40" ELECTRIC RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Power Supply 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" (fl exible armored or nonmetallic shielded
copper cable), or by means of a power supply cord kit.
Only a power supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts
minimum, 40 amperes and marked for use with ranges
shall be used. Cord must have 3 conductors (see Figures
1 and 5).

Mobile homes, new installations, recreational vehicles, or
areas where local codes do not permit grounding through
neutral, a 4 conductor power supply cord kit rated at
125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes and marked for use
with ranges should be used (see Figures 2 and 6).

Terminals on ends of wires must either be closed loop
or open-end spade lugs with upturned ends. Cord must
have strain relief clamp.

Risk of fi re or electrical shock may be

incurred if an incorrect size range cord kit is used,
the Installation Instructions are not followed, or the
strain relief bracket is discarded.

If Connecting to a 4-Wire System

This range is manufactured with the ground connected to
the cabinet. The ground must be revised so the green
ground wire of the 4-wire power supply cord is connected
to the cabinet. See "Four Conductor Wire Connection to
Range" on page 4.

When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used
(see Figure 1), a matching U.L.-listed, 4-wire, 250 volt,
40 ampere range power supply cord (pigtail) must be
used. This cord contains 4 copper conductors with ring
terminals at the appliance end, terminating in a NEMA
Type 14-50P plug on the supply end. The fourth (ground)

Electrical Connection to the Range

This appliance is manufactured with the neutral terminal
connected to the frame.

1. Three Conductor Wire Connection to Range

(The 3-conductor cord or cable must be replaced
with a 4-conductor cord or cable where grounding
through the neutral conductor is prohibited in mew
installations, mobile homes, recreational vehicles
or in other areas where local codes do not permit
neutral grounding.)

If local codes permit connection of the frame
grounding conductor to the neutral wire of the
copper power supply cord (see Figure 4).
A. Remove the 3 screws at the lower end of the rear

wire cover, then raise the lower end of the rear
wire cover (access cover) upward to expose range
terminal connection block (see Figure 3).

conductor must be identifi ed 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 4 feet long.

The minimum conductor sizes for the copper 4-wire
power cord are:
40 ampere circuit
2 No. 8 conductors
1 No. 10 white neutral
1 No. 8 green ground
