Using an Existing NEMA 14-50R Receptacle

Safety Instructions

■Plug the range power cord into a properly grounded wall receptacle. Skip to Step 6 if the range power cord matches the wall receptacle.

NOTE: Your range is shipped with a 4-prong plug to be used in a NEMA 14-50R receptacle. Should you choose to change your plug, use only a 3-wire power cord,

3-wire conduit or 4-wire conduit. Follow the appropriate instructions below, in Step 5, for your application.

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electric Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50-amp range cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 13⁄8 ″ diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.

NOTE: A 4-conductor cord is to be used when the appliance is installed in a mobile home or when local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral.
