Power supply cord method:

1.

Disconnect power.

2.

Remove the knockout for the 40 amp
power supply cord.

WARNING - Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman
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 three-wire, U.L.-listed, 40 amp
power supply cord (pigtail); or if local
codes Do not permit ground through the
neutral, use a four-wire power supply
cord rated at 250 volts, 40 amps and
investigated for use with ranges. (See
“Four-wire electrical connection.”)

5.

Use either ring-type terminals or
spade terminals with upturned ends
to connect the power supply.

6.

Complete electrical connection
according to your type electrical
supply (“Four-wire electrical
connection” or “Three-wire electrical
connection.”)

Four-wire electrical connection:

Use this method for new installations,
mobile homes, and recreational vehicles,
and whenever four-wire installation is
required.

7.  Remove the ground-link screw from

the range frame. Save the ground-link
screw. Bend the ground-link away
from the range so that it does not
contact the range. See Figure 1.

9.  Use a 1/4" nut driver and remove the

hex washer head screws from the
terminal blocks.

10. 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. See Figure 2.

11. Connect the other two wires (lines 1

and 2) to the outer aluminum
terminal blocks.  Securely tighten
screws for proper electrical
connection. See Figure 2.

12. Tighten the strain relief screws.

13. Replace the terminal block cover.

14. Plug in range or reconnect power.

Three-wire electrical
connection:

Use this method only if local codes
permit connecting cabinet-ground
conductor to neutral wire of power
supply cord.

7.

Use a 1/4" nut driver and remove the
hex washer head screws from the
aluminum terminal blocks. 

8.

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. See Figure 3.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Use new 40 amp power supply cord.

Plug into grounded outlet.

Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

WARNING

remove
knockout for 
40 amp power
cord and U.L.
listed strain
relief

opening 
for conduit
connector

3.

Assemble a U.L.-listed strain relief in
the opening. 

4.

Insert the power supply cord through
the strain relief, allowing enough
slack to easily attach the wiring to the
terminal block.

8.

Connect the green ground wire from
power supply cord to the range using
the ground-link screw. The ground
wire must be attached first and must
not contact any other terminal. See
Figure 2.
