WARNING
•
The white middle (neutral) wire of the power
cord or 4-wire conduit has to be connected
to the middle post of the main terminal
block. The other two wires of the power
cord or conduit have to be connected to
the outside posts of the main terminal
connection block. The 4th ground wire
(green) must be connected to the frame of
the range with the ground screw. Failure
to do so can result in electrical shock, severe
personal injury or death.

Follow the instructions for installing the conduit
under 3-Wire Connection: Conduit until the strain
relief and bracket are installed. Do not install the
conduit without a strain relief.

Loosen the 2 lower left and right screws from
the terminal block. Remove the lower 2 center
screws. Do not discard any screws.

the ground strap up so the slot is over the hole
of the center screw removed in step 1.

Attach the ground (green) bare wire end to
the range frame and secure it in place with the
ground screw.

Insert the bare wire (white/neutral) end through the
center terminal block opening. The center screw
