30" ELECTRIC RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

5. Electrical Connection Requirements

This appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualifi ed 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 fl exible conduit
or range cable, use fl ex connector or range cable strain
relief.
NOTE: Only use copper wire in connection to terminal
block.
5.1 Models Requiring Power Supply Cord Kit
3-Wire Cord Kit
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"; fl exible 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 fi gure 7 or 8.
If a larger hole is required, punch out the knockout.
Risk of fi re 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 fi re,
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.
