screws from the terminal block and the
ground screw and plate.
Place the terminal screws and ground
screw in safe location for later use.
Loosen the strain relief screws and remove
the power cord.

Installation of the range.
Using an Existing NEMA 14-50R Receptacle
Plug the range power cord into a properly
grounded wall receptacle. Skip to Step 6 if the
range power cord matches the wall receptacle.
NOTE: Your range is shipped with a 4-prong plug
to be used in a NEMA 14-50R receptacle. Should
you choose to change your plug, use only a 3-
wire power cord, 3-wire conduit or 4-wire
conduit. Follow the appropriate instructions
below, in Step 5, for your application.
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electric Code
requires that new construction (not existing)utilize a
4-conductor connection to an electric range.
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 nominal 1
3
8 diameter
connection openings. Care should be taken
to center the cable and strain relief within the
knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging
the cable.
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.
Skip to Step 5 if the power cord shipped on the range does not match your
wall receptacle.
