J_ ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING:Thisapp,iancere.stbeproper,ygrounded

a, WARNING:To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

A WARNING: To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before

beginning irrstallation.

WARNING:Improper connection of alurninum house wiring to copper leads can result

in an electrical hazard or fire. Use only corrnectors designed for joining copper to aluminum arrd follow the

manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring arrd hookup of your appliance corrnected by a qualified

electrician. After irrstallation, 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 corrnect to

aluminum wiring, properly installed corrnectors 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 (:()des 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 (:()des, 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.

[_ ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (CONT.)

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency and connected to an irrdividual,

properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse. See the rating plate located on the

oven frame to determine the rating of the product.

Rating P|ate

Rating plate is located on the oven side trim.

Use the chart below to determine the minimum recommended dedicated circuit protection:

9.7 KW-12.0 KW 8.4 KW-IO.4 KW 50 Amp

DO NOT shorten the flexible corrduit. The conduit strain relief clamp must be securely attached to the

junction box and the flexible corrduit must be securely attached to the clamp. If the flexible corrduit will not

fit within the clamp, do not irrstall the oven until a clamp of the proper size is obtained.

The 3 power leads supplied with this appliance are suitable for connection to heavier gauge household

wiring. The irrsulation of these 3 leads is rated for temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of

the household wiring. The current-carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by the wire gauge arrd the

temperature rating of the irrsulation around the wire.

r_ MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

a, WARNING: Switch power off at the service panel and Iockthe service disconnecting

means to prevent power From being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means

cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag,

to the service panel.

Place oven on table or platform even with the cutout opening. For a single oven, the platform must support

200 Ibs. (91 kg)i and for a double oven, the platform must support 375 Ibs. (170 kg). Connect the flexible

corrduit to the electrical junction box as shown below _. Position the corrduit in such a manner that it will

lie behind the unit 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 thejunction box.

< Ovens come equipped with a 40" or 54" long conduit. If a longer corrduit is desired, there may be one

available for your model. To check availability or order parts, call 1.800.GE.CARES.

*< Double Oven with upper microwave oven we recommend install the corrduit to side ofjunction box as

shown in illustration above.

[_ THREE-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION

NOTE: If residence leads are aluminum conductors, see WARNING

in Section 5, Electrical Requirements.

When corrnecting 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

and the oven black lead to the branch circuit black lead

in accordance with local (:()des, using wire nuts.

C. Install junction box cover.

NOTE: If residence leads are aluminum conductors, see WARNING in Section 5, Electrical Requirements.

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 (:()des. If the residence grounding

conductor is aluminum, see WARNING in Section 5.

C. Connect the oven neutral (white) lead to the branch circuit

neutral (white or gray) in accordance with local (:()des, 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

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. For double oven

with upper microwave oven pull

conduit so that it sits above left

side of the lower oven (as view

from the front).

D. When you are sure the conduit

is out of the way, slide the oven

INSTALL MOUNTING SCREWS (UPPER MICROWAVE OVEN)

• Slide the oven the remaining way into

the opening so that the side flanges and

control panel are against the cabinet

frame. Make sure that the oven is (:entered

in the opening.

• Open the door, place a turntable tray in the

oven and make sure that the tray in the

unit is level.

• Drill pilot holes through the side flanges.

• Drive the color-matched screws into the

side flanges. It is recommended that the

screws be hand tightened.

MOUNT THE OVEN

AWARN I N G: Mountings( rews

must be use(]. Failure to do so could result in

the oven falling out of the cabinet, causing

serious injury.

NOTE: During oven mounting step, ensure that no

damage is done to oven gasket which lines the

edge of oven cavity.

NOTE: Before drilling the pilot holes, make sure

the oven is pushed as far back into the opening

as it will go and is centered.

NOTE: If the cabinet is particle board, you must

use #8 x s/4"particle board screws. These may be

purchased at any hardware store.

A. Drill through the mounting holes (top and

bottom) of the side trim for the #8 mounting

screws provided.
