Installation Guide

14
• Using an extension cord to connect the power is prohibited. Connect the
power cord and plug directly.
• Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the range.
• If using a GFI breaker, the ground wire must be installed correctly to
prevent breaker from tripping. Refer to latest edition of the NEC, NFPA
No. 70, available from the National Fire Protection Association.
• The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range.
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.
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.
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.
