3. Adjusting Oven Height
Oven height can be adjusted with 2" (5 cm) wide wood
shims when needed to fit into an existing cabinet cutout
opening, when cutout height exceeds H Min. dimension
(see Figure 1).
4. Electrical connection
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.
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
These appliances are equipped with a copper conductor
flexible cable. If connection is made to aluminum house
wiring, use only special connectors which are approved
for joining copper and aluminum wires in accordance
with National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances.
These appliances are manufactured with a white neutral
power supply wire and a frame connected green or bare
copper grounding wire.
.
If local codes permit connection of the frame
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire.
(The 3-conductor cord or cable must be replaced with
a 4-conductor cord or cable where grounding through
the neutral conductor is prohibited in new
installations, mobile homes, recreational vehicles or
in other areas where local codes do not permit
neutral grounding)
Connect the green (or bare copper) wire and the
white wire from the appliance cable to the supply
cable ground wire (white or bare) inside the junction
box. Connect the remaining wires inside the junction
box from the power supply cable to the matching
colors of the appliance cable wires (figure 2).

3-WIRE GROUNDED JUNCTION BOX
Improper connection of aluminum
house wiring to copper leads can result in a short
circuit or fire. Use only connectors designed for
joining copper to aluminum, and follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.
.
If used in mobile homes or if local codes DO
NOT permit connection of the frame grounding
conductor to the neutral (white) wire, separate
the white and bare copper ground wires that extend
out of the end of the supply cable of the appliance.
Connect the white wire from supply cable to the
neutral white wire in the junction box. Connect the
black and red wires from the supply cable to the
matching color wires in the junction box. The bare
wire must now be used to ground the appliance in
accordance with local electrical codes. Connect the
bare copper ground wire to the grounded lead in the
service panel. DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe.
DO NOT connect to electrical power supply until
appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the
ground wire before turning on the power (figure 3).

4-WIRE GROUNDED JUNCTION BOX
If connecting to a 4-wire electrical
system (mobile homes), the appliance frame MUST
NOT be connected to the neutral wire of the 4-wire
electrical system.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads
supplied with the appliance are CSA-recognized for
connection to larger gauge household wiring. The
insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much
higher than 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.
Do not lift the oven by the door handle.
