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 installed side by side, below a countertop, or below specified cooktops. See the label on top of the oven for approved models.

DOUBLE AND COMBINATION OVEN INSTALLATIONS

A double or combination oven may be installed in a cabinet alone or above a warming drawer. See the label on top of the oven for approved models.

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

WARNING

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.

MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED

Junction Box Wire Nuts Strain Relief Clamp for 1/2” Conduit 36” (91 cm) of String

Before beginning the installation, switch power off at the service panel and lock

TOOLS YOU MAY NEED

1/8” Drill Bit and Electric or Hand Drill T20 Screwdriver Phillips Screwdriver Wire Strippers 7/16” Nut Driver (combination ovens) 1/4” Nut Driver (30” combination ovens)

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 220 lbs (99 kg). For double and combination ovens, the runners and braces must support 400 lbs. (181 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 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.

SECURING UPPER MICROWAVE/ADVANTIUM OVEN

TO CABINET

For double oven with microwave or Advantium upper ovens. Secure a wooden cleat to side of cabinet so that the upper oven can be secured to the cleat with provided screws

27” Cabinet requirements

• No shims (or cleats) required when cabinet is in minimum width condition.

• If cabinet is at maximum width condition, add wood shims to bring cabinet to minimum condition.

30” Cabinet requirements

• No shims (or cleats) required when cabinet is in minimum width condition.

• If cabinet is at maximum width condition, fix the wood cleats as shown in illustration.

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, double, or combination 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.

3 A

DETERMINING WHEN TO USE THE PEDESTAL

(30” DOUBLE OVENS ONLY)

WHEN TO USE THE PEDESTAL

When replacing an older GE Appliances 30” double wall oven with a new GE Appliances model. Cutout height = 51-13/16” to 51-15/16”. This is our traditional cutout height.

WHEN NOT TO USE THE PEDESTAL

When replacing a 30” double wall oven from another manufacturer (ie. Whirlpool) with a new GE Appliances 30” double wall oven. Cutout height = 50-1/4”. You will need to verify that the existing cutout matches the 50-1/4” dimension.

If the new GE Appliances 30” double wall oven is being installed into new construction (ie. not a replacement), then the recommended installation is to use the Pedestal.

3 B

PEDESTAL RAIL INSTALLATION

(30” DOUBLE OVENS ONLY)

A. Position the pedestal rails with the top cutout toward the front of the opening and the flanges

on the bottom, pointing toward the center. Locate each rail on the floor or cabinet runner, slightly inward from the side of the cabinet. Make sure the front of each rail is not protruding beyond the front of the cabinet opening.

B. Drill pilot holes and attach rails to runner or bottom of cabinet with provided hardware.

DOOR REMOVAL (RECOMMENDED FOR THERMAL

OVENS)

WARNING

should never be removed, unless by a certified technician.

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, if equipped, from front frame and set aside. The

hinge bracket must be replaced, if equipped, 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 close 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 clear 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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

WARNING

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.

This appliance must be properly grounded.

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

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