4-wire connection: Power Supply Cord
Use this method for:
■
New branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC)
■
Mobile homes
■
Recreational vehicles
■
In an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the
neutral.
1. Cut out and remove part of the metal ground strap (B).
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the ground-link screw
from the back of the range. Save the ground-link screw and
the end of the ground-link under the screw.
3. Feed the power supply cord through the strain relief on the
cord/conduit plate on bottom of range. Allow enough slack to
easily attach the wiring to the terminal block.
4. Use a Phillips screwdriver to connect the green ground wire
from the power supply cord to the range with the ground-link
screw and ground-link section. The ground wire must be
attached first.
5. Use
³⁄₈
" nut driver to connect the neutral (white) wire to the
center terminal block post with one of the 10–32 hex nuts.
6. Connect line 2 (red) and line 1 (black) wires to the outer
terminal block posts with 10-32 hex nuts.
7. Securely tighten hex nuts.
NOTE: For power supply cord replacement, use only a power
cord rated at 250 volts minimum, 40 amps or 50 amps that is
marked for use with nominal 1
³⁄₈
" (3.5 cm) diameter
connection opening, with ring terminals and marked for use
with ranges.
8. Tighten strain relief screws.
9. Replace terminal block access cover.
