A 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.
PEDESTAL RAIL INSTALLATION
- 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.
- 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:
- Open the oven door as far as it will go.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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).
- 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
- 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 nstallation.
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.
NOTE: If using a GFI breaker, the ground wire must be installed correctly to
prevent breaker from tripping. Refer to latest edition of the NEC, NFPA No.
70, 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)
---|---|---
s;4_g KW| s;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 French Door oven, the platform must support 220 lbs. (98.8 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.
