Electrical connection
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This range must
be grounded. In the event of malfunction
or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current.
If using a power supply cord, the plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
If using a direct wire connection, this range must
be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system; or an equipment-ground
conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment-
ground terminal or lead on the range.
Pull cover down and

Depending on your electrical supply, make
the three-wire or four-wire connection following
the "Power supply cord method" or "Direct wire
method" instructions.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn power supply off before connecting cord.
Use a new 40-ampere power supply cord.
Plug into a grounded outlet.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result
in death, fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the
power supply cord plug. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This range is manufactured with the neutral
terminal connected to the cabinet. Use a three-wire,
U.L.-listed, 40-ampere power supply cord (pigtail);
or if local codes Do Not permit ground through the
neutral, use a four-wire power supply cord rated at
250 volts, 40-amperes and investigated for use with
ranges. (See "Four-wire electrical connection.")

1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove the knockout for the 40-ampere power
supply cord.
3. Assemble a U.L.-listed strain relief in the opening.
4. Insert the power supply cord through the strain
relief, allowing enough slack to easily attach the
wiring to the terminal block.
5. Use only ring-type terminals to connect the
power supply. To secure the power supply cord,
use the 3/8" brass terminal nuts attached to the
inside of the terminal block cover. Be sure nuts
are installed tight.
6. Complete electrical connection according to your
type electrical supply ("Three-wire electrical
connection"
or "Four-wire electrical connection.")

7. Use the brass terminal nuts attached to the
inside of the terminal block cover to connect
the neutral wire (center wire) to the silver-
colored terminal screw on the terminal block.
See Figure 3.
8. Connect the other two wires to outer
terminal screws on the terminal block. See
Figure 3.
9. Do Not loosen factory-installed
nuts already
on the terminal. Tighten nuts with 3/8" nut
driver for proper electrical connection.
10. Tighten the strain relief screws.
11. Replace the terminal block cover.
12. Plug power supply cord into grounded
electrical outlet.

7. Remove the ground-link screw from the
range frame. Save the ground-link screw.
Bend up the ground link so that it does not
contact the range. See Figure 4.
8. Connect the green ground wire from power
supply cord to the range using the ground-
link screw. The ground wire must be
attached first and must not contact any other
terminal. See Figure 5.
9. Connect the neutral wire (center wire) to the
center, silver-colored terminal screw on the
terminal block using the brass terminal nuts
that are attached to the inside of the terminal
block cover. See Figure 5.
10. Connect the other two wires to the outer
terminals on the terminal block. See Figure 5.
1 I. Do Not loosen the factory-installed
nuts
already on the terminal. Tighten nuts with 3/8'
nut driver for proper electrical connection.
12. Tighten the strain relief screws.
13. Replace the terminal block cover.
14. Plug power supply cord into grounded
electrical outlet.
