Direct wire method: Copper or Aluminum wire
NOTE: The bag containing three aluminum terminal lugs must be used when making a direct wire connection.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Use 8 gauge copper wire, or 6 gauge aluminum wire.
Electrically ground range.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
This range may be connected directly to the fuse disconnect or circuit breaker box; or with a

5.Allow enough slack in the wire to easily attach the wiring terminal block.
6.Use 3/8" nut driver and remove the outside nuts on the terminal block screws. Do not loosen the factory- tightened nuts behind the outside nuts.
7.IMPORTANT: the aluminum terminal lugs must be assembled to the terminal posts with the set screws facing out as shown.
8.Attach three aluminum terminal lugs to terminal posts.
Use a 3/8" nut driver and tighten the nuts securely. Nuts must be tightened to 20 in/lbs of torque for proper electrical connection.
9.Complete electrical connection according to your type electrical supply
