24" ELECTRIC RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Direct Electrical Connection to the Circuit Breaker, Fuse Box or Junction Box If the appliance is connected directly to the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box, use flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable (with grounding wire). Supply a U.L. listed strain-relief at each end of the cable. At the appliance end, the cable goes through the Direct Connection Hole (see Figure 9) on the Cord Mounting Plate. Wire sizes (copper wire only) and connections must conform to the rating of the appliance. Where local codes permit connecting the appliancegrounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire (see Figure 10): 1. Be sure that no power is supplied on the cable from residence. 2. Follow instructions on previous page for Four Conductor Wire Connection to Range (Fig. 9). 3. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box (Fig. 10): a) Connect the green (or bare copper) wire, the white appliance cable wire, and the neutral (white) wire together. b) Connect the 2 black wires together. c) Connect the 2 red wires together.

24" ELECTRIC RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Direct Electrical Connection to the Circuit Breaker,
Fuse Box or Junction Box
If the appliance is connected directly to the circuit
breaker, fuse box or junction box, use flexible, armored
or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable (with grounding
wire). Supply a U.L. listed strain-relief at each end of
the cable. At the appliance end, the cable goes through
the Direct Connection Hole (see Figure 9) on the Cord
Mounting Plate. Wire sizes (copper wire only) and
connections must conform to the rating of the appliance.
Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire (see
Figure 10):
1. Be sure that no power is supplied on the cable from
residence.
2. Follow instructions on previous page for Four
Conductor Wire Connection to Range (Fig. 9).
3. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box (Fig. 10):
a) Connect the green (or bare copper) wire, the white
appliance cable wire, and the neutral (white) wire
together.
b) Connect the 2 black wires together.
c) Connect the 2 red wires together.
