Making the Electrical Connection
Remove the wire cover (on the back of the
range) by removing 5 screws using a 1/4” nut
driver. Do not discard these screws.
B2
All new constructions, mobile
homes and installations where
local codes do not allow
grounding through neutral.
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 above the storage drawer
on the oven frame.
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. You can
get a copy by writing:
National Fire Protection Association
Battery March Park
Quincy, MA 02269
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical
Code requires that new, but not existing,
construction utilize a 4 conductor connection to
an electric range. When installing an electric
range in new construction, follow the instructions
in the section on NEW CONSTRUCTION AND
FOUR CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT
CONNECTION.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C.
208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical
system. If you connect to aluminum wiring,
properly installed connectors approved for use
with aluminum wiring must be used.

When reinstalling the one-piece wire
cover, make sure that wires do not
become pinched between wire cover
and mainback.
These will require a four-wire flexible cord kit. If
the range is rated between 8,750 and 16,500
watts, the cord kit must be rated for 40 amps-
125/250 volts. If the range is rated between
16,501 and 22,500 watts, the cord kit must be
rated for 50 amps-125/250 volts. For existing
construction, a three wire flexible cord kit may
be used, and the same ratings apply as de-
scribed above.
• When using a cord kit rated 40 Amps, remove
the knockout in the connection plate. You
must use a clamp or strain relief to hold the
cord.
• Terminations must be either closed loop
terminals or open end spade lugs.
• On some models, a filter capacitor may be
connected between the black and white leads
on the junction block.
