4. Use a Phillips screwdriver to connect the green ground wire
from the power supply cord to the range with the ground-link
screw and ground-link section. The ground wire must be
attached first.
5. Use ³⁄₈" nut driver to connect the neutral (white) wire to the
center terminal block post with one of the 10–32 hex nuts.

6. Connect line 2 (red) and line 1 (black) wires to the outer
terminal block posts with 10-32 hex nuts.
7. Securely tighten hex nuts.
NOTE: For power supply cord replacement, use only a power
cord rated at 250 volts minimum, 40 amps or 50 amps that is
marked for use with nominal 1³⁄₈" (3.5 cm) diameter
connection opening, with ring terminals and marked for use
with ranges.
8. Tighten strain relief screws.
9. Replace terminal block access cover.
3-wire connection: Power Supply Cord
Use this method only if local codes permit connecting chassis
ground conductor to neutral wire of power supply cord.
1. Feed the power supply cord through the strain relief on the
cord/conduit plate on bottom of range. Allow enough slack to
easily attach the wiring to the terminal block.

Direct Wire Installation: Copper or Aluminum Wire
This range may be connected directly to the fuse disconnect or
circuit breaker box. Depending on your electrical supply, make
the required 3-wire or 4-wire connection.
1. Strip outer covering back 3" (7.6 cm) to expose wires. Strip
the insulation back ³⁄₈" (1.0 cm) from the end of each wire.
2. Allow enough slack in the wire to easily attach the wiring
terminal block.
3. Complete electrical connection according to your type of
electrical supply (4-wire or 3-wire connection).
4-wire Connection: Direct Wire
Use this method for:
New branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC)
Mobile homes
Recreational vehicles
