FOR YOUR SAFETY

Be sure your oven is installed properly by a qualified

that is firmly attached to the house structure.
Weight on the oven door could cause the oven to
tip resulting in serious personal injury or death.
Never allow anyone to climb, sit, lean, stand, or
hang on the oven door.

• The wall coverings, countertop and cabinets

around the oven should be able to withstand the
heat (up to 200°F) generated by the oven.

LOCATION

Cabinet space must be provided to enclose the

recessed part of your built-in oven. SINGLE OVEN
INSTALLATION — See Figure 1 for all necessary
dimensions. DOUBLE OVEN INSTALLATION
— See Figure 2 for all necessary dimensions. It is
best to make a template to insure accurate cutting.
Place the bottom of the template on a level base line,
above the floor. See dimension E in Figure 1 (Single

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION: The electrical power to

the oven supply line must be shut
off while connections are being
made. Failure to do so could result
in serious injury or death.

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 having
amperage as noted on rating plate. (Rating plate
is located on oven frame.)

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and

hookup of your oven done by a qualified electrician.
After installation, have the electrician show you
where your main range disconnect is located.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes

which apply in your area. Failure to wire your range
according to governing codes could result in a
hazardous condition. If there are no local codes,
your range must be wired and fused to meet the
requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition. You can get a copy of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70­Latest Edition by writing:

National Fire Protection Association

Battery March Park

Quincy, MA 02269

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical

Code requires that new, but not existing,
construction utilize a 4 conductor connection to an
electric range. When installing an electric range in
new construction, follow the instructions in NEW
CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-WIRE CORD
CONNECTION KIT.

You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C.

208Y/120 Volt or 120/240 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical
system. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly
installed connections approved for use with
aluminum wiring must be used.
