Electrical Connection
To properly install your range, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
� Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and
frequency as specified on the model/serial/rating plate. The
model/serial/rating plate is located behind the oven door on the
top right-hand side of the oven frame.

right-hand side of the oven frame)
� This range is manufactured with the neutral terminal
connected to the cabinet. Use a 3-wire, UL listed, 40 or 50 A
power supply cord (pigtail). See the following Range Rating
chart. If local codes do not permit ground through the neutral,
use a 4-wire power supply cord rated at 250 V, 40 or 50 A and
investigated for use with ranges.

*The NEC calculated load is less than the total connected load
listed on the model/serial/rating plate.
**If connecting to a 50 A circuit, use a 50 A rated cord with kit. For
50 A rated cord kits, use kits that specify use with a nominal 1

(34.9 mm) diameter connection opening.
� A circuit breaker is recommended.
� The range can be connected directly to the circuit breaker box
(or fused disconnect) through flexible or nonmetallic sheathed,
copper or aluminum cable. See the “Electrical
Connection - U.S.A. Only” section.
� Allow at least 6 ft (182.9 cm) of slack in the line so that the
range can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.
� A UL Listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of
the power supply cable (at the range and at the junction box).
� Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the
range.
If connecting to a 3-wire system:
Local codes may permit the use of a UL listed, 3-wire, 250 V, 40 or
50 A range power supply cord (pigtail). This cord contains 3
copper conductors with ring terminals or open-end spade
terminals with upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 10-50P
plug on the supply end. Connectors on the appliance end must be
provided at the point the power supply cord enters the appliance.
This uses a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-50R.

If connecting to a 4-wire system:
This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the
neutral by a link. The ground must be revised so the green ground
wire of the 4-wire power supply cord is connected to the cabinet.
See “Electrical Connection - U.S.A. Only” section.
Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new
branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; and
recreational vehicles, or an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor.
When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used, a
matching UL listed, 4-wire, 250 V, 40 or 50 A, range power supply
cord (pigtail) must be used. This cord contains 4 copper
conductors with ring terminals or open-end spade terminals with
upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 14-50P plug on the
supply end.
The fourth (grounding) conductor must be identified by a green or
green/yellow cover and the neutral conductor by a white cover.
Cord should be Type SRD or SRDT with a UL listed strain relief
and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long.

The minimum conductor sized for the copper 4-wire power cord
are:
40 A circuit
2 No.-8 conductors
1 No.-10 white neutral
1 No.-10 green grounding
