6POWER CORD AND CONDUIT INSTALLATION (CONT.)

8 4-WIRE INSTALLATION Before–Power Cord and Conduit

C. For power cord installations only (see the next	Strain relief
step if using conduit), assemble the strain relief	Terminal
in the hole. Insert the power cord through the strain
	block
relief and tighten. Allow enough slack to easily
attach the cord terminals to the terminal block.
If tabs are present at the end of the winged
strain relief, they can be removed for a better fit.	Bracket
NOTE: Do not install the power cord without a
strain relief. The strain relief bracket MUST be	Power cord
installed before reinstalling the rear range wiring

WARNING: The neutral wire of the supply	Terminal
circuit must be connected to the neutral terminal
	block
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	Ground
of the range with the ground plate and the green	strap
ground screw.

D. For conduit installations only, purchase a squeeze		Terminal
		block
connector matching the diameter of your conduit and
assemble it in the hole. Insert the conduit through the
squeeze connector and tighten. Allow enough slack to eas-
ily attach the wires to the terminal block.		Bracket
NOTE: Do not install the conduit without a squeeze con-

nector. The squeeze connector MUST be installed before reinstalling the rear range wiring cover.

73-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. Ground strap must connect
the neutral teminal to the ground plate. The power leads must be connected to the lower
left and the lower right terminals of the terminal block.	Terminal block	Power Cord

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

B. Strip wire to expose tip about 5/8" long. Insert the center

(white/neutral) wire tip through the bottom center terminal block opening. On Conduit

certain models, the wire will need to be inserted Terminal

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

C. Tighten 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.

9 REPLACE THE WIRE COVER

Replace wire cover on range back by sliding its left edge under

the retaining tabs and replace the screws removed earlier. Make sure that no wires are pinched between cover and range back.
