WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn power supply off before connecting
wires.
Use 8-gauge solid copper wire.
Electrically ground the range.
Failure to follow these instructions can re-
sult in death, fire, or electrical shock.
INSTALLATION HIGHLIGHTS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A four-wire or three-wire, single-phase, 120/
240-volt, 60-Hz; 50-amp, AC-only, electrical
supply (or four-wire or three-wire 120/208-volt
if specified on the model/serial rating plate) is
required on a separate 50-ampere circuit, fused
on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or
circuit breaker is recommended. The model/
serial rating plate is located on the oven frame
behind the storage drawer panel (see page v).
Wire sizes and connections must conform to
the requirements of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70—latest edition*, and all
local codes and ordinances for the kilowatt rat-
ing of the range.
This range should be connected directly to the
fused disconnect or circuit breaker box through
flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, cop-
per cable (with ground wire). Locate the junc-
tion box to allow two to three feet of slack in
the line so that the range can be moved if ser-
vicing is ever necessary. Do Not cut the con-
duit. A U.L.-listed conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply cable
(at the range and at the junction box).
This range is manufactured with a white (neu-
tral) power wire and a cabinet-connected bare
ground wire twisted together.
Remove the junction box cover.
Connect the range cable to the junction box
through a U.L.-listed conduit connector. Com-
plete the electrical connection according to lo-
cal codes and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire
is used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the ground path
and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are
not sure whether the range is properly
grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground
circuit.
The range must be connected with copper
wire only.
Wiring diagrams are provided in Section 7 of
this Job Aid. * National Fire Protection Association

If connecting to a four wire electrical sys-
tem, do not connect the cabinet-ground
conductor to the white (neutral) junction
box wire (see Figure 2-2).
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Separate the green, (or bare), and the
white appliance cable wires.
3. Connect the white range cable wire to the
white (neutral) wire in the junction box.
4. Connect the two black wires together with
a twist-on connector.
5. Connect the two red wires together with a
twist-on connector.
6. Connect the green range wire to the green
ground wire in the junction box.
7. Replace the junction box cover.
Where local codes permit connecting the
cabinet-ground conductor to the white
(neutral) junction box wire (Figure 2-1):
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove the junction box cover.
3. Connect the green and white range cable
wires and the white (neutral) wire in the
junction box together with a twist-on con-
nector.
4. Connect the two black wires together with
a twist-on connector.
5. Connect the two red wires together with a
twist-on connector.
6. Replace the junction box cover.
Where local codes do not permit connect-
ing the cabinet-ground conductor to the
white (neutral) junction box wire (Figure
2-2):
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Separate the green and white appliance
cable wires.
3. Connect the white range cable wire to the
white (neutral) wire in the junction box with
a twist-on connector.
4. Connect the two black wires together with
a twist-on connector.
5. Connect the two red wires together with a
twist-on connector.
6. Connect the green or bare ground wire
from the range cable to a ground wire in
the junction box.
7. Replace the junction box cover.
