40" ELECTRIC RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Direct Electrical Connection to the Circuit
Breaker, Fuse Box or Junction Box
If the appliance is connected directly to the circuit
breaker, fuse box or junction box, use fl exible, armored
or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable (with grounding
wire). Supply a U.L. listed strain-relief at each end of
the cable. At the appliance end, the cable goes through
the Direct Connection Hole (see Figure 5) on the Cord
Mounting Plate. Wire sizes (copper wire only) and
connections must conform to the rating of the appliance.
Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire
(see Figure 5):
1. Be sure that no power is supplied on the cable from
residence.
2. Remove the grounding strap from the terminal block
and from the appliance frame.
3. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
a) Connect the green (or bare copper) wire, the white
appliance cable wire, and the neutral (white) wire
together.
b) Connect the 2 black wires together.
c) Connect the 2 red wires together.
