ATTENTION INSTALLER: All electric wall ovens must be hard-wired (direct-wired)

into an approved junction box. A plug and receptacle is NOT permitted on these products.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

WARNING

the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

Be sure the oven is securely installed in a cabinet that is firmly attached to the house structure. Weight on the oven door could cause the oven to tip and result in injury. Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the oven door.

Make sure the wall coverings, counters and cabinets around the oven can withstand the heat (up to 200°F [93.3°C]) generated by the oven.

Before beginning the installation, switch power off at the service panel and lock

• Note to Consumer – Keep these

instructions for future reference.

REMOVE PACKAGING MATERIALS

Failure to remove packaging materials could result in damage to the appliance. Remove all packing parts from oven, racks and heating elements. Remove protective film and labels on the outer door and control panel. Also, remove plastic on trims and panel, all tape around the oven and any shipping screws securing the oven to the base pad. Open oven door and remove literature pack and oven racks. Remove the bottom trim from the top of the oven. It will be installed at the end of the installation process. The trim is wrapped separately and taped to the top of the unit. Remove pedestal rails from separate box and set aside.

DESIGN INFORMATION

A French door double oven may be installed in a cabinet alone or above a warming drawer. See the label on top of the oven for approved models.

IMPORTANT: Always refer to individual installation instructions packed with each product for specific requirements.

PREPARE THE OPENING

NOTE: If the cabinet does not have a solid

bottom, two braces or runners must be installed to support the weight of the oven. For double ovens, the runners and braces must support 400 lbs. (181 kg).

NOTE: If marks, blemishes or the cutout opening are visible above the installed oven, it may be necessary to add wood shims under the runners until the marks or opening are covered.

NOTE: If the cabinet does not have a front frame and the sides are less than ¾” (1.9 cm) thick, shim both sides equally to establish the cutout width.

WHEN TO USE THE PEDESTAL

When replacing an older GE Appliances 30” double wall oven with a new GE Appliances model. Cutout height = 51-13/16” to 51-15/16”. This is our traditional cutout height.

WHEN NOT TO USE THE PEDESTAL

When replacing a 30” double wall oven from another manufacturer (ie. Whirlpool) with a new GE Appliances 30” double wall oven. Cutout height = 50-1/4”. You will need to verify that the existing cutout matches the 50-1/4” dimension.

If the new GE Appliances 30” double wall oven is being installed into new construction (ie. not a replacement), then the recommended installation is to use the Pedestal.

DETERMINING WHEN TO USE THE PEDESTAL

A. Position the pedestal rails with the top cutout toward the front of the opening and the flanges

B. Drill pilot holes and attach rails to runner or bottom of cabinet with provided hardware.

LOWER DOOR REMOVAL (RECOMMENDED)

NOTE: Door removal is not a requirement for installation of the product but is an added convenience. To remove the lower oven door: A. Open the oven door as far as it will go. B. Remove hinge bracket, if equipped, from front frame and set aside. The

hinge bracket must be replaced, if equipped, for proper door functionality when door is reinstalled.

C. Push both hinge locks down toward the door frame to the unlocked

position. This may require a flat-blade screwdriver. DO NOT LIFT THE

DOOR BY THE HANDLE!

D. Place hands on both sides of the door and close the oven door to

the removal position (approximately 1”–2” [2.5 cm–5.1 cm] from the closed position).

E. Lift the door up and out until the hinge arms clear the slots. NOTE: The

oven door is very heavy. Be sure you have a firm grip before lifting the oven door off the hinges. Use caution once the door is removed. Do not lay the door on its handle. This could cause dents or scratches.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (CONT.)

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse. See the rating plate located on the oven frame to determine the rating of the product.

WARNING

WARNING

electrical hazard or fire. Use only connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedure closely.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your appliance connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the appliance.

You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 Hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a four-conductor connection to an electric oven. When installing an electric oven in new construction, a mobile home, recreational vehicle or an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor, refer to the section on four-conductor branch circuit connections.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your oven must be wired and fused to meet the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70 – latest edition, available from the National Fire Protection Association.

This appliance must be properly grounded.

To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning

DO NOT shorten the flexible conduit. The conduit strain relief clamp must be securely attached to the junction box and the flexible conduit must be securely attached to the clamp. If the flexible conduit will not fit within the clamp, do not install the oven until a clamp of the proper size is obtained.

The 3 power leads supplied with this appliance are suitable for connection to heavier gauge household wiring. The insulation of these 3 leads is rated for temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of the household wiring. The current-carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by the wire gauge and the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire.

MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING

Switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

Place oven on table or platform even with the cutout opening. For a double oven, the platform must support 400 lbs. (181 kg). Connect the flexible conduit to the electrical junction box as shown below*. Position the conduit in such a manner that it will lie behind the unit in a natural loop when the oven is installed. You will need to purchase an appropriate strain relief clamp to complete the connection of the conduit to the junction box.
