The electrical supply should be a 4-wire single-phase AC. Inst all a suitable conduit box (not furnished). An appropriately-sized, UL-listed conduit connector must be used to correctly attach the conduit to the junction box.

Important: Local Codes may vary; inst allation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all applicable local codes.

If local codes permit grounding through the ele ctr ica l supply ne u tra l, co nn ec t bo th the white neutral wire and the bare ground wire from the oven to the white neutral electrical supply wire.

Electrical Connection The four-wire connection is preferred, but where local codes permit, the three wire

connection is also acceptable.

Four-wire Connection

• Connect the red oven wire to the red electrical supply wire (hot wire).

• Connect the black oven wire to the black electrical supply wire (hot wire).

• Connect the white neutral oven wire to the white neutral (not bare ground) electrical supply wire.

• Connect the bare ground oven wire to the bare ground electrical supply wire.

Three-wire Connection

• Connect red wire from oven to red wire injunction box.

• Connect black wire from oven to black wire in junction box.

• Connect both green ground wire and white wire from oven to white (or gray) neutral wire in junction box.

The conduit cable, where connected at the oven, swivels. Rotate conduit cable upward (or downward) and direct through hole prepared in cabinet to attach to JBox.

To maintain serviceability, the flex conduit must not be shortened and should be routed to permit temporary removal of the oven.

English 11

Oven Installation

Note: Before installing the oven, be sure to verify the cabinet dimensions and electrical

connections.

Removing the Oven Door

For ease of installation, some oven doors may be removed to reduce the weight of the oven by 30 lbs (14 kg) per door, before installing into the cabinet. See

instructions below.

CAUTION:

m

When removing the door:

• Make sure oven is cool and power to the oven has been turned off before removing the door. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.

• The oven door is heavy and fragile. Use both hands to remove the oven door. The door front is glass. Handle carefully to avoid breaking.

• Grasp only the sides of the oven door. Do not grasp the handle as it may swing in your hand and cause damage or injury.

• Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and properly could resu lt in personal injury or product damage.

• To avoid injury from hi nge bracket snapping closed, be sure tha t both levers are securely in place before removing the door . Also, do not force door open or closed - the hinge could be damaged and injury could result.

To remove the oven door:

1. Be sure to read the above CAUTION before attempting to remove the door.

2. Open the door completely.

3. Flip levers on hinges toward you.

1. Close door carefully until it stops. It will be about half way closed.

2. Holding the door firmly on both sides using both hands, pull the door up and out of the hinge slots. Hold firmly; the door is heavy.

3. Place the door in a convenient and stable location for cleaning.

English 12

Installing the Oven 1. Lift or slide unit into cabinet cutout. Do not lift appliance by door handle.

2. Push straight in until oven trim is flush with cabinet wall, being careful not to crimp flexible conduit between oven and cabinet back wall. The oven should be straight and level, not crooked.

3. Install supplied screws through tap holes in trim. (2 screws for single ovens, 4 screws for double/combo ovens)

To replace the oven door:

1. Holding the door firmly in both hands, place hinges in hinge slots.

2. Open door all the way to expose hinges and slots.

3. Push lever down and away from you until flush with the bracket.

4. Close and open door slowly to be sure it is correctly and securely in place. Door must be straight, not crooked.

Testing Operation

1. Turn on power at the breaker.

2. Check power at junction box using a volt meter. For 240 V installation, the reading between the red and black wires (line to line)

should be 220 to 240 volts. For 208 V installation, the reading between the red and black wires (line to line)

should be 190 to 208 volts.

3. Test the oven mode. Select the BAKE mode. See the Use and Care Manual for detailed operation

instructions.

4. Verify that the oven light comes on and the oven begins to preheat.

5. Test the door lock. Set the SELF CLEAN mode. Confirm that the door locks when the lock icon

appears in the display.

6. If installing a double oven, test the second oven as well.

7. If any of the tests do not result as explained above, contact Thermador service for assistance. Otherwise, the installation is complete at this time.
