5. Prepare Electrical Connection
General Information
Ranges are dual rated for use on either 120/240 VAC
or 120/208 VAC. See chart at right for power ratings
and circuit breaker sizes based upon the supply
voltage for each model.
Siemens recommends that the range be installed with
a UL approved power cord set (not supplied). The
electrical rating of the power cord set must be 120/
240 volt, 50 amperes minimum. The power cord set
shall be marked "For Use with Ranges." Always use a
new power cord.
Alternatively, the range can also be hard wired using
the aluminum terminal lugs included in the literature
pack. If using this connection, flexible conduit must
also be used (not supplied).
Siemens recommends a 50 AMP, 4 wire circuit;
However, the NEC (National Electric Code) allows for
this range to be installed on a 40 AMP, 4 wire circuit.
Refer to your local electric code requirements in order
to determine the required amperage. Always choose a
range power cord set that is rated for the circuit.
In compliance with the NEC, a separate circuit is also
recommended.
WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, the
grounding prong should not be cut or removed
under any circumstances.
It must be plugged into a matching grounding type
receptacle and connected to a correctly polarized 240
volt circuit.
If there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle
is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified
electrician.
WARNING
The strain relief provided with your range cord
must be properly installed.
Risk of Electric Shock or Fire. Frame grounded to neutral through a ground strap. Grounding through the
neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, and
recreational vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor.
For installations where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited, (a) disconnect the link from
the neutral, (b) use grounding terminal or lead to ground unit, (c) connect neutral terminal to lead branch
circuit neutral in usual manner (when the appliance is to be connected by means of a cord kit, use 4-
conductor cord for this purpose).
Use only cord kits rated 125/250 volts (minimum), 50 amperes and labeled "For Use with Ranges". Strain
relief provided with cord must be installed per instructions included with cord.

Step 5: Preparation (cont'd)
Connect the range cord or (wire conductors) at the
terminal block. Access the terminal block by removing
the cover in the lower right hand corner of the range
back panel (See Figure 4). Install the strain relief and
the proper connector through the knockout(s)
provided. The electrical supply, including flexible
conduit or power cord, should be restricted to the
shaded areas in Figure 3 (previous page).
Install Strain Relief
Place strain relief in knockout below terminal block
(See Figure 4). Feed range cord through hole and
strain relief up to terminal block. Allow for slack in the
cord between the strain relief and terminal block.
Once cord length/ slack has been adjusted, attach
strain relief per instructions included with strain relief.
The knockout panel (below the terminal block) can
be removed from the range to install the strain
relief: Remove panel from range, install strain relief
in panel and reattach. DO NOT remove entire range
back panel.
