3-WIRE INSTALLATION (GROUND IS THROUGH THE
NEUTRAL WIRE)
WARNING
Shock Hazard
The neutral wire and ground strap must be
connected as shown below for the range to be
properly grounded. Do not remove the ground strap.
Failure follow this instruction may result in potential
shock hazard.
WARNING
Fire hazard
Terminal block screws must be securely tightened.
Failure to do so may result in potential fire hazard.
FOR POWER CORD INSTALLATION
A.
Remove the 3 lower screws from the terminal
block. Do not loosen the upper screws.
B.
Do not cut or remove the ground strap.
C.
Insert the 3 screws through each power cord
terminal ring and back into the terminal block. Be
certain the white wire is in the center. Securely
tighten each screw (35 to 50 in-lbs.)
FOR CONDUIT INSTALLATION
A.
Loosen the 3 lower screws on the terminal block. Do
not loosen the upper screws.
B.
Do not cut or remove the ground strap.
C.
Insert the bare wire tip (insulation stripped 5/8”) into the
bottom terminal block openings. Be certain the white
wire is in the center. On certain models, the wire must
be inserted through an opening in the ground strap.
Securely tighten each screw onto each wire (35 to 50
in-lbs.).
D.
Reinstall terminal block cover.
NOTE:
Aluminum building wire may be used but it must
be rated for the correct amperage and voltage.
PROCEED TO STEP 8.

4-WIRE INSTALLATION (SEPARATE GROUND WIRE)
WARNING
The neutral wire of
the supply circuit must be connected to the
neutral terminal located in the lower center
of the terminal block. The power leads must
be connected to the lower left and the lower
right terminals of the terminal block. The
grounding lead must be connected to the
frame of the range with the ground plate and
the green ground screw.
FOR POWER CORD INSTALLATION
A.
Remove the 3 lower screws from the
terminal block. Do not loosen the upper
screws.
B.
Remove the ground screw and ground plate
and retain them.
C.
Cut the ground strap below the terminal
block and discard the lower section.
D.
Insert the ground screw through the ground
plate (removed earlier) and back into the
range frame. Tighten securely, but do not
over-tighten (15 to 20 in-lbs.)
E.
Insert the 3 terminal screws through each
power cord terminal ring and back into the
terminal block. Be certain the white wire is
in the center. Securely tighten each screw
(35 to 50 in-lbs.
F.
Reinstall terminal block cover.
FOR CONDUIT INSTALLATION
A.
Remove the 3 lower screws from the terminal
block. Do not loosen the upper screws.
B.
Remove the ground screw and ground plate
and retain them.
C.
Cut the ground strap below the terminal block
and discard the lower section.
D.
Insert the bare ground bare wire tip (insulation
stripped 5/8”) between the range frame and the
ground plate (removed earlier) and secure it in
place with the ground screw. Tighten securely,
but do not over-tighten (15 to 20 in-lbs).
E.
Insert the wire tips (insulation stripped 5/8”) into
the bottom terminal block openings. Be certain
the white wire is in the center. On certain
models, the wire must be inserted through an
opening in the ground strap. Securely tighten
each screw onto each wire (35 to 50 in-lbs.)
