40" ELECTRIC RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Power Supply Cord Kit

The user is responsible for connecting the power supply
cord to the connection block located behind the back
panel access cover.
This appliance may be connected by means of
permanent "hard wiring" (flexible armored or
nonmetallic shielded copper cable), or by means of a
power supply cord kit. Use only a power supply cord kit
rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes minimum
and marked for use with ranges. See chart (below) for
cord kit connection opening size and rating information.
Cord must have either 3 or 4 conductors.
For mobile homes, new installations, recreational
vehicles, or areas where local codes do not permit
grounding through neutral, a 4 conductor power supply
cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes
and marked for use with ranges should be used (see
Figure 4).
Terminals on end of wires must either be closed loop or
open-end spade lugs with upturned ends. Cord must
have strain relief clamp.
Risk of fire or electrical shock exists if
an incorrect size range cord kit is used, if the
Installation Instructions are not followed, or if the
strain relief bracket is discarded.
Range Connection Opening Size Chart
Refer to chart below for proper range connection opening size
and power supply cord kit ampere rating information. See serial

Electrical Connection to the Range

This appliance is manufactured with the neutral terminal
connected to the range.
While connecting range, do not
loosen the nuts which secure the terminal block to
the range. Electrical failure or loss of electrical
connection may occur.

Electrical Shock Hazard

• Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
• Do not connect to the electrical supply until
appliance is permanently grounded.
• Disconnect power to the circuit breaker or fuse
box before making the electrical connection.
• This appliance must be connected to a
grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system,
or a grounding connector should be connected
to the grounding terminal or wire lead on the
appliance.
• Do not use the gas supply line for grounding
the appliance.
Failure to do any of the above could result in a
fire, personal injury or electrical shock.

Three Conductor Wire Connection to Range

(The 3-conductor cord or cable must be replaced with a
4-conductor cord or cable where grounding through the
neutral conductor is prohibited in new installations,
mobile homes, recreational vehicles or in other areas
where local codes do not permit neutral grounding)
If local codes permit connection of the frame grounding
conductor to the neutral wire of the copper power supply
cord (see Figure 3):
1. Remove the 3 screws at the lower end of the rear
wire cover, then bend the lower end of the rear wire
cover (access cover) upward to expose range
terminal connection block (see Figure 2).
