We recommend
that you have the electrical hookup of
your range done by a qualified electrician.
Have the
electrician
show you where your range disconnect
is
located.
Call your Electric Company and ask which codes apply
in your area. if there are no codes, you must follow the
NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL
CODE, ANSI/NFPA
NO. 70-
Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:

If you fall to wire your range In accordance with govern-
Ing codes, you may create a hazardous condition.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase AC 120/240 Volt
or 208Y/120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system to operate
your range.
Use #8 wire and 40 Amp fuse or circuit breaker for 120/
240 Volt and 208Y/120 Volt systems.
The range connector block is approved for copper wire
connection only.
If you are connecting
to aluminum
house wiring, you must use a special U.L. approved
connector for joining copper to aluminum.

1. Remove the screws on the terminal block.
2. Install the three-wire cord and the strain relief in the
hole In the strain relief bracket.
3. Connect the outer leadstotheouter
terminals and the
center lead to the center termlnal.
4. Push the cord upward
(to relieve
strain),
while
tightening the strain relief clamp.
if local codes require an ungrounded neutral:
a. Remove ground strap.
b. Fasten the white wire to the center termlnal.
c. Use groundlng terminal or lead to ground unit in
accordance with local codes.

To Make Electrical Connection:
1. Remove the junction block access cover (on range
back). See Fig. A or B. SOME MODELS will have a
one-piece wire cover shown In Fig. B.
When re-
Installing one-piece wire cover, make sure that wire
does not become plnched between wire cover and
malnback.

2. Use a 3-wire flexible cord kit marked
for ranges.
If
range is rated between 8,750-16,500 watts, cord must
be rated for 40 Amps-125!250
Volts. If range is rated
between 16,501-22,500
watts, then the cord must be
rated for 50 Amps-125/250
Volts.
Mobile homes or
Installations where local codes do not allow grounding
through the neutral require a 4-wire flexible cord. The
same cord sizing conditions described above apply.
3. When using a cord rated 40 Amps, remove the next to
outermost knockout (13/8"diameter)
in the connection
plate.
Likewise, when using a cord rated 50 Amps,
remove the outermost knockout (1 3/4" diameter) in
the plate.
4. Terminations shall be either closed loop terminals or
open-end spade lugs with upturned ends.
You must use a clamp or strain relief to hold the cord.

1. Remove the screws on the terminal block.
2. Remove the ground screw, then remove the ground
strap.
3. Install the four-wire cord and strain relief in the hole
In the strain relief bracket.
4. Connect the red and black leadtothe outside terminals
and the white lead to the center termlnal.
5. Attach the green lead below the junction block with
the ground screw that was removed earlier (step 2).
6. Push the strain relief upward (to relieve strain), while
