Remove house fuse or open circuit
breaker.
Loosen screws for the junction box cover
and rotate out of place or remove the
cover.
Examine the junction box location to
determine the best routing of the conduit,
and select the best available
7/8” diameter knockout. Avoid using
holes in the top of the junction box to
prevent the conduit from interfering
with the back of the range.
Break open the selected knockout by
placing a bladed screwdriver on the
scored opening in the junction box and
striking the screwdriver with a hammer.
(Pliers may be required to complete the
removal of the knockout.)
