ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
REqUIREMENTS
This appliance must be installed and grounded on a branch
circuit by a qualified technician in accordance with the
National Electrical code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70 - latest edition.
All wiring should conform to Local and NEC codes. This
range requires a single-phase, 3 wire, AC 120/208V or
120/240V 60Hz electrical system. Use only a 3-conductor
or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord with closed-loop
terminals, open-end spade lugs with upturned ends, or similar
termination. DO NOT install the power cord without a strain
relief.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 120/240 minimum volt
range is required. If a 50 amp range cord is used, it should be
marked for use with 1
/
" diameter connection openings.

• New branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC) for
mobile homes, recreational vehicles, and installations
where local codes do not allow grounding through
the neutral wire require a 4-conductor UL listed
range cord or 4 wire conduit connection.

If the plug will not fit in the outlet, have a proper
outlet Installed by a qualified electrician.
• Do not use an extension cord to connect to power.
Connect the power cord and plug directly.
• Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
• Make sure that the power cord is not pinched by the
range or heavy objects.
− Failure to do so can result in serious burns or
electrical shock.
