(34.9 mm) diameter connection opening.
� A circuit breaker is recommended.
� The range can be connected directly to the circuit breaker box
(or fused disconnect) through flexible or nonmetallic sheathed,
copper or aluminum cable. See the "Electrical Connection - U.
S.A. Only" section.
� Allow 2 to 3 ft (61.0 cm to 91.4 cm) of slack in the line so that
the range can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.
� A UL listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of
the power supply cable (at the range and at the junction box).
� Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the
range.
� The Tech Sheet is located on the back of the range inside a
clear plastic bag.
If connecting to a 4-wire system:
This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the
neutral by a link. The ground must be revised so the green ground
wire of the 4-wire power supply cord is connected to the cabinet.
See the “Electrical Connection - U.S.A. Only” section.
Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new
branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; and
recreational vehicles, or an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor.
When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used, a
matching UL listed, 4-wire, 250 V, 40 or 50 A, range power supply
cord (pigtail) must be used. This cord contains 4 copper
conductors with ring terminals or open-end spade terminals with
upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 14- 50P plug on the
supply end.
The fourth (grounding) conductor must be identified by a green or
green/yellow cover and the neutral conductor by a white cover.
Cord should be Type SRD or SRDT with a UL listed strain relief
and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long.

The minimum conductor sized for the copper 4-wire power cord
are:
40 A circuit
2 No.-8 conductors
1 No.-10 white neutral
1 No.-8 green grounding
If connecting to a 3-wire system:
Local codes may permit the use of a UL listed, 3-wire, 250 V, 40 or
50 A range power supply cord (pigtail). This cord contains 3
copper conductors with ring terminals or open-end spade
terminals with upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 10-50P
plug on the supply end. Connectors on the appliance end must be
provided at the point the power supply cord enters the appliance.
This uses a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-50R.

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground appliance.
Failure to do so could result in death, fire, or electrical
shock.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path is adequate and wire gauge are in accordance
with local codes.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate
and in conformance with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1 - latest edition, and all local codes and
ordinances.
