Electrical Connection - Whirlpool 30'' Electric Freestanding Range Installation Instructions Manual

Electrical connection
Three-wire electrical connection:
This appliance may be connected directly to the fuse
disconnect or circuit breaker box; or with a U.L.-listed,
4O-ampere range power supply cord (pigtail). Depending
on your electrical supply, make the required three-wire OI
four-wire connection.
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove the knock-out for the
power supply cable.
3. Assemble a U.L.-listed conduit
connector in the power supply cable
terminal block
opening.
4. Strip outer covering back 3 inches
from end, exposing the wires. _
Strip the insulation back 1 inch -
from the end of the each wire.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
Do Not connect to the electrical supply until
the appliance is permanently grounded.
Disconnect the power to the junction box
before making the electrical connection.
This appliance must be connected to a
grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system
or a grounding connector should be
connected to the grounding terminal or wire
lead on the appliance.
Failure to do so could result in death or
serious injury.

Use this method ONLY if local codes PERMIT
connecting cabinet-grounding conductor to neutral
wire of power supply cord.
7. Use the brass terminal nuts attached to the
terminal block cover to connect the neutral wire
(center wire) to the silver-colored terminal screw
on the terminal block. See Figure 3.
8. Connect the other two wires to outer terminal
screws on the terminal block. See Figure 3.
9. Do Not loosen factory-installed nuts already on
the terminal. Tighten nuts with 3/8' nut driver
for proper electrical connection.
10. Tighten the strain relief screws.
11. Reinstall the terminal block cover.
12. Plug power supply cord into grounded electrical
outlet.
5. Form the bare wire into a "U"

6. Insert the power supply cable
throuah the conduit connector,
allowing enough slack to easily attach the wiring
terminal block.
7. Complete electrical connection according to your type
electrical supply ("Three-wire electrical connection" or
"Four-wire electrical connection.")

Four-wire electrical connection:
This appliance is manufactured with the neutral
terminal connected to the cabinet. Use a three-
wire, U.L.-listed, 40-ampere power supply cord
(pigtail); or if local codes Do Not permit
grounding through the neutral, use a four-wire
power supply cord rated at 250 volts, 40-amperes
and investigated for use with ranges. (See "Four-
wire electrical connection.")

8. Remove the grounding-link screw from the range
frame. Save the grounding-link screw. Bend up the
grounding link so that it does not contact the range.
See Figure 8.
9. Connect the bare grounding wire from power
supply cable to the range using the grounding-link
screw. The grounding wire must be attached first
and must not contact any other terminal. See
Figure 9.
10. Connect the neutral (white wire) wire to the
center, silver-colored terminal screw on the terminal
block using the brass nuts that are attached to the
terminal block cover. See Figure 10.
11. Connect the other two wires to the outer
terminals on the terminal block. See Figure 10.
12. Do NOT loosen the factory installed nuts already
on the terminal. Tighten nuts with 3/8' nut driver for
proper electrical connection.
13. Tighten the locking ring and clamping screws of
the conduit connector.
14. Replace the terminal block cover.
7. Remove the grounding-link screw from the
range frame. Save the grounding-link screw.
Bend up the grounding link so that it does not
contact the range. See Figure 4.
8. Connect the green grounding wire from power
supply cord to the range using the grounding-link
screw. The grounding wire must be attached first
and must not contact any other terminal. See
Figure 5.
9. Connect the neutral (center wire) wire to the
center, silver-colored terminal screw on the
terminal block using the brass nuts that are
attached to the terminal block cover. See
Figure 6.
10. Connect the other two wires to the outer
terminals on the terminal block. See Figure 6.
11. Do Not loosen the factory installed nuts already
on the terminal. Tighten nuts with 3/8' nut driver
for proper electrical connection.
12. Tighten the strain relief screws.
13. Replace the terminal block cover.
14. Plug power supply cord into grounded electrical
outlet.
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove the knockout for the 40-ampere
power supply cord.
3. Assemble a U.L.-listed strain relief in the
opening.
4. Inset-t the power supply cord through the
strain relief, allowing enough slack to easily
attach the wiring to the terminal block.
5. Use only ring-type terminals to connect the
power supply. To secure the power supply
cord, use the 318' brass nuts attached to the
terminal block cover. Be sure nuts are installed
tight.
6. Complete electrical connection according to
your type electrical supply ("Three-wire
electrical connection" or "Four-wire electrical
connection.")
