THREE-WIRE CONDUIT CONNECTION
1. Remove the access plate to gain access
to the electrical junction box.
2. Install the three-wire range conduit and
an appropriate strain relief clamp
through the hole in the junction box.
3. Use an appropriate insulated wire
connector to connect the red and black
wires from the range conduit to the
corresponding red and black leads from
the branch circuit.
4. Connect the green (ground) and white
(neutral) wires from the range conduit to
the white (neutral) lead from the branch
circuit in like manner.
5. Secure the strain relief clamp around the
conduit and tighten the nut against the
wall of the junction box.
6. Tuck all wire leads into the junction
box and replace the access plate
removed earlier in step 1.
If local codes do not allow grounding
through the neutral, refer to the
illustration below of FOUR-WIRE
CONDUIT CONNECTION.
1. Remove the access plate to gain access
to the electrical junction box.
2. Install the four-wire range conduit and
an appropriate strain relief clamp
through the hole in the junction box.
3. Use an appropriate insulated wire
connector to connect the red, black, and
white wires from the range conduit to the
corresponding red, black, and white
leads from the branch circuit,
4. Connect the green (ground) wire from
the range conduit to the grounding lead
from the branch circuit in like manner.
5. Secure the strain relief clamp around the
conduit and tighten the nut against the
wall of the junction box.
6. Tuck all wire leads into the junction
box and replace the access plate removed
earlier in step 1.
NOTE: A 4-conductor cord is to be used
when the appliance is installed in a mobile
home or when local codes do not permit
grounding through the neutral.
Effective January 1, 1996 the National Electrical
Code requires that new construction (not
existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an
electric range.
