ATTENTION INSTALLER: ai electric wall ovens must be hard-wired (direct-wired)
into an approved junction box. A plug and receptacle is NOT permitted on these products.
[4] REMOVE PACKAGING MATERIALS
Failure to remove packaging materials could result in damage to the appliance. Remove all
packing parts from oven, racks and heating elements. Remove protective film and labels on
the outer door and control panel. Also, remove plastic on trims and panel, all tape around the
oven and any shipping screws securing the oven to the base pad. Open oven door and remove
literature pack and oven racks. Remove the bottom trim from the top of the oven. It will be
installed at the end of the installation process. The trim is wrapped separately and taped to the top
of the unit. Remove pedestal rails from separate box and set aside.
DESIGN INFORMATION
A double oven may be installed in a cabinet alone or above a warming drawer. See the label on
top of the oven for approved models.
IMPORTANT: Always refer to individual installation instructions packed with each product for
specific requirements.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
ahha hehe Before beginning the installation, switch power off at the service panel and lock
the 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.
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 wall coverings, counters and cabinets around the oven can withstand the heat (up to
200°F [93.3°C]) generated by the oven.

CUTOUT FOR INSTALLATION OVER A
WARMING DRAWER
NOTE: Install the oven only with specific models listed on the label located on top of the oven.
NOTE: Additional clearances between cutouts may be required. Check to be sure the oven
supports above the Warming Drawer location do not obstruct the required interior depth and height.
When installing a Warming Drawer below a double oven, a separate 120V, 60 HZ, properly
grounded receptacle must be installed. Refer to installation instructions packed with the Warming
Drawer for specific installation requirements.

DETERMINING WHEN TO USE THE PEDESTAL
WHEN TO USE THE PEDESTAL
When replacing an older GE Appliances 30” double wall oven with a new GE Appliances model.
Cutout height = 51-13/16” to 51-15/16”. This is our traditional cutout height.
WHEN NOT TO USE THE PEDESTAL
When replacing a 30” double wall oven from another manufacturer (ie. Whirlpool) with a new
GE Appliances 30” double wall oven. Cutout height = 50-1/4”. You will need to verify that the
existing cutout matches the 50-1/4” dimension.
If the new GE Appliances 30” double wail oven is being installed into new construction (ie. not a
replacement), then the recommended installation is to use the Pedestal.

PEDESTAL RAIL INSTALLATION
A. Position the pedestal rails with the top cutout toward the front of the opening and the flanges
on the bottom, pointing toward the center. Locate each rail on the floor or cabinet runner,
slightly inward from the side of the cabinet. Make sure the front of each rail is not protruding
beyond the front of the cabinet opening.
B. Drill pilot holes and attach rails to runner or bottom of cabinet with provided hardware.

[4] LOWER DOOR REMOVAL (RECOMMENDED)
NOTE: Door removal is not a requirement for installation of the product but is an added convenience.
To remove the lower oven door:
A. Open the oven door as far as it will go.
B. Remove hinge bracket from front frame and set aside. The hinge bracket
must be replaced for proper door functionality when door is reinstalled.
Hinge Bracket
C. Push both hinge locks down toward the door frame to the unlocked
position. This may require a flat-blade screwdriver. DO NOT LIFT THE
DOOR BY THE HANDLE!
D. Place hands on both sides of the door and close the oven door to
the removal position (approximately 1”—2” [2.5 cm—5.1 cm] from the
closed position).
E. Lift the door up and out until the hinge arms clear the slots. NOTE: The
oven door is very heavy. Be sure you have a firm grip before lifting the
oven door off the hinges. Use caution once the door is removed. Do not lay the door on its
handle. This could cause dents or scratches.

[5] ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
IMs
This appliance must be properly grounded.
AWARNING . “ah thie anal
To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
AWARNING
To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning
installation.
AWARNING _, ;
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.
[5 | ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (CONT.)
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. See the rating plate located on
the oven frame to determine the rating of the product.

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 instail 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 insulation 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 and the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire.
