3-Wire Conduit Installation Option
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.
