Terminal block is approved for copper wire connection
only, NOT aluminum wiring. If aluminum house wiring
is to be connected, the following procedure is suggested.
1.
Connect length of copper building wire to range
terminal block with ring terminals.
2.
Splice copper wires to aluminum wiring using
connectors which are design certified by Underwriter’s
Laboratories and recognized for joining copper to
aluminum. Follow the connector manufacturer’s
recommended procedure.
3.
Wire used, location and enclosure of splices must
conform to local codes.
Installing 3-Wire Power Cord
1.
Remove rear wire cover.
2.
Place strain relief (winged clamp) in cord access hole
below terminal block.
• Place wings through hole, entering from bottom.
• Screw holes in clamp should be below mounting
panel.
3.
Place cord through strain relief.
• Attach neutral (center) or white wire to center
terminal on terminal block.
4.
Attach power lead, red wire or black wire to left side
power terminal.
(Figure 5)
5.
Attach power lead, red wire or black wire to the right
side power terminal.
6.
After wires have been placed on terminals, attach
with hex nuts provided.
• Firmly tighten to ensure proper electrical
connection.
7.
Place screw through strain relief and tighten.
8.
Replace rear wire cover.
Power Cord Requirements
Power cord is not supplied with range. Power cord must
be U.L. Listed and meet NEC and Mobile Home
Manufacturers Association Standards. Cord must be
rated at a minimum 250V—50 AMP, equipped with a
plug configuration in accordance with NEMA and
conductors must end with closed loop (ring) terminals at
the range.
• Three-conductor cord plug NEMA 10-50P allowed for
residential.
• Four-conductor cord plug NEMA 14-50P required for
most mobile home installations but can be used for
residential.
NOTE: Only a power cord suitable for use with ranges may
be used. For installation in a mobile home, or area where
local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral
terminal, a 4-wire cord must be used.
Range Terminal Block
Connection block is located at bottom rear of range
behind rear cover panel.
(Figure 5)
Remove rear cover
screw. Directly below terminal block is a hole for a power
supply service cord. Power cord is not supplied with
range.
Range has been grounded at the factory to the center
(nickel plated) terminal of the terminal block in
accordance with the National Electrical Code (section
2560). When a separate ground is required by local code,
disconnect the grounding strap from the terminal block.
Ground frame by connecting a grounding wire to range
frame using only the grounding screw removed from the
grounding strap.
