FOR YOUR SAFETY: Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors

and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

United States

Your new wall oven has been designed to fit a limited variety of cutout sizes to make
the job of installing easier. The first step of your installation should be to measure your
current cutout dimensions and compare them to the cutout dimensions chart below for
your model. You may find little or no cabinet work being necessary.

Do not remove spacers (if equipped) on the side walls and/or on the back of the built-in oven.
These spacers center the oven in the space provided. The oven must be centered to prevent excess heat buildup
that may result in heat damage or fire.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS WALL OVEN IN A BASE CABINET WITH A COUNTERTOP ABOVE IT.
NOTES:

1. Base must be capable of supporting 150 pounds (68 kg).

2. Allow at least 19

3. Dimension G is critical to the proper

installation of the built-in oven. If the
oven decorative trim does not butt
against the cabinet, or if noise is heard
on convection models, verify dimension
G to assure it is according to the
required dimension.

4. For a cutout height greater than H

ELECTRIC WALL OVEN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Important Notes to the Installer

1. Read all instructions contained in these installation
instructions before installing the wall oven.

2. Remove all packing material from the oven
compartments before connecting the electrical supply
to the wall oven.

3. Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

4. Be sure to leave these instructions with the consumer.

5. Oven door may be removed to facilitate installation.

6. THESE OVENS ARE NOT APPROVED FOR

STACKABLE OR SIDE-BY-SIDE INSTALLATION.

Important Note to the Consumer

Keep these instructions with your Owner's Guide for
future reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

• Be sure your wall oven is installed and grounded

properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.

• This wall oven must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
No.70- latest edition in United States, or with CSA
Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1,
in Canada.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the
door of this wall oven can result in serious injuries
and can also cause damage to the wall oven.

• Never use your wall oven for warming or heating

the room. Prolonged use of the wall oven without

adequate ventilation can be dangerous.

The electrical power to the oven must
be shut off while line connections are being made.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or
death.

2. Adjusting Oven Height

Remove and lay aside the lower vent decorative trim

that is taped to the outer side panel of the oven. The
decorative trim will be fastened to the lower front of
the oven after it has been installed in the cabinet.

There is a 1¾" (4.4 cm) height adjustment on

models with extension panel (see figure 3). With this
adjustment and a ¼" (0.6 cm) trim overhang, a single
oven can be installed in existing openings 275/8" (70.2
cm) to 295/8" (75.2 cm) or a double oven in existing
openings 48" (121.9 cm) to 50" or 49 7/8" (127 cm
or 126.7 cm) high.

Adjustment Holes

Extension Panel

Figure 3

To adjust oven height:

1. Lay oven on its back. (see figure 4).

2. Remove the 6 screws that fasten the side

extension panel to the bottom sides of the oven.

3. Move each panel down to the position that

increases the oven height to fit your opening.
Each position changes oven height approximately
1/2" (1.3 cm).

4. Line up the appropriate holes in the side extension

panels and sides of the oven. Put back the 6 screws.

5. Return to upright position. Proceed with oven

installation.

Mounting Screws

1. Carpentry

Refer to figure 1 or 2 for the dimensions applicable to
your appliance, and the space necessary to receive the
oven. The oven support surface may be solid plywood or
similar material, however the surface must be level from
side to side and front to rear.

3. 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. To know the circuit breaker or fuse required
by your model, see the serial plate to find the wattage
consumption and refer to table A to get the circuit
breaker or fuse amperage.

Observe all governing codes and local ordinances

1. A 3-wire or 4-wire single phase 120/240 or 120/208
Volt, 60 Hz AC only electrical supply is required on a
separate circuit fused on both sides of the line (red
and black wires). A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. DO NOT fuse neutral (white wire). Only
certain cooktop models may be installed over certain
built-in electric oven models. Approved cooktops and
built-in ovens are listed by the MFG ID number (see the
insert sheet included in the literature package).

NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must conform with
the fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance
with the American National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-latest edition, or with Canadian CSA Standard
C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and local codes
and ordinances.

electrical shock, or other personal injury. If you need

a longer power cord you can purchase a 10' (3 m) power
cord kit #903056-9010 by calling the Service Center.

2. These appliances should be connected to the fused

disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible
armored or nonmetallic sheathed cable. The flexible
armored cable extending from the appliance should
be connected directly to the junction box. The
junction box should be located as shown in Figure
1 or Figure 2 and with as much slack as possible
remaining in the cable between the box and the
appliance, so it can be moved if servicing is ever
necessary.

3. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach

the flexible armored cable to the junction box.

4. Electrical connection

It is the responsibility and obligation of the consumer to
contact a qualified installer to assure that the electrical
installation is adequate and is in conformance with the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition,
or with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code,
Part 1, and local codes and ordinances.

Risk of electrical shock (Failure to

heed this warning may result in electrocution or
other serious injury.) This appliance is equipped
with copper lead wire. If connection is made to
aluminum house wiring, use only connectors that
are approved for joining copper and aluminum wire
in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and local code and ordinances. When installing
connectors having screws which bear directly on
the steel and/or aluminum flexible conduit, do no
tighten screws sufficiently to damage the flexible
conduit. Do not over bend or excessively distort
flexible conduit to avoid separation of convolutions
en exposure of internal wires.

DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe. DO NOT connect
to electrical power supply until appliance is permanently
grounded. Connect the ground wire before turning on
the power.

ELECTRIC WALL OVEN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(If your appliance is equipped with a
white neutral conductor.)
This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral
power supply and a frame connected copper wire.
The frame is grounded by connection of grounding
lead to neutral lead at the termination of the
conduit, if used in USA, in a new branch circuit
installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational
vehicles, where local code do not permit grounding
trough the neutral (white) wire or in Canada,
disconnect the white and green lead from each
other and use ground lead to ground unit in
accordance with local codes, connect neutral lead
to branch circuit-neutral conductor in usual manner
see Figure 6. If your appliance is to be connected
to a 3 wire grounded junction box (US only),
where local code permit connecting the appliance­grounding conductor to the neutral (white) see
Figure 5.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads

supplied with the appliance are UL-recognized for
connection to larger gauge household wiring. The
insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much
higher than temperature rating of household 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.

If oven is used in a new branch circuit installation
(1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational vehicle,
or where local codes DO NOT permit grounding
through the neutral (white) wire, the appliance
frame MUST NOT be connected to the neutral wire
of the 4-wire electrical system. (see figure 6):

1. Disconnect the power supply.

2. Separate the green (or bare copper) and white
appliance cable wires.

3. In the junction box:

connect appliance and power supply cable wires as

shown in Figure 6.
