30" ELECTRIC RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
5. Electrical Connection Requirements
This appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-latest edition- and local electrical code
requirements.
This appliance may be connected by means of
permanent "Hard Wiring" or "Power Supply Cord
Kit."
When hard wiring, do not leave excess wire in
range compartment. Excess wire in the range
compartment may not allow the access cover to
be replaced properly, and could create a potential
electrical hazard if wires become pinched. When
using flexible conduit or range cable, use flex
connector or range cable strain relief.
NOTE: Only use copper wire in connection to
terminal block.
5.1 Models Requiring Power Supply Cord Kit
Figure 7 – 3-Wire 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 (when local code
allow it) or by means of a power supply cord kit.
NOTE: Electric slide-in range is shipped from
factory with 1 1/8" (2.9 cm) dia. hole as shown on
figure 9. If a larger hole is required, punch out the
knockout.
Risk of fire or electrical shock exists
if an incorrect size range cord kit is used, the
Installation Instructions are not followed, or the
strain relief bracket is discarded.
For mobile homes, new installation or recreational
vehicles, use only a power cord kit design for a
range at 125V /250V 50A recommended (minimum
40A). Cord must have either 3 (when local code
permits grounding through neutral) or 4 conductors.
Terminal on end of wires must be either closed loop
or open spade lug with upturned ends. Cord must
have strain-relief clamp. If a 50A circuit is used, a
50A power cord must be used.
Do not loosen the nuts which secure
the factory-installed range wiring to terminal
block while connecting range. Electrical failure or
loss of electrical connection may occur.
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
• Do not connect to the electrical supply until
appliance is permanently grounded.
• Disconnect power to the circuit breaker or fuse
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 any of the above could result in a
fire, personal injury or electrical shock.
