Electrical Connection

To properly install your range, you must determine the type of 
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions 
provided for it here.

Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage 
and frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating 
plate. The model/serial number rating plate is located on the 
oven frame behind the storage drawer panel. Refer to the 
figures in the “Product Dimensions” section of the “Location 
Requirements” section.

This range is manufactured with the neutral terminal 
connected to the cabinet. Use a 3-wire, UL listed, 40- or 
50-amp power supply cord (pigtail) (see Range Rating chart 
below). If local codes do not permit ground through the 
neutral, use a 4-wire power supply cord rated at 250 volts, 
40 or 50 amps and investigated for use with ranges.

*The NEC calculated load is less than the total connected load 

listed on the model/serial rating plate.

**If connecting to a 50-amp circuit, use a 50-amp rated cord with 

kit. For 50-amp rated cord kits, use kits that specify use with a 
nominal 1

³⁄₈

" (34.9 mm) diameter connection opening.

A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

The range can be connected directly to the fused disconnect 
(or circuit breaker box) through flexible or nonmetallic 
sheathed, copper or aluminum cable. See “Electrical 
Connection.”

Allow 2 to 3 ft (61.0 cm to 91.4 cm) of slack in the line so that 
the range can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

A UL listed conduit connector must be provided at each end 
of the power supply cable (at the range and at the junction 
box).

Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of 
the range.

The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range or 
inside the storage drawer in a clear plastic bag.

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 
“Electrical Connection.”

Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new 
branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; and 
recreational vehicles, or an area where local codes prohibit 
grounding through the neutral conductor.

When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used, a 
matching UL listed, 4-wire, 250-volt, 40- or 50-amp, range power 
supply cord (pigtail) must be used. This cord contains 4 copper 
conductors with ring terminals or open-end spade terminals with 
upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 14-50R 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 UL listed strain relief 
and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long.

The minimum conductor sized for the copper 4-wire power 
cord are:

40-amp circuit
2 No.-8 conductors
1 No.-10 white neutral
1 No.-8 green grounding

If connecting to a 3-wire system:

Local codes may permit the use of a UL listed, 3-wire, 250-volt, 
40- or 50-amp range power supply cord (pigtail). This cord 
contains 3 copper conductors with ring terminals or open-end 
spade terminals with upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 
10-50P plug on the supply end. Connectors on the appliance end 
must be provided at the point the power supply cord enters the 
appliance. This uses a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-50R.
