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 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

WARNING
This appliance must be properly grounded.
WARNING
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
WARNING
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.
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 KW Rating
240V 208V
4.9 KW–7.2 KW 4.2 KW–6.2 KW
7.3 KW–9.6 KW 6.3 KW–8.3 KW
9.7 KW–12.0 KW 8.4 KW–10.4 KW
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.
Rating plate is located on the oven side trim.
