REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be installed and grounded on a
branch circuit by a qualified technician in accordance
with the National Electrical code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70 -
latest edition.
All wiring should conform to Local and NEC. This range
requires a single-phase, 3 wire, A.C 120/208V or 120/240V
60Hz electrical system. Use only a 3-conductor or a
4-conductor UL-listed range cord with closed-loop
terminals, open-end spade lugs with upturned ends
or similar termination. DO NOT install the power cord
without a strain relief.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 120/240 minimum
volt range is required. If a 50 amp range cord is used, it
should be marked for use with 13⁄8” diameter connection
openings. This appliance may be connected by means
of conduit or power cord. If conduit is being used, go to
page 7 for 3 wire conduit connections or page 8 for 4
wire conduit connections.
• New branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC)
for mobile homes, recreational vehicles, and
installations where local codes do not allow
grounding through the neutral wire require
a 4-conductor UL listed range cord or 4 wire
conduit connection.
• Power supply cord and plug should not be

• Using an extension cord to connect the power is
prohibited. The way to connect the power cord
and plug directly is strongly recommended.
• Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
• You should make sure that the power cord is
not pinched by the range or heavy objects.
- Failure to do so can result in serious burns or
electrical shock.
