Your local utility company will tell you whether the present
electric service to your home is adequate, tt may be
necessary to increase the size of the wiring to the house
and service switch to take care of the electrical load
demanded by the range. The kilowatt rating for the range
is specified on the name plate on the range.

Most local Building Regulations and Codes require that all
electrical wiring be done by licensed electricians. All wiring
should conform to Local and National Electrical Codes.
This range requires a single phase three wire 120/240 or a
120/208 volt, 60 Hz, AC circuit. Wiring codes require a
separate circuit be run from the main entrance panel to the
range and that it be equipped with separate disconnect
switch and fuses, either in the main entrance panel or in a
separate switch and fuse box. In some communities, a
solid or flexible continuous armored conduit must be used
from main entrance panel to the terminal box on the rear
of the range. Others will permit the termination of the
range circuit at a polarized three or four wire plug-in outlet
placed at a convenient point near the back of the range.
The range is then connected to this outlet through an
approved range connector (pigtail) fastened securely to
the terminal block with proper strain relief at the range and
a three or four pronged plug at the opposite end.

Some models are shipped direct from the factory with
service cords (pigtails) attached. There are no range
connections necessary on these models. Just plug into the
range outlet. On models not provided with a service cord
and models having a conduit, connection to the power
supply is necessary. REMEMBER- mobile homes and
some LOCAL CODES DO NOT PERMIT GROUNDING
THROUGH NEUTRAL. Hence, 4-wire service MUST be
provided for such installations. All others permit 3-wire
service. Use COPPER WIRE ONLY. Make connections as
explained below and with reference to the appropriate
illustration (see figures 8 thru 11 on pages I 0 and 11).
After installation, insure tightness of all electrical
connections and replace all covers.
NOTE: Cord replacement- ONLY a power supply cord
rated at 240 volts minimum, 40 amperes or 50 amperes
power supply cord that is marked for use with nominal 1
3/8" (34.93 mm) diameter connection opening, with closed
loop terminals and marked for use with ranges shall be
used.
Remove terminal block access cover from range back.
(See figure 7).
For service cord (pigtail) use, remove knockout ring from
conduit plate. (See figures 8 and 10 on pages 10 and 11).
