3-Wire Connection: Power Supply Cord
Use this method only if local codes permit connecting chassis
ground conductor to neutral wire of power supply cord.
1. Feed the power supply cord through the strain relief in the
cord/conduit plate on bottom of range. Allow enough slack to
easily attach the wiring to the terminal block.

3. Connect line 2 (red) and line 1 (black) wires to the outer
terminal block posts with 10-32 hex nuts.
4. Using a torque wrench, tighten the hex nuts to a
recommended torque of 20 in-lbs (2.3 N-m).
NOTE: For power supply cord replacement, only use a power
cord rated at 250 V minimum, 40 A or 50 A that is marked for
use with nominal 1 3 / " (3.5 cm) diameter connection opening,

with ring terminals and marked for use with ranges.
5. Tighten strain relief screws.
IMPORTANT: Verify the tightness of the hex nuts.
6. Replace terminal block access cover.
