This appliance must be connected to the proper
electrical voltage and frequency as specified on
nameplate. A separate 40 ampere circuit is
required. Fuse both sides of the line. DO NOT
fuse the neutral. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. Wire sizes must
conform to the requirements of the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-l 984 and/or local
codes and ordinances. The nameplate is located
on the front frame of the oven behind the door.
All wires ending at the appliance must terminate
in ring type terminals.
All power cords and cables to appliance must be
fitted with a UL approved strain relief.
The range should be connected with copper wire
only. Aluminum wire requires special connectors.
Improper use may create a fire hazard.
Appliance may be connected directly to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible
armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable.
Do not use an extension cord. Allow 4 feet (min.)
slack so appliance can be moved for servicing.
Wire sizes must conform to the ampere rating of
the range. See paragraph B-l above.

WARNING:
THE TERMINAL BLOCK ON THE
APPLIANCE ACCEPTS COPPER WIRE ONLY,
NOT ALUMINUM. IF ALUMINUM HOUSE
WIRING MUST BE CONNECTED, USE ONE OF
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES:
l
Connect copper wire to the range terminal
block (use ring terminals).
l
Attach special ring connectors to the
aluminum house wiring that are UL listed
and designed for joining copper to
aluminum. These special ring connectors
(available at electrical supply houses) can be
attached directly to the range terminal block.
l
The connectors must conform to the ampere
rating of the range as stated in paragraph
B-i.
7. If local codes permit, your range may be
connected with a three wire flexible type, UL listed
“pigtail” power cord of the proper ampere rating?
Plug must match a 3-wire NEMA type lo-50R
receptacle (shown below).

CAUTION:
FOR MOBILE HOME USE, A 4-WIRE
POWER CORD MUST BE USED. This appliance
is manufactured with ground connected to frame.
This must be revised so green grounding wire of 4-
wire power cord is connected to frame.
If using a 4-wire NEMA type 14-50R receptacle
(shown above) you must use a matching 4-wire
UL listed “pigtail” power cord. Cord should be
type SRD or SRDT, at least 4 feet long with all
conductors ending in ring terminals at the
appliance.

CONDUCTOR SIZE..
(4-WIRE COPPER POWER CORD)
For 40 ampere circuits: two No. 8 conductors, one
No. 10 white neutral, and one No. 8 green ground.
*CAUTION:
Power Cord Requirements-Only
a power supply cord kit rated at 240 volts, 50
amperes and investigated for use with ranges
shall be used.
