DESIGN INFORMATION

FRENCH DOOR SINGLE OVEN INSTALLATIONS

The French Door single oven may be installed in a cabinet alone or above a warming drawer and/ or below a Microwave/Advantium. However, the French Door single oven is not allowed under a countertop or cooktop, and it is not allowed to be installed flush to the front surface of the cabinet.

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

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

WARNING Before beginning the installation, 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 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.

2 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 French Door ovens, the runners and braces must support 220 lbs (98.8 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 ¾” (1.9 cm) thick, shim both sides equally to establish the cutout width.

3 B 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 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.

4 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING This appliance must be properly grounded.

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

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

WARNING Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to copper leads can result in an 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.

4 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.

Rating plate is located on left side trim

Connected Appliance Information is located on right side trim

Use the chart below to determine the minimum recommended dedicated circuit protection:

KW Rating	KW Rating	Recommended
		Circuit Size
240V	208V	(Dedicated)
.:	.:	20 Amp
4.9 KW–7.2 KW	4.2 KW–6.2 KW	30 Amp
7.3 KW–9.6 KW	6.3 KW–8.3 KW	40 Amp
9.7 KW–12.0 KW	8.4 KW–10.4 KW	50 Amp

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.

5 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 French Door oven, the platform must support 220 lbs. (98.8 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.

*Ovens come equipped with a 40” long conduit. If a longer conduit is desired, there may be one available for your model. To check availability or order parts, call GE Appliances at

1.800.GE.CARES (1.800.432.2737).

6 THREE-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION

NOTE: If residence leads are aluminum conductors, see WARNING in Section 3, Electrical Requirements.

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

A.Connect the oven ground conductor along with the 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 and the oven black lead to the branch circuit black lead in accordance with local codes, using wire nuts.

7 FOUR-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION

NOTE: If residence leads or ground are aluminum conductors, see WARNING in Section 3, Electrical Requirements.

When connecting to a four-conductor branch circuit, if local codes permit:

A.Free the neutral (white) lead from being restrained to any other wires. If necessary, cut the neutral (white) lead and then re-strip it to expose the proper length of conductor.

B.Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or bare copper) in accordance with local codes.

C.Connect the oven neutral (white) lead to the branch circuit neutral (white or gray) in accordance with local codes, using a wire nut.

D.Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red lead and the oven black lead to the branch circuit black lead in accordance with local codes, using wire nuts.

E.Install proper strain relief clamp.
