ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
We recommend that you have the electrical hookup of your
oven done by a qualified electrician.
Have the electrician
show you where your main oven disconnect
is located.
Call your Electric Company and ask which codes apply in
your area.
If there are no codes, you must follow the
NATlONALELECTRlCALCODE,ANSI/NFPANO.70-1987.
You can get a copy by writing:
National Fire Protection Association
Batterymarch
Park
Quincy, MA 02269
If you fail to wire your oven in accordance
with governing
codes, you may create a hazardous condition.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase
AC 120/240 Volt or
208Y/120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system to operate your
oven.
If you connect to aluminum
wiring, properly
installed connections
listed for use with aluminum and
copper wiring must be used.
Use #12 copper wire and 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker for
120/240 Volt and 208Y/120 Volt systems.
Before installing the oven or moving it to another location,
have the electrician verify:
l
That your home is provided
with adequate
electrical
service.
l
That the additionof the oven will not overload the household
circuit on which it is used.
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.
Install an approved junction box in the upper 4" of the cutout
(see Fig. 1).
When making the wire connections,
use the entire length of
conduit provided (4 feet).
The conduit must not be cut.
The neutral of the unit is grounded to the frame through the
bare ground wire
A
UNITS WITH NEUTRAL WIRE:
Frame

by connection
of grounding
lead to neutral lead. If used in a mobile
home or if local codes do not permit
grounding through neutral, open connec-
tion and use grounding

unit in accordance with local codes. Con-
nect neutral lead to branch circuit neutral
conductor in usual manner.
ALL UNITS: When applying set screw
type connectors care should be taken not
to damage conduit.
INSTALLATION
Your built-in oven is packed with a shipping base pad on the
bottom of the unit. This
pad
protects the lowerfroi\t
trim and
should nc be removed until you are ready to install the oven.
Before in talling the oven, you may remove the oven doors
to lessen the weight of the unit if you wish. See the care and
cleaning section of the use and care manual for instructions.
Put the oven into the cabinet and use a l/8" drill bit to drill
holes in the cabinet front through the holes in the oven trim.
Secure the oven in the cabinet with the screws provided.
