Electrical Connection - Whirlpool GR556LRKB0 Installation Instructions Manual

Electrical connection

(Not used for Canadian
installations)
This range can be connected directly to
the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker
box) through flexible, armored conduit.
Allow two to three feet of slack in the line
so that it can be moved if servicing is
ever necessary.
A U.L.-listed cable conduit connector
must be provided at each end of the
power supply cable (at the range and at
the junction box).
Remove the terminal block cover located
on the back of range.

Depending on your electrical supply,
make the four-wire or three-wire
connection to the range following the
"Power supply cord method" or "Direct
wire method" instructions.

If connecting to a
four-wire electrical system...
This range is manufactured with the
ground connected to the cabinet. The
ground must be revised so the green
grounding wire of the four-wire power
supply cord is connected to the cabinet.
See "Four-wire electrical connection"
section.
When a four-wire receptacle
of NEMA Type 14-50R is
used, a matching U.L.-listed,
four-wire, 250-volt, 40 amp,
range power supply cord
(pigtail) must be used. This
cord contains four copper
conductors with ring
terminals at the appliance
end, terminated 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 U.L.-
listed strain relief and be at least four
feet long.

Local codes may permit the
use of a U.L.-listed, 250-
volt, 40 amp range power
supply cord (pigtail). This
cord contains three, No.-10
copper wires and matches
a three-wire receptacle of
NEMA Type 10-50R.
Connectors on the
appliance end must be provided at the
point the power supply cord enters the
appliance.

WARNING - Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman
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.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Remove the knockout for the 40 amp
power supply cord.
3. Assemble a U.L.-listed strain relief in
the opening.
4. Insert the power supply cord through
the strain relief, allowing enough slack
to easily attach the wiring to the
terminal block.
5. Use either ring-type terminals or spade
terminals with upturned ends to
connect the power supply. To secure
the power supply cord, use the 3/8"
brass nuts attached to the knockout
opening. Be sure nuts are installed
tight.
6. Complete electrical connection
