Power Cord Connection - Kenmore 30" DUAL FUEL RANGE Installation Instructions Manual

Wiring Instructions (4-Wire Connection - See Fig. 33).
Before wiring the range review the suggested power source location drawing in Fig. 2. If connecting to a
4-Wire electrical system (new branch-circuit or mobile home requires 4-Wire connection):
POWER CORD CONNECTION
1. Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions supplied with the strain relief and install (Also see
Figs. 29, 30 & 31 ).
2. Insert the end connectors for Line 1, Line 2 and Neutral and tighten securely to the terminal block.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT LOOSEN the factory installed nut connections which secure the
range wiring to the terminal block. Electrical failure or loss of electrical connection may occur if these
3 nuts are loosened or removed.
3. You must disconnect the ground strap. Remove the factory installed ground screw & plate to
release the copper ground strap from the frame of the appliance. Cut and discard the copper ground
strap & plate. KEEP the ground screw.
4. Connect the ground wire (Green) lead with the eyelet to the frame of the appliance with the ground
screw using the same hole in the frame where the ground screw was originally installed (See Fig.
33).
5. Make sure all screws are tightened securely and replace the rear access cover (See Fig. 30).

loosened or removed.
3. Make sure all connections are tightened securely and replace the rear access cover (See Fig. 30).
Grounding Instructions (for 3-Wire Connections ONLY)
A ground strap is installed on this range which connects the center terminal of the terminal block (neutral) to
the range chassis. The ground strap is connected to the range by the center, lowest screw (See Fig. 34). The
ground strap must not be removed unless national or local codes do not permit use of ground strap.
NOTE: If the ground strap is removed for any reason, a separate ground wire must be connected to the
separate ground screw attached to the range chassis and to an adequate ground source.
For 3 & 4-Wire Permanent Connections ONLY
3 - Wire Permanent Connection - follow Steps 1,2 & 5 below.
4 - Wire Permanent Connection - follow Steps 1 thru 5 below.
Before wiring the range, review the suggested power source location drawings in Fig. 2. If connecting to
a 4-Wire electrical system (new branch-circuit or mobile home requires 4-Wire connection):
1. (3 & 4 - Wire Permanent Connections) Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions supplied
with the strain relief and install.
2. (3 & 4 - Wire Permanent Connections) Strip insulation away from the ends of the permanent
wiring for Line 1, Line 2, Neutral (also strip ground wire on 4-Wire Connections). Tighten all 3 wire
leads to the terminal block (Follow wire locations shown in Fig. 35).
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT LOOSEN the factory installed nut connections which secure the
range wiring to the terminal block. Electrical failure or loss of electrical connection may occur if these
3 nuts are loosened or removed. NOTE: For 3-Wire Permanent Connections skip Steps 3 & 4
and continue with Step 5.
3. (4-Wire Permanent Connection ONLY) Disconnect the ground strap. Remove the factory installed
ground screw & plate to release the factory installed copper ground strap from frame of the
appliance. Cut and discard the copper strap from the terminal block. KEEP the ground screw,
ground plate and go to Step 4.
4. (4-Wire Permanent Connection ONLY) Connect the ground wire lead (Green) to the frame of the
appliance using the ground screw & plate as shown in Fig. 36. Be sure to install using the same hole
in the frame where the ground screw was originally installed.
5. (3 & 4 - Wire Permanent Connections) Make sure all connections are tightened securely and
replace the rear access cover (See Fig. 30).
NOTE: Non-terminated field wire compression connections must be set at approximately 90in./Ibs.
