4-Wire Connection: Direct Wire
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. 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.
2. Pull the wires through the strain relief on bottom of range.
Allow enough slack to easily attach wiring to the terminal
block.

3. Attach terminal lugs to line 1 (black), neutral (white), and line 2
(red) wires. Loosen (do not remove) the setscrew on the front
of the terminal lug and insert exposed wire end through
bottom of terminal lugs. Securely tighten setscrew to torque as
shown in the following Bare Wire Torque Specifications chart.

Bare Wire Torque Specifications
Attaching terminal lugs to the terminal block - 20 lbs-in
(2.3 N-m).
Wire Awg Torque
8 gauge copper 25 lbs-in (2.8 N-m)
6 gauge aluminium 35 lbs-in (4.0 N-m)
4. Use a hex or Phillips screwdriver to connect the bare (green)
ground wire to the range with the ground-link screw and
ground-link section. The ground wire must be attached over
the ground-link section and must not contact any other
terminal.
5. Use 3/8" (1.0 cm) 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. Using a torque wrench, tighten the hex nuts to a
recommended torque of 20 in-lbs (2.3 N-m).
8. Firmly tighten hex nuts.
IMPORTANT: Verify the tightness of the hex nuts. Ensure all
harnesses are tightened to the terminal block and are not
loose.
9. Replace lower access cover.
