necessary to receive the oven. The oven support surface may
be solid plywood or similar material but the contact surface
must be level from side to side and from front to rear.

2. ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES
AND ORDINANCES
IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S USE.
A. A three-wire or four-wire single phase 120/240 Volt, 60
Hz AC only electrical supply (or three-wire or four-wire
120/208 Volt if specified on nameplate) is required on a
separate circuit fused on both sides of the line (time-delay
fuse or circuit breaker is recommended). DO NOT fuse
neutral. The fuse size must not exceed the circuit rating of
the appliance specified on the nameplate.
NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must conform with the
fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: AN EXTENSION CORD SHOULD NOT BE
USED WITH THIS APPLIANCE. SUCH USE MAY RESULT
IN A FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR OTHER PERSONAL
INJURY.
B. The appliance should be connected to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored
or non-metalic 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 so as much slack as possible remains in
the cable between the box and the appliance so it can be
moved if servicing is ever necessary.
C. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach the
flexible armored cable to the junction box.
3. ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to contact a qualified installer to assure that the electrical
installation is adequate and is in conformance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED ON THIS
APPLIANCE.
WARNING: SHUT OFF ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO
JUNCTION BOX BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.
This appliance is equipped with copper lead wires. If
connection is made to aluminum house wiring, use only
special connectors which are approved for joining copper and
aluminum wires in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances.
This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral power
supply wire and a frame connected bare ground wire.
A. If local codes permit connection of the frame
grounding conductor to the neutral (white wire), connect
the bare wire and white wire from the supply cable of the
appliance together and to the neutral (white) wire in the
junction box. Connect the remaining wires from the supply
cable, matching colors to the wires in the junction box.

8. If used in mobile home or if local codes DO NOT permit
frame grounding to the neutral, separate the white and bare
ground wires that extend out of the end of the supply cable
of the appliance. Connect the white wire from the supply cable
to the neutral white wire in the junction box. Connect the black
wire from the supply cable to the black wire in the junction
box. Connect the red wire from the supply cable to the red
wire in the junction box. The bare wire must now be used
to ground the appliance in accordance with local electrical
codes. Connect the bare copper ground wire to a grounded
cold water pipe’ or to the grounded lead in the service panel.
‘Cold water pipe must have metal continuity to electrical
ground and not be interrupted by plastic, rubber or other
electrically insulating connectors (including water meter or
pump) without adding a jumper wire at these connections.
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 (see Figure 2).
Grounded Cold
FIGURE 2
CAUTION: If connecting to a four-wire electrical system (mobile
home) the appliance frame MUST NOT be connected to the
neutral wire of the four-wire electrical system. Separate the white
and bare wires that ex-tend out of the end of the supply cable
of the appliance. Connect the white, red and black wires from
the supply cable, matching the colors, to the corresponding
wires in the junction box. Connect the bare ground wire from
the supply cable to the ground wire in the junction box.
4. HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
ON OVEN
There is a 1%” height adjustment on these models so they
can be installed in existing openings 46” to 49%” high
(double oven) or 261/s” to 295/,” (single oven).
To adjust oven height:
A. Lay oven on its back
B. Use a Phillips (cross recessed) screwdriver to remove the
6 screws that fasten the side extension panel to the
bottom sides of the oven.
C. Move each panel down to the position that increases the
oven height to fit your opening. Each position changes
oven height approximately l/2”.
FIGURE 3
D. Line up the appropriate holes in the side extension panels
and sides of the oven to hold panels in the correct
position. Replace the 6 screws.
E. Proceed with oven installation.
5. INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Oven weight may require more than one person
to install.
Insert appliance into cut-out. Screws are provided for
fastening the front frame on the appliance to the cabinet. The
mounting holes in the front frame of appliance may be used
as a template to locate the appliance mounting screw holes.
To fasten the lower oven grille to the oven:
1. Line up the 2 mounting holes on the grille with the
mounting holes on each side of the front oven frame, below
the oven door. (see Figure 4)
2. Use 2 screws from the miscellaneous parts bag to secure
