CONNECTING THE POWER
Step 1. Meeting Electrical Connection Requirements
CAUTION
For personal safety, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as
specified on the rating plate. The rating plate is located on the right of oven door.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main range disconnect is
located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area.
Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are
no local codes, your range must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70–Latest Edition.
Effective January 1,1996, the National Electrical Codere quires that new construction (not existing)
utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.
When installing an electric range in new construction, follow Steps for 4-wire connection.
You must use a 3-wire or 4-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical
system.
If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a licensed electrician
install an approved outlet.
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords maybe provided with ring
terminals on wire and a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord is
not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with no minal 13⁄8" diameter connection
openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knock out hole to keep the
edge from damaging the cable.
NOTE
This appliance is manufactured ready to be installed with a 4-wire cord set.
Step 2. Power Cord
1. Remove the rear terminal block cover and loosen the 6 screws with a screwdriver. The
terminal block will then be accessible. Do not discard these screws.
