DETERMINING WHEN TO USE THE PEDESTAL (30″ DOUBLE OVENS ONLY)
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.
WHENNOTTOUSETHEPEDESTA L
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.
PEDESTAL RAIL INSTALLATION (30″ DOUBLE OVENS ONLY)
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 the cabinet with
provided hardware. 
DOOR REMOVAL (RECOMMENDED FOR THERMAL OVENS)
WARNING
The door for the microwave oven on a combination oven should never be removed,
unless by a certified technician.
NOTE: Door removal is not a requirement for installation of the product
but is an added convenience.
To remove the door:
A. Open the oven door as far as it will go.
B. Remove the hinge bracket, if equipped, from the front frame and set it
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.
SHIPPING SCREWS REMOVAL
(FOR 30″ COMBINATION OVEN UPPER OVEN ONLY)
Shipping screws must be removed as shown in the illustration. You will need a 1/4″ Nut Driver.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
** WARNING
This appliance must be properly grounded.
WARNING
To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
WARNING
To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning
installation.
WARNING**
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.
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. 
The rating plate is located on the oven side trim.
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
WARNING
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 single oven, the platform must support 220
lbs. (99 kg); for a double or combination 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″ or 54″ 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.
**Combination Oven with an upper microwave oven – it is recommended to install
the conduit through the side of the junction box as shown in the illustration
above. THREE-
