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.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your appliance connected by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the appliance.
You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 Hertz electrical system. If you connect
to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing)
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, refer to the section on four-conductor branch circuit connections.
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 National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70 – latest edition,
available from the National Fire Protection Association.

DOOR STRIKE ADJUSTMENT
Description: The strike on the unit keeps the door closed during cooking
and protrudes from the inside of the oven structure. The strike angle can be
adjusted if the door is too difficult or easy to open or close.
Procedure: Use a standard pair of smooth jawed pliers to apply pressure
downward or upward on the strike, to customer’s preference.
- Difficult to open: Apply pressure downward to give the strike an additional
1-6° bend.
- Easy to open/close: Apply pressure upward until the desired opening and
closing force is achieved.
NOTE: Small adjustments are recommended to avoid major changes in door
push and pull forces
