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
The electrical supply should be a 4-wire single-phase AC.
Install 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; installation, electrical
connections and grounding must comply with all applicable
local codes.
If local codes permit grounding through the electrical
supply neutral, connect both 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.
• 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 J-Box.
To maintain serviceability, the flex conduit must not be
shortened and should be routed to permit temporary
removal of the oven.

Oven Installation
To remove the oven door:
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:
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 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 result in personal injury or
product damage.
• To avoid injury from hinge bracket
snapping closed, be sure that 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.
• Do not lay removed door on sharp or
pointed objects as this could break the
glass. Lay on a flat, smooth surface,
positioned so that the door cannot fall
over.
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.
4. Holding the door firmly on both sides and using both hands, close the door gently until it stops against the levers, about 30º from the closed position.
5. Carefully lift the door up and out of the hinge slots. Hold firmly; the door is heavy.
6. Place the door in a convenient and stable location for cleaning.
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)
English 13
To replace the oven door:
Testing Operation
1. Hold the door firmly in both hands.
2. Hold the door at a 30º angle from the closed position and insert hinges into the slots. You may need to rock the door forward and backward slightly to seat the hinge feet.
3. The door may need to
be removed and reinserted until the
hinges sit correctly in
the slots.
4. Open door all the way to expose hinges, levers, and slots.
5. Push levers foreward and down until seated on the bracket.
6. Close and open door slowly to be sure it is correctly and securely in place. Door must be straight, not crooked.
1. Turn on power at the breaker.
2. Test the oven mode.
Select the BAKE mode. See the Use and Care Manual
for detailed operation instructions.
3. Verify that the oven light comes on and the oven begins to preheat.
4. Test the door lock. Set the SELF CLEAN mode. Confirm that the door
locks when the lock icon appears in the display.
5. If installing a double oven, test the second oven as well.
6. If any of the tests do not result as explained above, contact Thermador service for assistance. Otherwise, the installation is complete at this time.
