NOTE:The bag containing three
aluminum terminal lugs must be used
when making a direct wire connection.
E[ectrba[ 8hock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Use 8 gauge copper or $ gauge
aluminum wire.
Electrically ground range.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
This range may be connected directly to
the fuse disconnect or circuit breaker box;
or with a U.L.qisted, 40 amp range power
supply came. Depending on your
electrical supply, make the required three-
wire or four-wire connection.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Remove the knockout as needed for
conduit connecqon.
3. Assemble a U.L.- '__1
listed conduit .-listed

4. Strip the insulation back 1 inch from
the end of each wire.
5. Allow enough slack in the wire to
easily attach the wiring terminal block.
6. Use 3/8" nut driver and remove the
outside nuts on the terminal block
screws. Do not loosen the factory°
tightened nuts behind the outside nuts.

terminal posts with the set screws
facing out as shown.
8. Attach three aluminum terminal lugs
to terminal posts.
Use a 3/8" nut driver and tighten the
nuts securely. Nuts must be tightened
to 20 in/ibs of torque for proper
electrical connection.
9. Complete electrical connection
according to your type electrical

attached first and must not contact any
other terminal. See Figure 2.
12. Loosen (do not remove} the 3 slotted
set screws, insert the neutral (whitet
wire into the hob at the bottom of the
center position lug (attached to center
terminal screw black terminal block).
See Figure 2. Connect the other two
wires (line 1 and 2) to the outer
aluminum lugs. Securely tighten the
set screws. For 8 gauge copper wire,
tighten to 25 in/Ibs of torque, and for
6 gauge aluminum wire, tighten to
35 in/Ibs of torque to make a proper
electrical connection. See Figure 2.
13.Tighten the locking ring of the
