Connect the neutral (center wire) wire to the center, silver-colored terminal screw on the terminal block using the brass nuts that are attached to the terminal block cover. silver-colored terminal block screw line 1 U.L.-listed strain relief and 40 amp range power supply cord Use this method only if local codes permit connecting cabinet-ground conductor to neutral wire of power supply cord. 7. Use the brass terminal nuts attached to the terminal block cover to connect the neutral wire (center wire) to the silver-colored terminal screw on the terminal block. 8. Connect the other two wires to outer terminal screws on the terminal block. 9. Do not loosen factory-installed nuts already on the terminal.

Use this method for new installations,
mobile homes, recreational vehicles,
and whenever four-wire installation is
required.
7. Remove the ground-link screw from
the range frame. Save the ground-
link screw. Bend up the ground link
so that it does not contact the range.

9.
Connect the neutral (center wire)
wire to the center, silver-colored
terminal screw on the terminal block
using the brass nuts that are
attached to the terminal block cover.
8. Connect the green ground wire from
power supply cord to the range using
the ground-link screw. The ground
wire must be attached first and must
not contact any other terminal.

7. Use the brass terminal nuts attached
to the terminal block cover to
connect the neutral wire (center
wire) to the silver-colored terminal
screw on the terminal block.
8.
Connect the other two wires to
outer terminal screws on the
terminal block.
9.
Do not loosen factory-installed nuts
already on the terminal. Tighten
nuts with 3/8" nut driver for proper
electrical connection.
10. Tighten the strain relief screws.
11. Reinstall the terminal block cover.

1. Disconnect power.
2. Remove the knockout for the power
supply cable.
3. Assemble a U.L.-listed conduit
connector in the opening.
This range may be connected directly to
the fuse disconnect or circuit breaker box;
or with a U.L.-listed, 40 amp range power
5. Allow enough slack in the wire to
easily attach the wiring to the terminal
block.
6. Use 3/8" nut driver and remove the
outside nuts on the terminal block
screws. Do not loosen the factory-
tightened nuts behind the outside nuts.
