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.
Rating plate is located on the oven side trim.
Use the chart below to determine the minimum recommended dedicated circuit protection:
KW Rating
240V
4.9 KW–7.2 KW
7.3 KW–9.6 KW
9.7 KW–12.0 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.

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 upper microwave oven - it is recommended to install the conduit
through the side of the junction box as shown in the illustration above.

THREE-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT
CONNECTION
NOTE: If residence leads are aluminum conductors, see
WARNING in Section 5, Electrical Requirements.
When connecting to a three-conductor branch circuit, if local
codes permit:
A. Connect the oven ground conductor along with the
neutral (white) lead to the branch circuit neutral (white
or gray in color), using a wire nut.
B. Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red
lead and the oven black lead to the branch circuit black
lead in accordance with local codes, using wire nuts.
C. Install proper strain relief clamp.
D. Install junction box cover.
