GE C2S980 - Manual (Page 48)

Installation of the range.
Locate the copper ground strap on the
lower back of the range.
Loosen the upper center screw on the
terminal block.
Slide the open slotted end of the ground strap
under the upper center screw on the terminal
block. Make sure the ground strap is all the
way against the upper center screw and
tighten it in place.
Place the ground plate (removed earlier) over
the bottom of the ground strap, press them
against the range frame and attach them
with the ground screw (removed earlier).
Remove the strain relief clamp from the
bracket.
Assemble the squeeze connector (obtained
locally), matching the diameter of your
conduit, in the bracket hole. Insert the conduit
through the squeeze connector. Allow enough
slack to easily attach the wires to the terminal
block.
NOTE: Do not install the conduit without a
squeeze connector.
Insert the center bare wire (white/neutral) 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. Tighten the screws
until the wire is firmly secure (approximately
20 inch-lbs.).
NOTE: Make sure the wire is completely
inserted into the terminal block and a secure
connection is made.
Secure the squeeze connector in place in the
bracket by tightening the squeeze connector
screws.
NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING:
Aluminum building wire may be used but it must
be rated for the correct amperage and voltage
to make connection.
Replace the Power Cord (Optional) Continued
3-Wire Conduit Installation Option
Perform this step only if the power cord shipped on the range does not match your wall receptacle.
