•
NOTE: Only a power cord suitable for use with ranges may be used. For installation in a mobile home, or area where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral terminal, a
Range Terminal Block
Connection block is located at bottom rear of range behind rear cover panel. (Figure 5) Remove rear cover screw. Directly below terminal block is a hole for a power supply service cord. Power cord is not supplied with range.
Range has been grounded at the factory to the center (nickel plated) terminal of the terminal block in accordance with the National Electrical Code (section 2560). When a separate ground is required by local code, disconnect the grounding strap from the terminal block. Ground frame by connecting a grounding wire to range frame using only the grounding screw removed from the grounding strap.

Terminal block is approved for copper wire connection only, NOT aluminum wiring. If aluminum house wiring is to be connected, the following procedure is suggested.
1.Connect length of copper building wire to range terminal block with ring terminals.
2.Splice copper wires to aluminum wiring using connectors which are design certified by Underwriter’s Laboratories and recognized for joining copper to aluminum. Follow the connector manufacturer’s recommended procedure.
3.Wire used, location and enclosure of splices must conform to local codes.
Installing 3-Wire Power Cord
1.Remove rear wire cover.
2.Place strain relief (winged clamp) in cord access hole below terminal block.
•Place wings through hole, entering from bottom.
•Screw holes in clamp should be below mounting panel.
3.Place cord through strain relief.
•Attach neutral (center) or white wire to center terminal on terminal block.
4.Attach power lead, red wire or black wire to left side power terminal. (Figure 5)
5.Attach power lead, red wire or black wire to the right side power terminal.
6.After wires have been placed on terminals, attach with hex nuts provided.
•Firmly tighten to ensure proper electrical connection.
7.Place screw through strain relief and tighten.
8.Replace rear wire cover.
