“Complete the installation” on page 11.
For installations other than those in Canada, connect
the range cord at the terminal block. Access the ter-
minal block by removing the cover in the lower right
hand corner of the range back panel.
Install strain relief

warnIng
The strain relief provided with your range cord must
be properly installed.
Strain reliefs vary. Carefully read and follow the inst-
ructions included with your strain relief.
1. In the knockout panel below the terminal block,
remove the knockout that fits your strain relief.
2. Feed range cord through hole and strain relief up
to terminal block. Allow for slack in the cord bet-
ween the strain relief and terminal block.
3. Once cord length/slack has been adjusted, attach
strain relief per instructions included with strain

warnIng
Risk of Electric Shock or Fire. Frame grounded to
neutral through a ground strap. Grounding through
the neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch-
circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, and
recreational vehicles, or in an area where local codes
prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor.
For installations where grounding through the neu-
tral conductor is prohibited, (a) disconnect the link
from the neutral, (b) use grounding terminal or lead
to ground unit, (c) connect neutral terminal to lead
branch circuit neutral in usual manner (when the
appliance is to be connected by means of a cord kit,
use 4-conductor cord for this purpose).
Use only cord kits rated 125/250 volts (minimum),
30 amperes and labeled “For Use with Ranges”.
Strain relief provided with cord must be installed per
instructions included with cord.
,
warnIng
To prevent electrical shock, the grounding prong on
the range cord should not be cut or removed under
any circumstances. It must be plugged into a mat-
ching grounding type receptacle and connected to
a correctly polarized 240- Volt circuit. If there is any
doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly
grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
