BEFORE YOU START INSTALLING Electrical requirements A WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard The range can be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker box) through flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper cable (with grounding wire). Allow two to three feet of slack in the line so that it can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. A U.L. listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the range and at the junction box). Wire sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) and connections must conform with the rating of the range (40-amperes). k The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range. Electrically ground this range. Failure to ground can result in death or electrical shock. Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the range is properly grounded. If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the grounding path is adequate. Power supply cord is not supplied, but is available through your local electrical supply house. Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as specified on the model/serial rating plate. (The model/serial rating plate is located under the cooktop). VI CONNECT WITH COPPER WIRE ONLY. 1 A three-wire or 4-wire, single-phase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, electrical supply (or three-wire or four-wire 120/208 volt if specified on the model/ serial rating plate) is required on a separate, 40-ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Local codes may permit the use of a U.L.-listed, 250-volt, 40-ampere range power supply cord (pigtail). This cord contains three, No.-10 copper wires and matches a three-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-50R, shown in Figure 1. Connectors on the appliance end must be provided at the point the power supply cord enters the appliance. If connecting to a four wire system: This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the cabinet. This ground must be revised so the green grounding wire of the four-wire power supply cord is connected to the cabinet. See "Special grounding instructions for 4-wire system" section, Page 22. When a four-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used (see Figure 2), a matching U.L.-listed, four-wire, 250-volt, 40-ampere, range power supply cord (pigtail) must be used. This cord contains four copper conductors with ring terminals at the appliance end, terminating in a NEMA Type 14-50P plug on the supply end. The fourth (grounding) conductor must be identified by a green or green/yellow cover and the neutral conductor by a white cover. Cord should be Type SRD or SRDT with a U.L. listed strain relief and be at least four feet long. The MINIMUM conductor sizes for the copper fourwire power cord are: 40-ampere circuit 2, No.-8 conductors 1, No.-10 white neutral 1, No.-8 green grounding 3-wire wall receptacle (10-50R) Figure 1 QG xp Ow 4-wire wall receptacle (14-50R) Figure 2 - 20 -
