Power Supply Cord Installation
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the
power supply cord plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This range is manufactured with the neutral terminal connected
to the cabinet. Use a 3-wire, UL listed, 40-amp power supply
cord (pigtail); or if local codes do not permit ground through the
neutral, use a 4-wire power supply cord rated at 250 volts,
40 amps and investigated for use with ranges.
4. Remove the knockout for the 40-amp power supply cord.
