Product Information

The Electric Wall Oven is a kitchen appliance designed for baking, roasting, and broiling. It is intended to be installed in a built-in cabinet or wall. The oven has a variety of cutout sizes available to accommodate different cabinet dimensions. It is important to follow the installation instructions provided to ensure proper fit and functionality. The oven is equipped with spacers on the side walls and back to center it in the available space. This prevents excess heat buildup that can cause damage or fire. The door hinge side should not be installed closer than 4.5 inches to any adjoining cabinetry or walls to allow for easy removal of oven racks.

Dimension G, which refers to the cutout depth, is critical for proper installation. If the oven decorative trim does not butt against the cabinet or if noise is heard on convection models, dimension G should be verified to ensure the required depth is met.

The product dimensions are as follows:

• A: 27 inches (68.6 cm)
• B: 29 inches (73.7 cm)
• C: 24 5/8 inches (62.5 cm)
• D: 24 inches (61.0 cm)

Please note that these dimensions are in inches (cm) and may vary slightly depending on the model.

It is the responsibility and obligation of the consumer to contact a qualified installer to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition, or with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:
Risk of electrical shock (Failure to heed this warning may result in electrocution or other serious injury.) This appliance is equipped with copper lead wire. If the connection is made to aluminum house wiring, use only connectors that are approved for joining copper and aluminum wire in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. When installing connectors having screws that bear directly on the steel and/or aluminum flexible conduit, do no tighten screws sufficiently to damage the flexible conduit. Do not overbend or excessively distort flexible conduit to avoid separation of convolutions en exposure of internal wires.

DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe. DO NOT connect to the electrical power supply until the appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the ground wire before turning on the power.

Warning: (If your appliance is equipped with a white neutral conductor.)
This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral power supply and a frame- connected copper wire. The frame is grounded by connection of grounding lead to neutral lead at the termination of the conduit, if used in USA, in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, or recreational vehicles, where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral (white) wire or in Canada, disconnect the white and green lead from each other and use ground lead to ground unit in accordance with local codes, connect neutral lead to branch circuit-neutral conductor in usual manner see Figure 4. If your appliance is to be connected to a 3-wire grounded junction box (US only), where local code permits connecting the appliance-grounding conductor to the neutral (white) see Figure 3.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:
The armored cable leads supplied with the appliance are UL-recognized for connection to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of household wiring. The current carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire, rather than the wire gauge alone.

Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire (US Only) (see Figure 3):

1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. In the junction box: connect appliance and power supply cable wires as shown in Figure 3.

If oven is used in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where local codes DO NOT permit grounding through the neutral (white) wire, the appliance frame MUST NOT be connected to the neutral wire of the 4-wire electrical system. (see figure 4):
