GE 30 Electric Built-In Wall Ovens - Manual (Page 6)

6 MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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
200 lbs. (91 kg); and for a double oven, the platform must support 375 lbs. (170 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” long conduit. If a longer conduit is desired, there may be one available for
your model. To check availability or order parts, call 1.800.GE.CARES.
