Electricalconnection
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
Do Not connect to the electrical supply until
the appliance is permanently grounded.
Disconnect the power to the junction box
before making the electrical connection.
This appliance must be connected to a
grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system
or a grounding connector should be
connected to the grounding terminal or wire
lead on the appliance.
Failure to do so could result in death or
serious injury.

Remove the terminal block cover located
• on the back of range.
Depending on your electrical supply,
• make the three-wire or four-wire
connection following the "Power supply cord
method" or "Direct wire method" instructions.
This appliance is manufactured with the neutral
terminal connected to the cabinet. Use a three-
wire, U.L.-listed, 40-ampere power supply cord
(pigtail); or if local codes Do Not permit
grounding through the neutral, use a four-wire
power supply cord rated at 250 volts, 40-amperes
and investigated for use with ranges. (See "Four-
wire electrical connection.")

1. Disconnectthe power supply.
2. Remove the knockoutfor the 40-ampere
power supply cord.
3. Assemble a U.L.-listed strain relief in the
opening.
4. Insert the power supply cord through the
strain relief, allowing enough slack to easily
attach the wiring to the terminal block.
5. Use only ring-type terminals to connect the
power supply. To secure the power supply
cord, use the 3/8" brass nuts attached to the
terminal blockcover. Be sure nuts are installed
tight.
6. Complete electrical connection according to
your type electrical supply ("Three-wire
electrical connection" or "Four-wire electrical
connection.")

7. Use the brassterminal nuts attached to the
terminal blockcover to connect the neutral wire
(center wire) to the silver-colored terminal screw
on the terminal block. See Figure 3.
8. Connect the other two wires to outer terminal
screws on the terminal block. See Figure 3.
9. Do Not loosen factory-installed nuts already on
the terminal. Tighten nuts with 3/8" nut driver
for proper electrical connection.
10. Tighten the strain relief screws.
11. Reinstallthe terminal block cover.
12. Plug power supply cord into grounded electrical
outlet.

7. Remove the grounding-link screw from the
range frame. Save the grounding-link screw.
Bend up the grounding link so that it does not
contact the range. See Figure 4.
8. Connect the green grounding wire from power
supply cord to the range using the grounding-link
screw. The grounding wire must be attached first
and must not contact any other terminal. See
Figure 5.
9. Connect the neutral (center wire) wire to the
center, silver-colored terminal screw on the
terminal block using the brass nuts that are
attached to the terminal blockcover. See
Figure 6.
10. Connect the other two wires to the outer
terminals on the terminal block.See Figure 6.
11. Do Not loosen the factory installed nuts already
on the terminal. Tighten nuts with 3/8" nut driver
for proper electrical connection.
12. Tighten the strain relief screws.
13. Replace the terminal block cover.
14. Plug power supply cord into grounded electrical
outlet.
This appliance may be connected directly to the fuse
disconnect or circuit breaker box; or with a U.L.-listed,
40-ampere range power supply cord (pigtail). Depending
on your electrical supply, make the required three-wire or
four-wire connection.
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove the knock-out for the
power supply cable.
3. Assemble a U.L.-listed conduit
connector in the power supply cable
opening.
4. Strip outer covering back 3 inches
from end, exposing the wires.
Strip the insulation back 1 inch
from the end of the each wire.
5. Form the bare wire into a "U"
shaped hook.
6. Insert the power supply cable
through the conduit connector,
allowing enough slack to easily attach the wiring
terminal block.
7. Complete electrical connection according to your type
electrical supply ("Three-wire electrical connection" or
"Four-wire electrical connection.")
