Installation Instructions C Electrical Connections C1 Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker. C2 Loosen screws for the junction box cover and rotate out of place or remove the cover. C3 Examine the junction box location to determine the best routing of the conduit, and select the best available 7/8" diameter knockout. Avoid using holes in the top of the junction box to prevent the conduit from interfering with the back of the range. C4 Break open the selected knockout by placing a bladed screwdriver on the scored opening in the junction box and striking the screwdriver with a hammer. (Pliers may be required to complete the removal of the knockout.) WARNING: Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to copper leads can result in an electrical hazard or fire. Use only connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.

NO CONDUCTOR SHALL BE EXPOSED IN THE CONNECTION. THE EXCEPTION TO THE CONDUCTOR BEING EXPOSED IS THE BARE COPPER GROUND CONNECTION. 7/8" Knockout Cover Rotated From Box Opening C5 Position the range in front of the opening, but slightly to the side, in a manner so that a person can enter the opening to wire the range to the house wiring in the junction box.
