Effective Januar y 1, 1996, the National
Electrical Code requires that new
construction (not existing) utilize a 4-
conductor connection to an electric range.
When installing an electric range in new
construction, see 4-WIRE POWER CORD
INSTALLATION or 4-WIRE CONDUIT
INSTALLATION for 4-wire connection.

You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C.
208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz
electrical system. If you connect to aluminum
wiring, properly installed connectors
approved for use with aluminum wiring 
must be used.
If the electrical service provided does not
meet the above specifications, have a
licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor 
UL-listed range cord. These cords may be
provided with ring terminals on wire and 
a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250
minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp
range cord is not recommended but if used, 
it should be marked for use with nominal 
1-3/8

″

diameter connection openings. Care

should be taken to center the cable and 
strain relief within the knockout hole to keep
the edge from damaging the cable.
• Because range terminals are not accessible

after range is in position, flexible service
conduit or cord must be used.

NOTE:

If conduit is being used, see 3-WIRE

CONDUIT INSTALLATION or 4-WIRE
CONDUIT INSTALLATION.
• On some models, a filter capacitor may be

connected between the black and white
leads on the junction block.

ALL NEW CONSTRUCTIONS,
MOBILE HOMES AND
INSTALLATIONS WHERE 
LOCAL CODES DO NOT 
ALLOW GROUNDING 
THROUGH NEUTRAL, 
REQUIRE A 4-CONDUCTOR
UL-LISTED RANGE CORD.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION: For personal safety, do not
use an extension cord with this
appliance. Remove house fuse or open
circuit breaker before beginning
installation.

This appliance must be supplied with the
proper voltage and frequency, and connected
to an individual properly grounded branch
circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse
having amperage 
as specified on
the rating plate.
The rating plate
is located above
the storage
drawer on the
oven frame.
We recommend you have the electrical
wiring and hookup of your range connected
by a qualified electrician. After installation,
have the electrician show you where your
main range disconnect is located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical
codes which apply in your area. Failure to
wire your oven according to governing codes
could result in a hazardous condition. If there
are no local codes, your range must be wired
and fused to meet the requirements of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
