Direct wire method: Copper or Aluminum wire
NOTE: The bag containing three
aluminum terminal lugs must be used
when making a direct wire connection.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Use 8 gauge copper or 6 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.-listed, 40 amp range power
supply cable. 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 connection.
3. Assemble a U.L.-
listed conduit
connector in
opening.

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.

7. IMPORTANT: the aluminum lugs must
be assembled to the terminal posts
with the set screws facing out as
shown.
8. Attach three aluminum lugs to
terminal posts.
Use a 3/8" nut driver and tighten the
nuts securely. Nuts must be tightened
to 20 in/lbs of torque for proper
electrical connection.
9. Complete electrical connection
according to your type electrical
supply ("Four-wire electrical
connection" or "Three-wire electrical
connection. " )

Use this method for new installations,
mobile homes, recreational vehicles and
whenever four-wire installation is
required.
10. Remove the ground-link screw from
the range frame. Save the ground-link
screw and cup washer. Bend up the
ground link so that it does not contact
the range. See Figures 1 and 2.
11. Connect the bare ground wire to the
range using the ground-link screw and
cup washer. The ground wire must be
attached first and must not contact any
other terminal. See Figure 2.
12. Loosen (do not remove) the 3 slotted
terminal
set screws. Insert the neutral (white)
screw
wire into the hole at the bottom of the
center position lug (attached to center
