4\_ Preparing to install the range
connecting the power
STEP 1. MEETING ELECTRICAL CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION
For personal safety, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and 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:

Effective 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 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 wire and a strain relief device.
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 1 ^3/8 " 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 range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord must be used.
NOTE
If conduit is being used, go to Step 4 on page 9.
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
Remove the rear access cover and loosen the screw with a screwdriver. The terminal block will then be accessible.
Specified power-supply-cord kit rating
| Range rating, watts | Specified rating of power-supply-cord kit, amperes | Diameter (inches) of range connection opening |
| 120/240 volts 3-wire | Power cord | Conduit |
| 8,750 - 16,500 | 40 or 50A | 1^3/_8" | 1^1/_8" |
STEP 3. INSTALLING THE POWER CORD
For power cord installations, hook the strain relief over the power cord hole ( 1^3/8 ) located below the rear of the drawer body. Insert the power cord through the strain relief and tighten the device.
- You must install the power cord with a strain relief.
- Attach the strain relief to the 1^3/8 opening in conduit connection plate.
