3-WIRE CONDUIT INSTALLATION
NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING:
Aluminum building wire may be used but it
must be rated for the correct amperage and
voltage to make connection. Connect wires
according to this step depending on number
of wires.
A.
Remove the screws and raise the terminal
block cover (lower part of the back wire cover).
B.
Remove the three aluminum connectors and
ground plate attached to the back of the range.
Reattach the ground plate to the range using the
same screw for possible future use.
C.
Remove the three outer terminal nuts from
the terminal block.
WARNING:
DO NOT loosen
any of the inside nuts on the terminal
block. Electrical failure, loss of electrical
connection, electrical shock or fire may
result causing property damage, personal
injur y or death.
