Direct Wire Installation: Copper or Aluminum Wire

This range may be connected directly to the circuit breaker box or fused disconnect. 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 1" (2.5 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 electrical supply (4-wire or 3-wire electrical connection).

4-wire connection: Direct wire

Use this method for:

■New branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC)

■Mobile homes

■Recreational vehicles

■In an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral

1.Remove the ground-link screw from the range frame. Save the ground-link screw and cup washer. Bend the ground-link away from the range so that it does not contact the range.
