BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

" IMPORTANT -- Savetheseinstructions

for local inspector's use.

" IMPORTANT -- Observea, governing

codes and ordinances.

• Note to Installer - Be sure to leave these instructions with Consumer.

ATTENTION INSTALLER: A, 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:Beforebeginningtheinstallation, 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.

Be sure the oven is securely irrstalled in a cabinet that is firmly attached to the house structure. Weight on the oven door could cause the oven to tip arrd result in irrjury. Never allow anyorre 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.

MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED

Junction Box Wire Nuts

Strain Relief Clamp for 1/2" Corrduit 36" (91 ca) of String

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

seperate box and set aside (30" Double Wall Ovens Only).

• Note to Consumer - Keep these instructions for future reference.

DESIGN INFORMATION

SINGLE OVEN INSTALLATIONS The single oven may be installed in a cabinet alone 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 warming drawer. See the label on top of the

oven for approved models.

IMPORTANT: Always refer to irrdividual irrstallation irrstructions packed with each product for specific requirements.

F2I 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.

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 offthe hinges. Use caution once the door is removed. Do not lay the door on its handle.

This could cause dents or scratches.

WARNING:Thisapp,iancere.stbeproper,ygrounded

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

A WARNING: To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before

beginning irrstallation.

WARNING:Improper connection of alurninum house wiring to copper leads can result

in an electrical hazard or fire. Use only corrnectors designed for joining 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 (:()des 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 (:()des, 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 corrduit 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 conductor is governed by the wire gauge arrd the

temperature rating of the irrsulation around the wire.

NOTE: If residence leads are aluminum conductors, see WARNING in Section 5, Electrical Requirements.

When corrnecting to a three-conductor branch circuit, if local codes permit:

A. Connect the bare oven ground conductor with the crimped

neutral (white) lead to the branch circuit neutral (white or gray in color), using a wire nut.

B. Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red lead
