For power cord installations only (see
the next step if using conduit), assemble
the strain relief in the hole. Insert the
power cord through the strain relief and
tighten. Allow enough slack to easily
attach the cord terminals to the terminal
block. If tabs are present at the end of
the winged strain relief, they can be
removed for better fit.
NOTE: Do not install the power cord
without a strain relief. The strain relief
bracket should be installed before
reinstalling the rear range wiring cover.
Skip to Step 4 or 5.
