3-Wire Service Cord or Conduit Installation
1. Insure that the copper ground strap IS CONNECTED
between the middle post of the main terminal
connection block and the range chassis.
2. If bare copper or aluminum wiring is used, attach
adapter lugs as shown in figure 6. (See Bare Wire
Connection). Torque specifications are shown below.
3. The middle wire of the service cord or ground lead of
3-wire conduit MUST connect to the neutral (middle)
post of the main terminal block. The other two wires of
the service cord or conduit connect to the outside posts
of the main terminal connection block. Polarity is
unimportant. (If using bare wire, attach wire to
appropriate lug as shown. Torque specifications are
shown below).
4. An appropriate strain relief for service cord or conduit
MUST be attached to the conduit plate.

Disconnect range from power. Remove the access cover
on back of range and remove the 3-wire service cord from
the main terminal block. Follow instructions as outlined in
figure 9 to connect the 4-wire service cord.
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.

4-Wire Service Cord or Conduit Installation
(Mobile Homes Or As Required By Codes)
1. The copper ground strap connected between the
neutral (middle) post of the main terminal block and the
chassis MUST be cut off as shown in figure 7. Save the
green ground screw to attach the ground from the 4
wire cord. Only a 4 wire cord or conduit should be
used.
2. If bare copper or aluminum wiring is used, attach
adapter lugs as shown in figure 7. (See Bare Wire
Connection). Torque specifications are shown below.
3. The ground wire from the service cord or conduit must
connect to the range chassis using the green ground
screw.
4. The white wire of the service cord or conduit must
connect to the neutral (middle) post of the main
terminal block. The other two wires of the service cord
connect to the red and black posts of the main terminal
block, respectively. (If using bare wire, attach wire to
appropriate lug as shown. Torque specifications are
shown below).
5. An appropriate strain relief for service cord or conduit
MUST be attached to the conduit plate.
