Four-wire installation is recommended
n
requirement for mobile homes:
This
appliance is manufactured with ground
connected to cabinet.
The ground must be revised so
the green grounding wire of the four-wire power supply
cord is connected to the cabinet.
When a four-wire receptacle of NEMA type 14-50R is
used (See Figure l), a matching U.L.-listed, four-wire,
250~volt, 40-ampere, range power supply cord (pigtail)
must be used. This cord contains four copper conductors
with ring terminals on the appliance end, terminating in a
NEMA Type 14-50P plug on the supply end. The fourth
(grounding) conductor must be identified by a green or
green/yellow cover and the neutral conductor by a white
cover. Cord should be Type SRD or SRDT with a U.L.-
listed strain relief and be at least four feet long.
The
MINIMUM
conductor sizes for the copper
four-wire power supply cord are:
40-ampere circuit
2, No.-8 conductors
1, No.-10 white neutral
1, No.-8 green grounding
JD.I
Three-wire installation if a four-wire
system is not available:
Local codes may
permit the use of a U.L.-listed, 250-volt,
40-ampere range power supply cord (pigtail). This cord
contains three, No.-10 copper wires and matches a
three-wire receptacle of NEMA Type lo-50R, shown in
Figure 2. Connectors on the appliance end must be ring
terminals. A U.L.-listed strain relief must be used to
connect the power supply cord to the range.
E-l
This range should be connected directly to
n
the fused disconnect or circuit breaker box
- through flexible, armored or non-metallic
sheathed, copper cable (with grounding wire). Locate the
junction box to allow two to three feet of slack in the line
so that the range can be moved if servicing is ever
necessary. Do Not cut the conduit.
A U.L.-listed conduit connector must be provided at each
end of the power supply cable (at the range and at the
junction box).
El
Wire sizes and connections must conform to
the requirements of the National Electrical
H Code, ANSVNFPA 70 - latest edition (*, see
Panel A) and all local codes and ordinances
for the kilowatt rating of the range (40-amperes).

Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install range.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in
back or other injury.

When moving range, slide range onto cardboard or
hardboard to prevent damaging the floor covering.
Ll-l
Put on safety glasses and gloves. Remove

shipping materials, tape and protective film
from range. Keep cardboard bottom and
shipping base under range. Remove oven racks and
parts package from inside oven.
Take four cardboard
corners from the carton. Stack one
cardboard corner on top of another. Repeat with other
two corners. Place them lengthwise on the floor behind
the range - to support the range when it is laid on its
back. Firmly grasp the range and gently lay it on its back
on the cardboard corners.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power to the junction box before making
connection.
Electrically ground range.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
death, fire or electrical shock.

This range 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 range.

1.
Disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove the knockout for 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 knockout opening. Be sure
nuts are installed tight.
6. Complete electrical connection according to your type
electrical supply ("Four-wire electrical connection" or
"Three-wire electrical connection").

Use this method for mobile homes and whenever
four-wire installation is required.
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.
,
3. 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 block cover. See Figure 6.
10. Connect the other two wires to the outer terminals
on the terminal block. See Figure 6.

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.
