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 number rating
plate. (The model/serial number rating plate is located on the
oven frame behind the storage drawer panel.)
When a 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase 120/240 volt, 60 Hz,
AC only electrical supply is available, a 50-amp maximum
circuit protection is required (or, if specified on the model/
serial rating plate, when a 4-wire or 3-wire single phase
120/208 volt 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply is available, a
40-amp maximum circuit protection is required), fused on
both sides of the line.
• A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
If connecting to a 4-wire system:
This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the
cabinet. 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."
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 volt, 40-amp, 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 14-50R 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.
4-wire receptacle (14-50R)
The minimum conductor sized for the copper 4-wire power
cord are:
40-amp circuit
2 No.-8 conductors
1 No.-10 white neutral
1 No.-8 green grounding
The range can be connected directly to the fused disconnect
(or circuit breaker box) through flexible, armored or
nonmetallic sheathed, copper or aluminum cable. See
"Electrical Connection."
Allow 2 to 3 ft 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).
If connecting to a 3-wire system:
Local codes may permit the use of a UL listed, 3-wire,
250 volt, 40-amp 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.
• Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the range (40 amps).
• The wiring diagram is located on the underside of the storage
drawer or below the warming drawer in a clear plastic bag. 3-wire receptacle (10-50R)
