IPower Supply Cord Kit Junction Receptacle Box or Wall Location 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), or by means of a power supply cord kit. Use only a power supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum and marked for use with ranges. Cord must have either 3 or 4 conductors. For mobile homes, new installations, recreational vehicles, or areas where local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, a 4 conductor power supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts and marked for use with ranges should be used (see Figure 4). 1. A 3-wire or 4-wire single phase 120/240 or 120/208 Volt, 60 Hz AC only electrical supply is required on a separate circuit fused on both sides of the line (time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended). DO NOT fuse neutral. The fuse size must not exceed the circuit rating of the appliance specified on the nameplate. Use a circuit breaker of 20 Amp with a minimum wire gauge #12AWG. Suggested location of the junction box or wall receptacle is showed in Figure 1. If a service cord is used, the wall receptacle should be located in accordance with the dimensions below.
