4. Use a Phillips screwdriver to connect the green ground wire 

from the power supply cord to the range with the ground-link 
screw and ground-link section. The ground wire must be 
attached first.

5. Use 

³⁄₈" nut driver to connect the neutral (white) wire to the 

center terminal block post with one of the 10–32 hex nuts.

6. Connect line 2 (red) and line 1 (black) wires to the outer 

terminal block posts with 10-32 hex nuts.

7. Securely tighten hex nuts.

NOTE: For power supply cord replacement, use only a power 
cord rated at 250 volts minimum, 40 amps or 50 amps that is 
marked for use with nominal 1

³⁄₈" (3.5 cm) diameter 

connection opening, with ring terminals and marked for use 
with ranges.

8. Tighten strain relief screws.

9. Replace terminal block access cover.

3-wire connection: Power Supply Cord

Use this method only if local codes permit connecting chassis 
ground conductor to neutral wire of power supply cord.

1. Feed the power supply cord through the strain relief on the 

cord/conduit plate on bottom of range. Allow enough slack to 
easily attach the wiring to the terminal block.

2. Use 

³⁄₈" nut driver to connect the neutral (white) wire to the 

center terminal block post with one of the 10–32 hex nuts.

3. Connect line 2 (red) and line 1 (black) wires to the outer 

terminal block posts with 10-32 hex nuts.

4. Securely tighten hex nuts.

NOTE: For power supply cord replacement, use only a power 
cord rated at 250 volts minimum, 40 amps or 50 amps that is 
marked for use with nominal 1

³⁄₈" (3.5 cm) diameter 

connection opening, with ring terminals and marked for use 
with ranges.

5. Tighten strain relief screws.

6. Replace terminal block access cover.

Direct Wire Installation: Copper or Aluminum Wire

This range may be connected directly to the fuse disconnect or 
circuit breaker box. Depending on your electrical supply, make 
the required 3-wire or 4-wire connection.

1. Strip outer covering back 3" (7.6 cm) to expose wires. Strip 

the insulation back 

³⁄₈" (1.0 cm) from the end of each wire.

2. Allow enough slack in the wire to easily attach the wiring 

terminal block.

3. Complete electrical connection according to your type of 

electrical supply (4-wire or 3-wire connection).

4-wire Connection: Direct Wire

Use this method for:
