6.1 Electrical requirements
Make sure your electrical installation supports the follow-
ing requirements.
WARNING
An improper 240/208 VAC power supply will cause mal-
function, damage to this appliance, and possibly create a
condition of shock hazard.
This appliance must be properly grounded.
Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel.
▶Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned
ON accidentally.
¡Prior to servicing the appliance, always disconnect the
appliance's electrical supply cord, if so equipped, from
the wall receptacle. If the appliance is hard-wired to the
power supply, disconnect the power to appliance by
turning off the proper circuit breaker. Lock the service
panel to prevent the power from being turned ON acci-
dentally.
¡A neutral supply wire must be provided from the power
source (breaker) because critical range components re-
quire it to operate safely and properly.
¡Mount the receptacle securely to a wall stud, then seal
around the receptacle's housing.
¡If the correct power supply circuit is not provided, it is
the responsibility and obligation of the installer and user
to have a proper power supply connected. This must be
accomplished in accordance with all applicable local
codes and ordinances by a qualified electrician. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure compliance of lo-
cal codes. In the absence of local codes and ordi-
nances, the power supply connection shall be in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code.
¡Observe all governing codes and ordinances when
grounding. In the absence of these codes or ordinances
observe National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA 70 cur-
rent issue. See the following information in this section
for grounding method.
¡Electrical wiring diagrams and schematics have been
placed in the toe kick panel area of the range for access
by a qualified service technician. →

¡The ranges are to be connected to a 240/208 VAC
power supply.
¡The range must be connected to the power supply utiliz-
ing one of the following methods. For all methods of
connection, the length of the cord or conduit/wiring must
allow the appliance to be slid completely out of the cabi-
net without having to unplug or disconnect the appli-
ance from the power supply.
¡The recommended minimum free length of cord or con-
duit is 4ft (1.2m). Electrical installations and grounding
must be in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances, and/or the National Electrical Code, as applica-
ble.
¡When using a receptacle it may be necessary to recess
the receptacle's housing into the rear wall. Refer to Lo-
cal Electrical Code to determine the minimum volume
for all electrical / junction boxes. Follow all local electri-
cal codes and ordinances, and/or the National Electrical
Code, as applicable.

6.2 Preparation for power connection
WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock or Fire. Grounding through the neu-
tral conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit installa-
tions (1996 NEC), mobile homes, and recreational vehi-
cles, or in an area where local codes prohibit grounding
through the neutral conductor.
Where grounding through the neutral conductor is
prohibited:
¡Disconnect the link from the neutral.
¡Use grounding terminal or lead to ground unit.
¡Connect neutral terminal to lead branch circuit neutral in
the usual manner. When the appliance is to be con-
nected by means of a cord kit, use a 4-conductor cord
for this purpose.
6.3 Installing a four-wire connection
Requirements
¡This appliance must be connected to the power supply
with a listed (UL, CSA, ...) 3-POLE, 4-CONDUCTOR
cord kit rated 250VOLTS, 50AMPERES DEDICATED
CIRCUIT, and marked for use with ranges.
¡It is the responsibility of the installer to provide the
proper wiring components (cord, wires, etc.) and com-
plete the electrical connection as dictated by local
codes and ordinances, and/or the National Electrical
Code.
¡The cord kit is required to be attached to the range ter-
minal block with a strain relief which will fit a
1" (25.4mm) diameter hole.
¡If not already equipped, the cord must also have
¼" (6mm) faston closed-loop lugs attached to the free
ends of the individual conductors, preferably soldered in
place.
1. Disconnect the electrical power at the breaker box.
2. Locate the terminal block on the rear of the appliance
and remove the cover.
3. Remove the upper nuts only from the terminal block
studs. DO NOT remove the lower nuts which secure the
range's internal wiring leads.
4. If applicable, remove the 4-wire power cord from the ap-
pliance.
