Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency
as specified on the model/serial number rating plate. The model/serial

This range is manufactured with the neutral terminal connected to the
cabinet. Use a 3-wire, UL listed, 40- or 50-amp power supply cord
(pigtail) (see following Range Rating chart). If local codes do not permit
ground through the neutral, use a 4-wire power supply cord rated at
250 volts, 40 or 50 amps and investigated for use with ranges.
