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

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 separate box and set aside.
DESIGN INFORMATION
A French door double 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.

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 double 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.

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

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.
DETERMINING WHEN TO USE THE PEDESTAL

A. Position the pedestal rails with the top cutout toward the front of the opening and the flanges
B. Drill pilot holes and attach rails to runner or bottom of cabinet with provided hardware.

LOWER DOOR REMOVAL (RECOMMENDED)
4
NOTE: Door removal is not a requirement for installation of the product but is an added convenience.
To remove the lower oven 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.

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

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

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 double oven, the platform must
support 400 lbs. (181 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.
