connecting the power
STEP 1. MEETING ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION
CAUTION For personal safety, do not use an extension cord
with this appliance. Remove the house fuse or open the circuit breaker before
beginning installation.
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage
and frequency, and be 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 drawer on the oven frame. (Fig. 1 or
Fig. 2)
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
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
Eective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new
construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric
range.
When installing an electric range in new construction, follow Steps 2 and 3
for a 4-wire connection.
You must use a 3-wire or 4-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt,
60 hertz electrical system.
If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a
licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be
provided with ring terminals on the wire and a strain relief device.
(Fig. 1)
(Fig. 2)

Manual Install_NE58H9970WS_AA_AC_DG68-00594A-00_EN.indd 8 15/05/2014 10:13:39

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 13⁄8” 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.
• Because range terminals are not accessible after the range is in position, a flexible
service conduit or cord must be used.
NOTE If conduit is being used, go to Step 4 on page 12.
ALL NEW BRANCH-CIRCUIT CONSTRUCTIONS, MOBILE HOMES,
RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, AND INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL
CODES DO NOT ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL,
REQUIRE A 4-CONDUCTOR UL-LISTED RANGE CORD.
STEP 2. ACCESSING THE POWER CORD CONNECTION
Loosen and then remove the rear access cover screw with a screwdriver. Remove
the rear access cover by lifting it up and then out. The terminal block will then be
accessible.
