tion to access the necessary lifting points and to significantly reduce the unit weight. For double ovens
Prior to installation en-us
with bottom hinge doors, you can remove both oven
doors.
→"Removing the oven door from bottom hinge con-
ventional ovens", Page11
¡ The oven can be difficult for two people to handle dur-
ing installation. It is recommended to have three or
more people available to assist with lifting the unit into
place.
¡ There is a ridge across the top front of the oven cav-
ity. Lift by grasping this ridge with one hand while
placing the other hand on the back of the unit. If a
third helper is lifting from the front, both hands should
lift by holding this ridge area.
→"Lifting points", Page11
¡ The recommended lifting method depends on the
oven door type.
Lifting points
The persons lifting the appliance should stand on either
side of the oven, using the lifting points specified in the
chart and illustrations. A third person helping to lift the
unit should stand in front of the oven, facing the oven
cavity.
Note:The lifting points are shown with the door removed.

Removing the oven door from bottom hinge conventional ovens
It is recommended to remove the bottom hinge door of
conventional ovens to reduce the weight of the appliance and to facilitate its handling and installation. For
double ovens with bottom hinge doors you can remove
both oven doors.
WARNING
Risk of injury!
Failure to follow these instructions when removing the
oven door may lead to personal injury or product damage.
▶
Make sure oven is cool and power to the oven has
been turned off before removing the door.
a Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or
burns.
▶
The oven door is heavy and parts of it are fragile. Use
both hands to remove the oven door.
▶
The door front is glass. Handle it carefully to avoid
breakage.
▶
Grasp only the side of the oven door. Do not grasp
the handle.
a It may swing in your hand and cause damage or in-
jury.
a Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and properly
could result in personal injury or product damage.
▶
To avoid injury from hinge bracket snapping closed,
be sure both levers are securely in place before removing the door.
▶
Do not force the door open or closed.
a The hinge could be damaged and cause damage
or injury.
▶
Do not lay the removed door on sharp or pointed objects as this could break the glass. Lay it on a flat,
smooth surface, positioned so that the door cannot
fall over.
Single ovens with bottom hinge door
1. Open the oven door to its fully open position.
2. Flip levers on hinges toward you.
If necessary, use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to
gently pry the upper part of the lever away from the
housing. Take care to avoid scratching the housing.
3. Bring both door hinge levers to their fullest down po-
sition. The left and right door hinges differ slightly but
operate in the same manner.

en-us Installing the ovens into the cabinet
4.
CAUTION-Risk of injury! Follow the instruc-
tions below to prevent the latch from slamming shut
and pinching or cutting your hand.
Close the oven door until it catches on the hinge stop
levers, locking the hinges at the proper angle for door
removal.
a The door will be open about 7" (18cm) at the top.
5.
CAUTION-Risk of injury! The door is heavy.
▶
Do not grip the door by the handle.
▶
Use both hands to firmly grip it by the sides.
Maintaining the door angle, lift the door straight up
approximately 3/4" (2cm) to unhook the hinges from
the slots and then pull it out towards you until the
hinges are clear of the oven housing.
6. Place the door in a convenient and stable location.
Do not lay the door on its handle. This could cause
dents or scratches.
Installing the ovens into the cabinet
Installing the ovens into the cabinet
Installing the ovens into the cabinet
Follow these instructions to install your appliance in the
cabinet.
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
It is recommended to wear protective clothing during the
lifting process.
▶
Wear gloves and long sleeves to protect hands and
forearms from abrasion and potential scratches.
▶
Take off watches and jewelry.
▶
Wear work shoes for foot protection.
CAUTION
Risk of crushing!
¡ DO NOT attempt to lift the unit by holding the oven's
upper heating element.
¡ Three people or proper equipment are needed to
safely lift the combination oven into the cabinet opening.
Requirements
¡ You have verified the cabinet dimensions and electri-
cal connections.
¡ You have removed the oven door.
→"Removing the oven door from bottom hinge conventional ovens", Page11
¡ "You have read the lifting recommendations"
→Page10.
1. Position the unit on its packaging base close to and
in front of the cabinet opening.
2. Lift or slide the unit into the cabinet cutout. Do not al-
low the unit base to contact the flooring.
3. Guide the unit straight back into the cabinet cutout.
Push the unit straight in until the oven trim is about
2" (5cm) from being flush with cabinet wall.
4. Check that the electrical conduit cable is not crimped
between the oven and the cabinet back wall. If necessary, guide the electric conduit cable into the wall of
the cabinet access hole so it does not prevent the
unit from being pushed all the way into the cabinet
opening.
5. Check that the oven is straight and level.
6. Push the unit all the way back into the cabinet cutout
until the front edge of the unit is flush with the front of
the cabinet.
7. Install the supplied screws through the tap holes in
the trim.
Refer to the enclosed SCREW INSTALLATION leaflet.
Reinstalling the oven door
1. Hold the door firmly in both hands. Grip it on either
side, not by the handle.
2. Tilt the door back slightly towards you until it opens
about 7" (18cm) at the top.
12
3. Slide the hinges into the slots as far as they will
go and lower the door straight down .
The angle of the door may need to be adjusted
slightly to allow the hinges to engage properly and
the door to lower into place. The door should lower
about 3/4" (2cm) and stop. If it does not, the hinges
have not engaged properly and the door could fall if it
is released.
4. Once both hinges are fully engaged, gently open the
door until it is fully open.
5. Push the levers on both the hinges up and forward
until they are locked into the slot and flush with the
front of the oven body.

your model, see the rating plate to find the wattage consumption and refer to the ratings table to get the circuit
breaker or fuse amperage.
All oven models on the front cover of this Installation
Guide are dual rated, designed to be connected to either 208V or 240VAC, 60Hz, 4-wire, single-phase
power supply.
Location of the power outlet
Before you install the appliance, check the location of
the power outlet.
¡ If the electrical supply is located in the cabinet open-
ing, the electrical connection must be made prior to
placing the oven in the opening.
¡ If the electrical supply is in an adjacent cabinet, elec-
trical connection can be made after placing the oven
in the opening.
Routing the electrical conduit cable
Requirements
¡ A hole in the cabinet has been prepared to route the
electric conduit from the oven to the junction box.
¡ Serviceability must be maintained. Do not shorten the
electric conduit cable. Route the electric conduit cable in a way to permit temporary removal of the oven.
▶
The electrical conduit cable swivels where it is connected at the oven. Rotate the electric conduit cable
upward or downward and direct it through the prepared hole in the cabinet.
Installing a four-wire connection
1. IMPORTANT: Use the four-wire cable from home
power supply in the U.S. where local codes do not allow grounding through neutral, New Branch circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes and recreational vehicles, new construction and in Canada.
