Electrical Requirements - GE JK3000DF3WW Installation Instructions Manual

_1 DOOR REMOVAL (RECOMMENDED)
NOTE: Door removal is not a requirement for installation of the product but is an added convenience.
To remove the door:
A. Open the oven door as far as it will go.
B. Remove hinge bracket from front frame and set aside. The hinge bracket must
be replaced for proper door functionality when door is reinstalled.
C. Push both hinge locks down toward the door frame to the unlocked position.
This may require a flat-blade screwdriver. DO NOT LIFT THE DOOR BY THE
HANDLE!
D. Place hands on both sides of the door and (:lose the oven door to the removal
position (approximately 1"-2" [2.5 cm-5.1 cm] from the closed position).
E. Lift the door up and out until the hinge arms (:lear the slots.
NOTE: The oven door is very heavy. Be sure
you have a firm grip before lifting the oven door off the hinges. Use caution

WARNING:This app,iance m, st be p roper,y grounded.
WARNING:
To preverlt fire or shock, do rlot use arl extensk)n cord with this app,iarlce.
a, WARNING:
To prevent shock, remove house fuse or operr circuit breaker before
beginning irrstallation.
a, WARNING:
Improper corrrrectiorl of alurnirlum house wirirlg to copper leads carl result
in an electrical hazard or fire. Use only corrnectors designed forjoining copper to aluminum arrd follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring arrd hookup of your appliance corrnected by a qualified
electrician. After irrstallation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the appliance.
You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 Hertz electrical system. If you corrnect to
aluminum wiring, properly installed corrnectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize
a four-conductor connection to an electric oven. When installing an electric oven in new construction,
a mobile home, recreational vehicle or an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the
neutral conductor, refer to the section on four-conductor branch circuit connections.
Check with your local utilities for electrical (:odes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven
according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local (:odes, your
oven must be wired and fused to meet the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70 - latest edition,
available from the National Fire Protection Association.
F_ ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (CONT.)
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage arrd frequency and corrnected 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 P|ate
Location ....................................
Rating plate is located on the oven side trim.
Use the chart below to determine the minimum recommended dedicated circuit protection:
Recommended
KW Rating KW Rating Circuit Size
240V 208V (Dedicated)
<4.8 KW <4.t KW 20 Amp
4.9 KW-7.2 KW 4.2 KW-6.2 KW 30 Amp
7.3 KW-9.6 KW 6.3 KW-8.3 KW 40 Amp
9.7 KW-12.0 KW 8.4 KW-IO.4 KW 50 Amp
DO NOT shorten the flexible corrduit. The conduit strain relief clamp must be securely attached to the
junction box and the flexible corrduit must be securely attached to the clamp. If the flexible conduit will not
fit within the clamp, do not irrstall 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 irrsulation of these 3 leads is rated for temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of
the household wiring. The current-carrying capacity of the corrductor is governed by the wire gauge and the
temperature rating of the irrsulation around the wire.
