Step 6: Electrical Requirements, Connection & Grounding
Dual Fuel models must be connected to the power supply utilizing one of the following methods. For all methods
of connection, the length of the cord or conduit/wiring
must allow the unit to be slid completely out of the cabinet
without having to unplug or disconnect
the unit from the power supply. Recommended
minimum free length of
cord or conduit is four feet. Electrical installations and grounding must be in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances,
and/or the National
Electric Code, as applicable.

The
cord
kit must
be attached
to the
range junction box with astrain
relief which will fit a 1" diam-
eter
hole.
If not
already
equipped,
the cord must have
1/4" faston
closed-loop
lugs
attached
to the free ends
of
the individual conductors,
pref-
erably soldered
in place.
PERMANENT
CONNECTION
(HARD WIRING)-
Units may
be hard wired
to the power
supply.
The
installer
must
provide
approved
flexible
aluminum
conduit,
3/4" trade
size,
maximum
6 feet long.
Locate the junction
box on the
rear of the unit and remove
cover. Referto
Fig. 9. Remove
the
ground
strap
retaining
screw
and bend the ground
strap up. Refer to Fig. 10. The
conduit
must
be installed
to
the
junction
box
using
an
approved
conduit connector.
Wiring
for the unit
is to be
brought
into the junction
box
through the conduit.
The ends
of
the
wiring
must
have
1/4" faston
closed-loop
lugs
attached,
preferably
soldered
in place.
Make the
connec-
tions to the terminal
block pro-
vided. Secure the ground lead
to the junction
box with the
screw
previously
used to se-
cure the ground
strap.
Refer
to Fig. 11. The free end of the
conduit must be connected
to
a junction
box provided
in the
gas and electrical supply zone,
as shown in Figure 3A on Page
