DESIGN INFORMATION
SINGLE OVEN INSTALLATIONS
The single oven may be installed in a cabinet alorre or above a warming drawer. The single oven may also
be irrstalled below a countertop or below specified cooktops. See the label on top of the oven for approved
models.
DOUBLE OVEN INSTALLATIONS
A double oven may be irrstalled in a cabinet alone or above a warmirrg drawer. See the label on top of the
oven for approved models.
IMPORTANT: Always refer to individual installation irrstructions 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 single ovens, the runners and braces
must support 200 Ibs (91 kg). For double ovens, the
runners and braces must support 375 Ibs. (170 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 and front trim until
the marks or opening are covered.
NOTE: If the cabinet does not have a front frame and
the sides are less than 3/4"(1.9 cm) thick, shim both sides
equally to establish the cutout width.

F_ CUTOUT FOR INSTALLATION OVER A WARMING DRAWER
NOTE: Install the oven only with specific models listed on the label located on top of the oven.
NOTE: Additional clearances between cutouts may be required. Check to be sure the oven supports
above the Warming Drawer location do not obstruct the required interior depth and height.
When installing a Warming Drawer below a single or double oven, a separate 120V, 60 HZ, properly
grounded receptacle must be installed. Refer to installation instructions packed with
the Warming Drawer for specific installation requirements.

_1 DOOR REMOVAL (RECOMMENDED)
NOTE: Door removal is not a requirement for installation of the product but is an added convenience.
To remove the door:
A. Open the oven door as far as it will go.
B. Remove hinge bracket from front frame and set aside. The hinge bracket must
be replaced 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 (:lose 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 (:lear 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.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage arrd frequency and corrnected 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:To preverlt fire or shock, do rlot use arl extensk)n cord with this app,iarlce.
a,WARNING:To prevent shock, remove house fuse or operr circuit breaker before
beginning irrstallation.
a,WARNING:Improper corrrrectiorl of alurnirlum house wirirlg to copper leads carl result
in an electrical hazard or fire. Use only corrnectors designed forjoining copper to aluminum arrd follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring arrd hookup of your appliance corrnected by a qualified
electrician. After irrstallation, 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 corrnect to
aluminum wiring, properly installed corrnectors 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 (:odes 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 (:odes, 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.

DO NOT shorten the flexible corrduit. The conduit strain relief clamp must be securely attached to the
junction box and the flexible corrduit must be securely attached to the clamp. If the flexible conduit will not
fit within the clamp, do not irrstall 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 irrsulation of these 3 leads is rated for temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of
the household wiring. The current-carrying capacity of the corrductor is governed by the wire gauge and the
temperature rating of the irrsulation around the wire.
