Grounding Instructions (3-Wire Connections only): A ground strap is installed on this range which connects the center terminal of the terminal block (Neutral) to the range chassis. The ground strap is connected to the range by the center, lowest screw (See Fig. 13). The ground strap must not be removed unless National, State or Local Codes do not permit use of a ground strap. NOTE: If the ground strap is removed for any reason, a separate ground wire must be connected to the separate ground screw attached to the range chassis and to an adequate ground source. 4c. 3 & 4-WIRE PERMANENT WIRE CONNECTIONS. 3 - Wire Permanent Connection - follow Steps 1,2 & 5 below. 4 -Wire Permanent Connection -follow Steps 1 thru 5 below. Before wiring the range, review the suggested power source location drawings in Fig. 3. If connecting to a 4-Wire electrical system (new branchcircuit or mobile home requires 4-Wire connection): 1. (3 & 4- Wire Permanent Connections) Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions supplied with the strain relief and install. 2. (3 & 4 - Wire Permanent Connections) Strip insulation away from the ends of the permanent wiring for Line 1, Line 2, Neutral (also strip ground wire on 4-Wire Connections). Tighten all 3 wire leads to the terminal block (Follow wire locations shown in Fig. 14). IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT LOOSEN the factory installed nut connections which secure the range wiring to the terminal block. Electrical failure or loss of electrical connection may occur if these 3 nuts are loosened or removed. NOTE: For 3-Wire Permanent Connections skip Steps 3 & 4 and continue with Step 5. 3. (4-Wire Permanent Connection ONLY) Disconnect the ground strap. Remove the factory installed ground screw & plate to release the factory installed copper ground strap from frame of the appliance.
