24" ELECTRIC RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS When installing permanent wiring, do not leave excess wire in range compartment. Excess wire in the range compartment may not allow the rear access cover to be replaced properly and could create a potential electrical hazard if wires become pinched. Connect only as instructed under "Permanent Wire Connections" in Step 4c. When using flexible conduit or range cable use flex connector or range cable strain relief. 2.1 Electrical Connection Requirements (U.S.A. only) This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition- and local electrical code requirements. This appliance may be connected by means of permanent "Hard Wiring" or "Power Supply Cord Kit." When hard wiring, do not leave excess wire in range compartment. Excess wire in the range compartment may not allow the access cover to be replaced properly, and could create a potential electrical hazard if wires become pinched. When using flexible conduit or range cable, use flex connector or range cable strain relief. NOTE: Only use copper wire in connection to terminal block. The user is responsible for connecting the power supply cord to the connection block located behind the back panel access cover. This appliance may be connected by means of permanent "hard wiring"; flexible armored or nonmetallic shielded copper cable (when local code allow it) or by means of a power supply cord kit. NOTE: Electric slide-in range is shipped from factory with 1 1/8" (2.9 cm) dia. hole as shown on figure 9. If a larger hole is required, punch out the knockout. Risk of fire or electrical shock exists if an incorrect size range cord kit is used, the Installation Instructions are not followed, or the strain relief bracket is discarded. For mobile homes, new installation or recreational vehicles, use only a power cord kit design for a range at 125V /250V 50A recommended (minimum 40A). Cord must have either 3 (when local code permits grounding through neutral) or 4 conductors. Terminal on end of wires must be either closed loop or open spade lug with upturned ends. Cord must have strain-relief clamp. If a 50A circuit is used, a 50A power cord must be used. Do not loosen the nuts which secure the factory-installed range wiring to terminal block while connecting range. Electrical failure or loss of electrical connection may occur. Terminal Block Electrical Shock Hazard • Electrical ground is required on this appliance. • Do not connect to the electrical supply until appliance is permanently grounded. • Disconnect power to the circuit breaker or fuse box before making the electrical connection. • This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or a grounding connector should be connected to the grounding terminal or wire lead on the appliance. Failure to do any of the above could result in a fire, personal injury or electrical shock. 2.2 Models Requiring Power Supply Cord Kit Figure 7B - 3-Wire Cord Kit This appliance is manufactured with the frame grounded by connection of a grounding strap between the neutral power supply terminal and the frame. If used in USA, in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile home or recreational vehicle, where local code do not permit grounding through neutral (white) wire or in Canada; remove the grounding strap from the frame and cut the other end, near the neutral terminal. Connect the appliance in usual manner. 4
