INSTALLATION MANUAL

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The installer or consumer is responsible for connecting the power
supply cord to the connection block located behind the back panel
access cover.
This range may be connected by means of permanent "hard wiring"
(flexible armored or nonmetallic shielded copper or aluminum cable),
or by means of a power supply cord kit. Only a power supply cord kit
rated at 240 volts or 208 volts and 50 amperes and marked for use
with ranges shall be used. Cord must have either 3 or 4 conductors
to match electric receptacle.
For mobile homes, new installations, recreational vehicles or areas
where local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, a 4 con-
ductor power supply cord kit rated at 240 volts or 208 volts minimum,
50 amperes and marked for use with ranges should be used.
Terminals on end of wires must be either closed loop or open-end
spade lugs with upturned ends. Cord must have strain-relief clamp.
The range connection opening should be 1 3/8-inches.
Risk of fire or electrical shock exists if an
incorrect size range cord kit is used or the Installation Manual
or strain relief clamp are disregarded.
CAUTION
Do not loosen the nuts which secure the factory-
installed range wiring to the terminal block while connecting
range. Electrical failure or loss of electrical connection may
occur.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• Electrical ground is required on this range.
• Do not connect to the electrical supply until range is permanently
grounded.
• DISCONNECT POWER TO THE CIRCUIT BREAKER
OR FUSE BOX BEFORE MAKING THE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION.
• This range must be connected to a grounded, metallic,
permanent wiring system or the grounding connector of the
power cord should be connected to the grounding terminal or
wire lead on the range.
• Failure to heed these warnings could result in a fire, personal
injury or electrical shock.
208/240 VOLT CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
The range can be set for 208V or 240V. The voltage setting for your
range is pre-set at 240V from the factory. Follow these steps to
change the voltage setting.
1 Locate the voltage switch on the lower back side of the
range.
2 Remove the screw and rotate the switch plate 180˚ as indicated
in the Figure 4.
3 Reinsert the switch plate and replace screw as indicated
in Figure 5. The voltage setting is indicated by the visible
marking.
