Power Supply 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" (flexible armored or
nonmetallic shielded copper cable), or by means of a
power supply cord kit. Onlya power supply cord kit
rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes and
marked for use with ranges shall be used. Cord must
have 3 conductors (see Figures 1 and 5).
Mobile homes, new installations, recreational vehicles,
or areas where local codes do not permit grounding
through neutral, a 4 conductor power supply cord kit
rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes and
marked for use with ranges should be used (see Figures
2 and 6).
Terminals on ends of wires must either be closed loop or
open-end spade lugs with upturned ends. Cord must
have strain relief clamp.
Risk of fire or electrical shock may be
incurred if an incorrect size range cord kit is used,
the Installation Instructions are not followed, or
the strain relief bracket is discarded.

If Connecting to a 4-Wire System
This range is manufactured with the ground connected to
the cabinet. The ground must be revised so the green
ground wire of the 4-wire power supply cord is
connected to the cabinet. See "Four Conductor Wire
Connection to Range" on page 4.
When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used
(see Figure 1), a matching U.L.-listed, 4-wire, 250 volt,
40 ampere range power supply cord (pigtail) must be
used. This cord contains 4 copper conductors with ring
terminals at the appliance end, terminating in a NEMA
Type 14-50P plug on the supply end. The fourth (ground)
conductor must be identified by a green or green/yellow
cover and the neutral conductor by a white cover. Cord
should be Type SRD or SRDT with a U.L.-listed strain
relief and be at least 4 feet long.
The minimum conductor sizes for the copper 4-wire
power cord are:
40 ampere circuit
2 No. 8 conductors
1 No. 10 white neutral
1 No. 8 green ground

Three Conductor Wire Connection to Range
(The 3-conductor cord or cable must be replaced
with a 4-conductor cord or cable where grounding
through the neutral conductor is prohibited in mew
installations, mobile homes, recreational vehicles or
in other areas where local codes do not permit
neutral grounding.)
If local codes permit connection of the frame
grounding conductor to the neutral wire of the
copper power supply cord (see Figure 4).
A. Remove the 3 screws at the lower end of the
rear wire cover, then raise the lower end of the
rear wire cover (access cover) upward to expose
range terminal connection block (see Figure 3).
