4. Electrical Connection Requirements

This appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with
the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70--latest
edition--and local electrical code requirements.
This appliance may be connected by means of
permanent "Hard Wiring" or "Power Supply Cord Kit."
When hard wiring, do not leave excess wire in range
compartment. Excess wire in the range compartment
may not allow the access cover to be replaced
properly, and could create a potential electrical hazard
if wires become pinched. When using flexible conduit
or range cable, use flex connector or range cable strain
relief.
NOTE: Only use copper wire in connection to terminal
block.
4.1 Models Requiring Power Supply Cord Kit
Figure 2 – 3-Wire Cord Kit
(See instructions on
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 (when local code allow it) or by means of a power supply
cord kit.
NOTE: Electric Slide-in Range is shipped from factory with 1
1/8" (2.9 cm) dia. hole as shown on figure 4. If a larger hole is
required, punch out the knockout.
Risk of fire or electrical shock exists if
an incorrect size range cord kit is used, the Installation
Instructions are not followed, or the strain relief bracket
is discarded.
For mobile homes, new installations or recreational vehicles,
use only a power supply kit designed for a range at 125V/250V
50A recommended (minimum 40A). Cord must have either
3 (when local code permits grounding through neutral) or 4
conductors. Terminal on end of wires must be either closed
loop or open spade lug with upturned ends. Cord must have
strain-relief clamp. If a 50A circuit is used, a 50A power cord
must be used.
Do not loosen the nuts which secure the
factory-installed range wiring to terminal block while
connecting 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.
Failure to do any of the above could result in a fire,
personal injury or electrical shock.
This appliance is manufactured with
the frame grounded by connection of a grounding
strap between the neutral power supply terminal
and the frame. If used in USA, in a new branch circuit
installation (1996 NEC), mobile home or recreational
vehicule, where local code do not permit grounding
through neutral (white) wire or in Canada; remove the
grounding strap from the frame and cut the other end,
near the neutral terminal. Connect the appliance in
usual manner.
