Installation instructions
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not
existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.
When installing an electric range in new construction, follow Steps 2 and 3 for 4-wire
connection.
You must use a 3-wire or 4-wire, single-phase A.C. 240 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system.
If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a licensed
electrician install an approved outlet.
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be
provided with ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required.
A 50 amp range cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with
nominal 1⅜" diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and
strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.
• Because range terminals are not accessible after range is in position, flexible service
conduit or cord must be used.
NOTE
If conduit is being used, go to

ALL NEW BRANCH-CIRCUIT CONSTRUCTIONS, MOBILE HOMES, RECREATIONAL
VEHICLES AND INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO NOT ALLOW
GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL, REQUIRE A 4-CONDUCTOR UL-LISTED RANGE
CORD.
