Connecting the Power Cord / Conduit

The rear access cover a must be removed. Loosen the two screws with a screwdriver. The terminal block will then be accessible.

Use the cord/conduit connection plate b to install the power cord or conduit. Leave the connection plate as installed for power cord installations. Remove the connection plate for conduit installations and rotate it to use the smaller 1 1/8 in. (2.8 cm) conduit hole c instead of the 1 3/8 in. (3.5 cm) power cord hole d.

For power cord e installations, hook the strain relief over the 1 3/8 in. (3.5 cm) power cord hole located below the rear of the oven. Insert the power cord through the strain relief and tighten it.

For conduit installations, insert the conduit strain relief in the 1 1/8 in. (2.8 cm) conduit hole. Then install the conduit through the body of the strain relief and fasten the strain relief with its ring.

3-Wire Connection: Power Cord

Warning

  • The white middle (neutral or ground) wire of a 3-wire power cord or a 3-wire conduit has to be connected to the middle post of the main terminal block. The remaining two wires of the power cord or conduit have to be connected to the outside posts of the main terminal connection block. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock, severe personal injury or death.

  • If screws are not tightened securely, it can result in electrical spark and severe personal injury or death.

  • For power cord installations, hook the strain relief over the power cord hole (1 3/8") located below the rear of the oven.

  • Insert the power cord through the strain relief and tighten it.

    Caution

    • Do not install the power cord without a strain relief.

  • Remove the lower 3 screws from the terminal block and retain them.

  • Insert the 3 screws through each power cord terminal ring and into the lower terminals of the terminal block.

    • Make sure that the white center wire is connected to the center lower position of the terminal block.

  • Tighten the 3 screws securely into the terminal block.

    Caution

    • Do not remove the ground strap connections.

4-Wire Connection: Power Cord

Warning

  • Only a 4-conductor power-supply cord kit rated 120/240 volts, 50 amperes and marked for use with ranges with closed-loop connectors or opened spade lugs with upturned ends must be used. The white middle (neutral) wire of the power cord or 4-wire conduit has to be connected to the middle post of the main terminal block. The other two wires of the power cord or conduit have to be connected to the outside posts of the main terminal connection block. The 4th ground wire (green) must be connected to the frame of the range with the ground screw. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock, severe personal injury or death.

  • If screws are not tightened securely, it can result in electrical spark and severe personal injury or death.

  • For power cord installations, hook the strain relief over the power cord hole (1 3/8") located below the rear of the oven.

  • Insert the power cord through the strain relief and tighten it.

    Caution

    • Do not install the power cord without a strain relief.

  • Remove the lower 3 screws from the terminal block and retain them.

  • Remove the ground screw and bend the end of the ground strap up so the slot is over the hole of the center screw removed in step 3.

  • Insert the ground screw into the power cord ground wire (green) terminal ring and secure it to the range frame.

  • Insert the 3 screws through each power cord terminal ring and into the lower terminals of the terminal block.

    • Make sure that the white center (neutral) wire is connected to the center lower position of the terminal block.

  • Tighten the 3 screws securely into the terminal block.

    • The center screw now attaches the bent up ground strap to the block.

Conduit Installations
Caution

  • Do not install the conduit without a strain relief.

  • Remove the cord/conduit connection plate from the rear of the oven and rotate it.

    • The conduit hole (1 1/8") must be used.

  • Prepare the conduit wires as shown below.

    1. Cord/Conduit connection plate

  • Install the conduit strain relief.

    1. Insert the strain relief in the 1 1/8 in. (2.8 cm) conduit hole.

    2. Install the conduit through the body of the strain relief and fasten the strain relief with its ring.

    Note

    • For conduit installations, purchase a strain relief.

  • Reinstall the cord/conduit connection plate.

Conduit Connections

If the wire in the conduit is copper it must be 8 or 10 AWG wiring.

If the wire in the conduit is aluminum it must be 6 or 8 AWG wiring.

  • Loosen the lower 3 screws from the terminal block.

  • Insert the bare wire (white/neutral) end through the center terminal block opening. Do not remove the ground strap connections.

  • Insert the two side bare wire ends into the lower left and the lower right terminal block openings.

  • Tighten the 3 screws securely into the terminal block. (approximately 35 - 50 IN-LB)
