Models rated from 7.3 to 9.6 kW at 240 volts (5.5 to 7.2 kW
at 208 volts) require a separate 40-amp circuit. Models rated
at 7.2 kW and below at 240 volts (5.4 kW and below at
208 volts) require a separate 30-amp circuit.
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
Connect directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker
box) through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed,
copper cable (with grounding wire). See "Make Electrical
Connection" section.
Flexible cable from the oven should be connected directly to
the junction box.
Fuse both sides of the line.

local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Built-In Oven

1. Decide on the final location for the oven. Locate existing
wiring to avoid drilling into or severing wiring during
installation.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install oven.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
2. To avoid floor damage, set the oven onto cardboard prior to
installation. Do not use handle or any portion of the front
frame or trim for lifting.
On models with shipping feet attached:
To avoid product damage, do not remove the shipping feet at
the front lower corners of the oven. The shipping feet will
protect the lower oven trim until the oven is inserted into
cabinet.
3. Remove the shipping materials and tape from the oven.
4. Remove the hardware package from inside the bag containing
literature.
5. Remove and set aside racks and other parts from inside the
oven.
6. Move oven and cardboard close to the oven's final location.
7. Open the oven door.
8. Locate the oven door latches in both corners of the oven door,
and rotate the latches forward to the unlocked position.
