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.
2. To avoid floor damage, set the oven onto cardboard prior
to installation. Do not use handle or any portion of the front
frame 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 the oven and cardboard close to the oven’s final
location.
Electrical Requirements
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
oven is properly grounded.
This oven must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are
adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91 – latest
edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

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.
