on the model/serial rating plate.
**If connecting to a 50-amp circuit, use a 50-amp rated cord with
kit. For 50-amp rated cord kits, use kits that specify use with a
nominal 1³⁄₈" (34.9 mm) diameter connection opening.
A circuit breaker is recommended.
Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the range.
The wiring diagram is located at the back of the warming
drawer.
If connecting to a 4-wire system:
The green ground wire of the 4-wire power supply cord must be
connected to the cabinet. See "Electrical Connection."
Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new
branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; and
recreational vehicles, or an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor.

When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used, a
matching UL listed, 4-wire, 250-volt, 40- or 50-amp, range power
supply cord (pigtail) must be used. This cord contains 4 copper
conductors with ring terminals or open-end spade terminals with
upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 14-50P plug on the
supply end.
The fourth (grounding) conductor must be identified by a green or
green/yellow cover and the neutral conductor by a white cover.
Cord should be Type SRD or SRDT with a UL listed strain relief
and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long.
4-wire receptacle (14-50R)
The minimum conductor sized for the copper 4-wire power
cord are:
40-amp circuit
2 No.-8 conductors
1 No.-10 white neutral
1 No.-8 green grounding
If connecting to a 3-wire system:
Local codes may permit the use of a UL listed, 3-wire, 250-volt,
40- or 50-amp range power supply cord (pigtail). Order UL listed
3-wire power cord part number 74011285. This cord contains 3
copper conductors with ring terminals or open-end spade
terminals with upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 10-50P
plug on the supply end. Connectors on the appliance end must be
provided at the point the power supply cord enters the appliance.
This uses a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-50R. For a 3-wire
power supply cord replacement, service kit Part Number
74011285 must be used.

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground range.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path is adequate and wire gauge are in accordance
with local codes.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate
and in conformance with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1 - latest edition, and all local codes and
ordinances.
