Power Supply Cord Installation
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the
power supply cord plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This range is manufactured with the neutral terminal connected to
the cabinet. Use a 3-wire, UL listed, 40- or 50-amp power supply
cord (pigtail); or if local codes do not permit ground through the
neutral, use a 4-wire power supply cord rated at 250 volts, 40- or
50-amps and investigated for use with ranges.
1. Remove the knockout for the 40- or 50-amp power supply
cord.
2. Assemble a UL listed strain relief in the opening.
3. Insert the power supply cord through the strain relief, allowing
enough slack to easily attach the wiring to the terminal block.
4. Connect the terminals (ring-type or spade with upturned ends)
on the end of the power cord to the power supply.
5. Complete electrical connection according to your type
electrical supply (4-wire or 3-wire electrical connection).
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. Remove the ground-link screw from the range frame. Save the
ground link screw and cup washer. Bend the ground-link away
from the range so that it does not contact the range.
2. Connect the green ground wire from the power supply cord to
the range using the ground-link screw and cup washer. The
ground wire must be attached first and must not contact any
other terminal.
3. Use a ¼" nut driver to remove the hex washer head screws
from the terminal blocks.
4. Connect the neutral (center) wire to the center terminal
connector using one of the hex washer head screws. Securely
tighten screw for proper electrical connection.
5. Connect the other 2 wires (lines 1 and 2) to the outer
aluminum terminal blocks.
6. Securely tighten screws for proper electrical connection.
7. Tighten strain relief screws.
8. Replace terminal block cover.
9. Plug in range or reconnect power.
