IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 and result in injury. Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the oven door.
• Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the oven can withstand the temperatures (up to 200°F.) generated by the oven.

CAUTION: The electrical power to the oven supply line must be shut off while line connections are being made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

Electrical Requirements

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 the rating plate. (The rating Plate is located on the oven frame.) We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your oven connected 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 that 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 range 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 by writing: National Fire Protection Association Battery March Park 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 range. When installing an electric range in new construction, follow the instructions in the section on NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION. You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60-hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminium wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminium wiring must be used.

NOTE: If the cabinet does not have a front frame and the sides are less than 3/4” thick, shim both sides equally to establish the cutout width.

If the cabinets do not have a solid bottom, then two braces or runners must be installed to support the weight of the oven. For single ovens the runners and braces must support 150 pounds.

This Oven is not approved for stackable or side by side installation

NOTE: If the cabinet does not have a front frame and the sides are less than 3/4” thick, shim both sides equally to establish the cutout width.

If the cabinet does not have a solid bottom, then two braces and runners must be installed to support the weight of the oven. For double ovens, the runners and braces must support 275 pounds.

Cutouts for Single Oven Under Counter

NOTE: This Oven is not approved to be installed under a Solid Disk, Induction or Downdraft Modular Cooktop.

Electrical Connections

1. Turn off the circuit breaker or remove fuses to the oven branch circuit.
2. With the oven in front of the cabinet opening, on a table or platform, connect the flexible conduit to the electrical junction box as shown below. You will need to purchase a strain relief clamp to complete the connection of the conduit to the junction box.

NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION

• When installing in a new construction, or
• When installing oven in a mobile home, or
• When local codes do not permit grounding through neutral:
  • Cut the neutral (White) lead from the crimp. Re-strip the neutral (white) lead to expose the proper length of the conductor.
  • Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or bare copper) under local codes. If the residence grounding conductor is aluminum, see the WARNING note.
  • Connect the oven neutral (white) lead to the branch circuit neutral (white or gray) under local codes, using a wire nut.
  • Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red lead and the oven black lead to the branch circuit black lead per local codes, using wire nuts. If the residence red, black or white leads are aluminum conductors, see “ WARNING” note on following page.
  • Install Junction Box Cover.

Three-Conductor Branch Circuit Connection

When connecting to a 3-conductor branch circuit, if local codes permit:

• Connect the bare oven ground conductor with the crimped neutral (white) lead to the branch circuit neutral (white or gray in color), using wire nut.
• Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red lead, using a wire nut.
• Connect the oven black lead to the branch circuit black lead by local codes, using a wire nut.
• Install Junction Box Cover.

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.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The 3 power leads supplied with this appliance are UL-recognized for connection to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of these 3 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.

WARNING: Improper connection of aluminium 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.

Placing the Oven in the Opening

Sliding the Oven Into the Opening.

• Loop a 36” string around the conduit before the oven is slid into place. This will keep the conduit from falling behind the oven.
• Lift oven into cabinet cutout using the oven opening as an grip. Carefully push against oven front frame. Do not push against outside edges.
• As you slide the oven back, pull the string so that the conduit will lie on top of the oven in a natural loop.
• When you are sure the conduit is out of the way, slide the oven all the way back into the opening. Remove the string.

Installing the Bottom Trim

• Slide the oven 3/4 way into the cabinet cutout.
• Attach the bottom trim to the front frame with the 3 screws provided.
• Slide the oven all the way into the cabinet cutout.

CAUTION: Be sure you do not tip the oven foward during installation or you may bend the Bottom Trim. The Bottom Trim provides an opening for cooling air to enter the cabinet. This opening should never be blocked.

Drilling the Pilot Holes

Note: Before drilling the pilot holes make sure the oven is pushed as far back into the opening as it will go and centered.

• Drill four-1/8” pilot holes through the mounting holes (top and bottom) of the side trim, for the four #8 screws provided. Drill eight holes for the Double Oven.
• The screws must be a minimum of 1/4” from the front of the cutout.

NOTE: Mounting screws must be used. Failure to do so could result in the oven falling out of the cabinet causing serious injury.

• Secure the oven to the cabinet with the screws provided.

NOTE: If the cabinet is particle board, you must use 4 #8 x 3/4 particle board screws. These may be purchased at any hardware store.

Replacing the Oven Door

1. Make sure the hinge is in the door stop position.
2. Remove the towelling or paper towel holder from the hinge.
3. Grasp the door on both sides.
4. Hold the door over the hinges lining up the hinges with the hinge slots on the bottom of the door.
5. Slide the door down onto the hinges as far as it will go.
6. Close the door.

The oven door is heavy. You may need help lifting the door high enough to slide it down onto the hinges. Do not lift the door by the handle.

PRE-TEST CHECKLIST
