BEFORE YOU START INSTALLING
Electrical requirements
Electrical
Shock Hazard
Electrically
ground this range.
Failure to ground
can result in
death or electrical
shock.
Do not ground
to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified
electrician
if you
are not sure the range is properly
grounded.
If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is
used, it is recommended
that a qualified electrician
determine that the grounding path is adequate,
Power supply cord is not supplied, but is available
through your local electrical supply house.
Range must be connected to the proper electrical volt-
age and frequency as specified on the model/serial rat-
ing plate. (The model/serial rating plate is located
under the cooktop).
[] CONNECT WITH COPPER WIRE ONLY.
[] A three-wire or 4-wire, single-phase,
120/240-volt,
60-Hz, AC-only, electrical supply (or three-wire or
four-wire 120/208 volt if specified on the model/
serial rating plate) is required on a separate,
40-ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line.
[] A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended.
[] Local codes may permit the use of a U.L-listed,
250-volt, 40-ampere
range power supply cord
(pigtail). This cord contains three, No.-10 copper
wires and matches a three-wire receptacle of NEMA
Type 10-50R, shown in Figure 1. Connectors on the
appliance end must be provided at the point the
power supply cord enters the appliance.
The range can be connected directly to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker box) through flexible,
armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper cable
(with grounding wire). Allow two to three feet of
slack in the line so that it can be moved if servicing
is ever necessary.
A U.L. listed conduit connector must be provided at
each end of the power supply cable (at the range
and at the junction box).
Wire sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) and
connections
must conform with the rating of the
range (40-amperes).
The wiring diagram is located on the back of the
range.
If connecting to a four wire system:
This range is manufactured with the ground connected
to the cabinet. This ground must be revised so the
green grounding wire of the four-wire power supply
cord is connected to the cabinet. See "Special ground-
ing instructions for 4-wire system" section, Page 22.
When a four-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is
used (see Figure 2), a matching U.L.-listed, four-wire,
250-volt, 40-ampere, range power supply cord (pigtail)
must be used. This cord contains four copper conduc-
tors with ring terminals at the appliance end, terminat-
ing in a NEMA Type 14-50P plug on the supply end.
The fourth (grounding) conductor
must be identified by
a green or green/yellow
cover and the neutral conduc-
tor by a white cover. Cord should be Type SRD or
SRDT with a U.L. listed strain relief and be at least
four feet long.
The MINIMUM conductor sizes for the copper four-
wire power cord are:
40-ampere circuit
2, No.-8 conductors
1 No.-10 white neutral
1 No.-8 green grounding
3-wire wall
4-wire wail
receptacle 110-50R)
receptacle 114-50R)
