Power supply cord is not supplied, but is
available through your local electrical
supply house.
Range must be connected to the proper
electrical voltage and frequency as
specified on the model/serial rating plate.
(The model/serial rating plate is located
on the oven frame behind the storage
drawer panel.)
[_ A four-wire or three-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 amp circuit, fused on both
sides of the line.
[_ A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended.
_j The range can be connected directly
to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker
boxt through flexible armored conduit.
See "Direct wire method: Copper wire" or

When a four-wire receptacle of NEMA
Type 14-50R is used (see Figure 1), a
matching U.L-listed, four-wire, 250-volt,
40 amp, range power supply cord
(pigtail) must be used.This cord
contains four copper conductors with
ring terminals at the appliance end,
terminating
in a NEMAType 14-50P
plug on the supply end.The fourth
(grounding} conductor must be
identified by a green or green/yellow
cover and the neutral conductor by a
white cover. Cord should beType SRD
or SRDT with a U.L.-listed strain relief
and be at bast four feet long.
The minimum conductor sizes for the
copper four-wire power cord are:
40 amp circuit
2 No.-8 conductors
1 No.q0 white neutral
1 No.-8 green grounding
mfconnecting
to a three-wire
system:
Local codes may permit the use of a
U_L-listed, 250°volt, 40 amp range
power supply cord (pigtail}.This cord
contains three, No.q0 copper wires and
matches a three-wire receptacle of
NEMAType 10-50R, shown in Figure 2.
Connectors on the appliance end must
be provided at the point the power
supply cord enters the appliance.
