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.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
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.

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
on the right vertical surface of the oven door frame. Refer
to the illustrations in the "Product Dimensions" of the
"Location Requirements" section.
This range may be manufactured with a 4-wire power
■
supply cord or may not include a power supply cord. If your
range does not include a power supply cord, use a 4-wire
power supply cord rated at 250 volts, 40 or 50 amps, and
investigated for use with ranges.

* 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⁄
" (34.9 mm) diameter connection opening.

If connecting to a 4-wire system:
This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the
cabinet. The ground must be revised, so the green ground wire
of the 4-wire power supply cord is connected to the cabinet.
See the "Electrical Connection – U.S.A. Only" section.
Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new
branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes,
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 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 14-50R 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 conductors sized for the copper 4-wire power
cord are:
40-amp circuit
2 No.-8 conductors
1 No.-10 white neutral
1 No.-10 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). 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.
