Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Your Safety
• Be sure your oven is installed properly by
a qualified installer or service technician.
• 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 cabinets and wall cover-
ings around the oven can withstand the
temperatures (up to 200°F.) generated by
the oven.
_ CAUTION: The electrical power
to the oven supply line must be
shut off while line connections
are being made. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury or
death.
Electrical
Requirements
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 side trim.)
We recommend you have the electrical wiring
and hookup of your oven connected by a
qualified electrician. After installation, have the
electrician show you where your main oven
disconnect is located.
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 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 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 the section on NEW
CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR CONDUCTOR
BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C.
208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz
electrical system. If you connect to aluminum
wiring, properly installed connectors approved
for use with aluminum wiring must be used.

ATTENTION INSTALLER!!!
All electric wall ovens must be hard wired
(direct wired) into an approved junction
box. A plug and receptacle is NOT IR21
permitted on these products.
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.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The 3 power leads
supplied with this appliance are UL recognized for
connection to larger gauge household wiring. The
insulation of these 3 leads is rated at temperatures
much higher than the temperature rating of house-
hold wiring. The current carrying capacity of the
conductor is governed by the temperature rating of
the insulation around the wire, rather than the wire
gauge alone.
WARNING: Improper connection ofaluminum 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.
i
I--I
Turn off the circuit breaker or remove fuses
to the oven branch circuit.
With the oven in front of the cabinet
opening, on a table or platform, connect the
flexible conduit to the electrical junction box
as shown below. You will need to purchase
a strain relief clamp to complete the
connection of the conduit to the junction
box.
