53-WIRE INSTALLATION

WARNING: The neutral or ground wire of the power cord must be connected

to the neutral terminal located in the center of the terminal block and the ground strap must connect the neutral terminal to the ground plate. The power leads must be connected to the lower left and the lower right terminals of the terminal block.

DO NOT remove the ground strap connection.

FOR POWER CORD INSTALLATION

A. Remove the 3 lower terminal screws from the terminal block.

B. Insert the 3 terminal screws through each power cord terminal ring and into the lower terminals of the terminal block. Be certain that the center wire (white/neutral)

is connected to the center lower position of the terminal block.

C. Tighten screws securely into the terminal block.

FOR CONDUIT INSTALLATION

A. Loosen the 3 lower terminal screws on the terminal block. Strip wire to exposed tip about 5/8” long.

B. Insert the center (white/neutral) wire tip through the bottom center terminal block opening. On certain models, the wire will need to be inserted through the ground strap opening

and then into the bottom center block opening. Insert the two side bare wire tips into the lower left and the lower right terminal block openings.

C. Tighten the screws until the wire is firmly secured (35 to 50 inch-lbs.). Do not over-tighten the screws.

NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING: Aluminum building wire may be used but it must be rated for the correct amperage and voltage.

64-WIRE INSTALLATION

WARNING: The neutral wire of the supply circuit must be connected to the neutral terminal located in the lower center of the terminal block. The power leads must be connected to the lower left

and the lower right terminals of the terminal block. The grounding lead must be connected to the frame of the range with the ground plate and the green ground screw.

FOR POWER CORD INSTALLATION

A. Remove the 3 lower terminal screws from the terminal block. Remove the ground screw and ground plate and retain them. Cut and discard the ground strap. DONOTDISCARDANYSCREWS.

B.Insert the one ground screw into the power cord ground wire terminal ring, through the ground plate and into the frame of the range.

C.Insert the 3 terminal screws (removed earlier) through each power cord terminal ring and into the lower terminals of the terminal block. Be certain that the center wire (white/neutral) is connected to the center lower position of the terminal block. Tighten screws securely into the terminal block.

FOR CONDUIT INSTALLATION

A.Loosen the 3 lower terminal screws on the terminal block. Remove the ground screw and ground plate and retain them. Cut and discard the ground strap. DO NOT DISCARD ANY SCREWS. Strip wire to exposed tip about 5/8” long.

B.Insert the ground bare wire tip between the range frame and the ground plate (removed earlier) and secure it in place with the ground screw (removed earlier). Insert the bare wire (white/neutral) tip through the bottom center of the terminal block opening. Insert the two side bare wire tips into the lower left and the lower right terminal block openings.

C.Tighten the screws until the wire is firmly secured (35 to 50 inch-lbs.). Do not over-tighten the screws.

NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING: Aluminum building wire may be used but it must be rated for the correct amperage and voltage.
