Step 5: Prepare Electrical Connection
Figure 4
Install Strain Relief
Place strain relief in knockout below terminal block (See
Figure 4). Feed range cord through hole and strain relief
up to terminal block. Allow for slack in the cord between
the strain relief and terminal block. Once cord length/
slack has been adjusted, attach strain relief per
instructrionsincludedwith strainrelief.
Figure 5
TIP
The knockout panel (below the terminal block can be
removed from the range to install the strain relief:
Remove panel from range, install strain relief in panel
and re-attach. DO NOT remove entire range back
panel.

WARNING
The strain relief provided with your range cord must
be properly installed.
Verify that wiring to house is adequate.
Contactyourlocal utilitycompanyto verifythatthe
present electric service to your home is adequate. In
some instances, the size of the wiring to the house and
service switch must be increased to handle the electrical
load demanded by the range.
Verify that wiring inside house is adequate.
Mostwiring codes requirea separatecircuit with
separate disconnect switch and fuses either in the main
entrance panel or in a separate switch and fuse box.
Therange requiresa threewire 120/240or 120/208volt,
30 AMP, 60 Hz AC circuit.
Mostlocalbuildingregulations andcodesrequire that
electrical wiring be done by licensed electricians. Be
sure to install your range according to the electric codes
in place in your region.
GeneralInformation
Siemens recommends that the range be installed with a
power cord set (not supplied)*. The electrical rating of
thepowercordset mustbe120/240volt, 30amperes
minimum. The power cord set shall be marked “For Use
with Ranges.” Always use a new power cord.
Note: In Canada, the range is shipped from the factory
with the range cord already installed. Proceed to “Step
7: Installation - Connect the Gas Supply)
For installations other than those in Canada, connect
the range cord at the terminal block (See next page for
detailedinstructions). Accessthe terminalblockby
removing the cover in the lower right hand corner of the
range back panel (See Figure 4). Install the strain relief
(see next column) and the proper connector through the
knockout(s)provided.Theelectricalsupply,including
flexibleconduitor powercord, shouldberestricted tothe
shaded areas in Figure 2 (previous page)
To prevent electrical shock, the grounding
prong on the range cord should not be cut or
removedunderany circumstances. Itmustbe plugged
into a matching grounding type receptacle and
connectedto a correctly polarized 240-Volt circuit. If
there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is
properlygrounded, haveit checkedby a qualified
electrician.
5. Prepare Electrical Connection
Ranges are dual rated for use on either 120/240 VAC or
120/208VAC. See chart below for powerratings and
circuit breaker sizes based on the supply voltage for each
model.
