IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Your Safety
• Be sure your oven is installed properly by
a qualified installer or service technician.
• Be sure the oven is securely installed in a
cabinet that is firmly attached to the
house structure. Weight on the oven door
could cause the oven to tip and result in
injury. Never allow anyone to climb, sit,
stand or hang on the oven door.
• Make sure the cabinets and wall cover-
ings around the oven can withstand the
temperatures (up to 200°F.) generated by
the oven.
CAUTION: The electrical power
to the oven supply line must be
shut off while line connections
are being made. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury or
death.
Electrical
Requirements
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,
having amperage as noted on rating plate.
(Rating Plate is located on oven frame.)
We recommend you have the electrical wiring
and hookup of your oven connected by a
qualified electrician. After installation, have the
electrician show you where your main range
disconnect is located.
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 not local codes, your range must be wired
and fused to meet the requirements of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-
