IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Instructions
For Your Safety
• Be sure your oven is installed properly by
a qualified installer or service technician.
• 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 cabinets and wall
coverings around the oven can withstand
the temperatures (up to 200°F [93.3°C])
generated by the oven.
Electrical
Requirements cont.
Rating plate is located on oven side trim,
side front frame or lower front frame.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring
and hookup of your oven connected by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician
show you where your main oven disconnect is
located.
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
requirements of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70–Latest Edition. You can
get a copy by writing:
National Fire Protection Association
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
Effective January 1, 1996, the National
Electrical Code requires that new, but not existing,
construction 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,
follow the instructions in the section on NEW
CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-CONDUCTOR
BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C.
208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical
system. If you connect to aluminum wiring,
properly installed connectors approved for
use with aluminum wiring must be used.
WARNING: The electrical
power to the oven supply line
must be shut off while line
connections are being made. Failure
to do so could result in serious injury
or death.

Installation Instructions
Electrical Connections
ATTENTION INSTALLER
All electric wall ovens must be hard wired
(direct wired) into an approved junction
box. A plug and receptacle is NOT permitted
on these products.
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.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The 3 power
leads supplied with this appliance are
UL recognized for connection to heavier
gauge household wiring. The insulation
of these 3 leads is rated at temperatures
much higher than the temperature rating
of 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.
Turn off the circuit breaker or remove
fuses to the oven branch circuit.
With the oven supported on a table or
platform in front of the cabinet opening,
connect the flexible conduit to the
electrical junction box as shown below.
Position the conduit in such a manner
that it will lie on top of the oven 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.
WARNING: Improper
connection of aluminum house
wiring to copper leads can
result in an electrical hazard or fire.
Use only connectors designed for
joining copper to aluminum and follow
the manufacturer’s recommended
procedure closely.

Installation Instructions
B4 Three-Conductor Branch
Circuit Connection
When connecting to a three-conductor branch
circuit, if local codes permit:
a. Connect the bare oven ground conductor
with the crimped neutral (white) lead to
the branch circuit neutral (white or gray
in color), using a wire nut.
b . Connect the oven red lead to the branch
circuit red lead in accordance with local
codes, using a wire nut.
c. Connect the oven black lead to the branch
circuit black lead in accordance with local
codes, using a wire nut. If the residence
red, black or white leads are aluminum
conductors, see WARNING on page 14.
d. Install Junction Box Cover.
B3 New Construction and
Four-Conductor Branch
Circuit Connection
•When installing in new construction, or
•When installing in a mobile home, or
•When installing in a recreational vehicle, or
•When local codes do not permit grounding
through neutral:
a. Cut the neutral (white) lead from the crimp.
Re-strip the neutral (white) lead to expose
the proper length of conductor.
b. Attach the appliance grounding lead (green
or bare copper) in accordance with local
codes. If the residence grounding conductor
is aluminum, see WARNING on page 14.
c. Connect the oven neutral (white) lead to
the branch circuit neutral (white or gray)
in accordance with local codes, using a
wire nut.
d. Connect the oven red lead to the branch
circuit red lead and the oven black lead to
the branch circuit black lead in accordance
with local codes, using wire nuts. If the
residence red, black or white leads are
aluminum conductors, see WARNING
on page 14.
e. Install Junction Box Cover.

WARNING: Mounting
screws must be used. Failure to
do so could result in the oven
falling out of the cabinet causing
serious injury.
Installation Instructions
Securing the Oven in the Opening
Drilling the Pilot Holes and
Mounting the Oven
a. Drill through the mounting holes (top and
bottom) of the side trim, for the #8 screws
provided.
b. Secure the oven to cabinet with screws
provided.
NOTE: If the cabinet is particle board, you
must use #8 x 3/4”particle board screws.
These may be purchased at any hardware
store.
Sliding the Oven Into the
Opening
a. Loop (do not tie) a 36”(91 cm) string
around the conduit before the oven is slid
into place. This will keep the conduit from
falling behind the oven.
b. Lift oven into cabinet cutout using the oven
opening as a grip. Carefully push against
oven front frame. Do not push against
outside edges.
c. As you slide the oven back, pull the string
so that the conduit will lie on top of the
oven in a natural loop.
d. When you are sure the conduit is out of the
way, slide the oven 3/4 way back into the
opening. Remove the string by pulling on
one end of the loop.
NOTE: Before drilling the pilot holes,
make sure the oven is pushed as far
back into the opening as it will go
and centered.
The screws must
be a minimum of
1/4”(6 mm) from
the front of the
cutout.
