B 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 wall oven is being installed into new
construction (ie. not a replacement), then the recommended installation is to
use the Pedestal.
B 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.

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, if equipped, from front frame and set aside. The
hinge bracket must be replaced, if equipped, for proper door functionality
when door is reinstalled.
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.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
**** This appliance must be properly grounded.
To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning
installation.
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.
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.
Use the chart below to determine the minimum recommended dedicated circuit protection:
KW Rating
240V| KW Rating
208V| Recommended Circuit Size (Dedicated)
---|---|---
4.8 KW| 4.1 KW| 20 Amp
4.9 KW-7.2 KW| 4.2 KW-6.2 KW| 30 Amp
7.3 KW-9.6 KW| 6.3 KW-8.3 KW| 40 Amp
9.7 KW-12.0 KW| 8.4 KW-10.4 KW| 50 Amp
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 install 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.
MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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.
Place oven on table or platform even with the cutout opening. For a double
oven, the platform must support 400 lbs. (181 kg). Connect the flexible
conduit to the electrical junction box as shown below*. Position the conduit
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 the junction box.
- Ovens come equipped with a 40” long conduit. If a longer conduit is desired, there may be one available for your model. To check availability or order parts, call GE Appliances at 1.800.GE.CARES.
THREE-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION
NOTE: If residence leads are aluminum conductors, see
WARNING in Section 5, Electrical Requirements.
When connecting to a three-conductor branch circuit, if local codes permit:
A. Connect the oven ground conductor along with the 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 codes, using
wire nuts.
C. Install proper strain relief clamp.
D. Install junction box cover.
FOUR-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION
NOTE: If residence leads are aluminum conductors, see WARNING in Section
5, Electrical Requirements.
When connecting to a four-conductor branch circuit, if local codes permit:
A. Free the neutral (white) lead from being restrained to any other wires. If
necessary, cut the neutral (white) lead and then re-strip it to expose the
proper length of conductor.
B. Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or bare copper) in accordance
with local codes.
C. Connect the oven neutral (white) lead to the branch circuit neutral (white
or gray) in accordance with local codes, 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 in ac cordance with local codes, sing
