Installation Guide

Installation
Instructions
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
• IMPORTANT — Save these instructions
for local inspector’s use.
• IMPORTANT — Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.
• Note to Installer – Be sure to leave these
instructions with the Consumer.
• Note to Consumer – Keep these instructions with
your Use and Care Guide for future reference.
• ATTENTION INSTALLER – All ovens must be hard
wired (direct wired) into an approved junction box.
A “plug and receptacle” is not permitted on these
products.
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,
resulting in serious personal injury or death. Never
allow anyone to climb, sit, lean, stand or hang on
the oven door.
• The wall coverings, countertop and cabinets around
the oven should be able to withstand
the heat (up to 200°F) generated by the oven.
24” BUILT-IN OVEN
LOCATION
Cabinet space must be provided to enclose the
recessed part of your built-in oven. SINGLE OVEN
INSTALLATION — See Figure 1 for all necessary
dimensions. DOUBLE OVEN INSTALLATION — See
Figure 2 for all necessary dimensions. It is best to
make a template to insure accurate cutting. Place the
bottom of the template on a level base line, above the
floor. See dimension E in Figure 1 (Single Oven) or
Figure 2 (Double Oven).
It is important that the oven be installed at or above
the minimum height specified. The unit has been
tested and approved, in accordance with safety
standards, at this height.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
The electrical power to the oven
supply line must be shut off while connections
are being made. Failure to do so could result in
serious injury or death.
This appliance must be
supplied with the proper
voltage and frequency, and
connected to an individual,
properly grounded branch
circuit, protected by a circuit
breaker or fuse having
amperage as noted on rating plate. (Rating plate is
located on front frame.)
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and
hookup of your oven done 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 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-Latest Edition by writing:
National Fire Protection Association

Quincy, MA 02269
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that
new, but not existing, construction utilize a 4 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 NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-WIRE CORD
CONNECTION KIT.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or
120/240 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum
wiring, properly installed connections approved for use with
aluminum wiring must be used.
NOTE: If using a GFI breaker, the ground wire must
be installed correctly to prevent breaker from tripping.
Refer to latest edition of the NEC, NFPA No. 70,
available from the National Fire Protection Association.
