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 rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located on the frame behind a top corner of the door or either side of the drawer. Refer to the figures in "Product Dimensions" in the "Location Requirements" section.
■ This range is manufactured with the neutral terminal connected to the cabinet. Use a 3-wire, UL listed, 40- or 50-amp power supply cord (pigtail) (see the following Range Rating chart). If local codes do not permit ground through the neutral, use a 4-wire power supply cord rated at 250 volts, 40 or 50 amps and investigated for use with ranges.

Range Rating* Specified Rating of
Power Supply Cord Kit and Circuit Protection

120/240 Volts 120/208 Volts Amps
8.8 - 16.5 KW	7.8 - 12.5 KW	40 or 50**
16.6 - 22.5 KW	12.6 - 18.5 KW	50

*The NEC calculated load is less than the total connected load listed on the model/serial rating plate.

**If connecting to a 50-amp circuit, use a 50-amp rated cord with kit. For 50-amp rated cord kits, use kits that specify use with a nominal 1 18 (34.9 mm) diameter connection opening.
■ A circuit breaker is recommended.
■ The range can be connected directly to the circuit breaker box (or fused disconnect) through flexible or nonmetallic sheathed, copper or aluminum cable. See the “Electrical Connection - U.S.A. Only” section.
■ Allow 2 to 3 ft (61.0 cm to 91.4 cm) 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).
■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the range.
■ The wiring diagram is located on the Tech Sheet.
■ The Tech Sheet is located on the back of the range inside a clear plastic bag.

If connecting to a 4-wire system:

This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the neutral by a link. 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 - U.S.A. Only” section.

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- or 50-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 14-50P 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

If connecting to a 3-wire system:

Local codes may permit the use of a UL listed, 3-wire, 250-volt, 40- or 50-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.
