When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

Be sure the oven is securely installed in a cabinet that is firmly attached to the house structure. Weight on the oven door could cause the oven to tip and result in injury. Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the oven door.

Make sure the wall coverings, counters and cabinets around the oven can withstand the heat (up to 200°F [93.3°C]) generated by the oven.

⚠️ WARNING

To reduce the risk of explosion, fire, death, electric shock, injury or scalding to persons when using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the oven door. Injury might result from contact with hot food or the oven itself.
• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil or any other material. Doing so will disrupt heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
• Do not use aluminum foil or any other material to line the oven bottom. Improper installation of oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• Make sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer, according to the installation instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified installers or service technicians.
• Be certain that all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating. Keep plastic, clothes, paper, and other flammable materials away from parts of the appliance that may become hot.
• The electrical power must be shut off while the electrical connections are being made.
• Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to copper leads can result in an electrical hazard or fire. Use only connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.

Before Installing

Proper Location and Dimensions

⚠️ CAUTION

• For this appliance, the cabinet base platform must be able to support 400 lbs (181 kg). If the cabinet does not have a solid bottom, two braces or runners must be installed level with the bottom of the cutout to support the weight of the appliance. Make sure the base is level and the front of the cabinet is square. If the cabinet base is not level, the oven racks will tend to slide out when opening the door.
• DO NOT remove spacers on the side walls of the built-in oven. These spacers center the oven in the space provided. The oven must be centered to prevent excess heat buildup that may result in heat damage or fire.
• The information in this manual should be followed exactly. Failure to do so could result in fire or electrical shock, causing property damage, personal injury or death.
• DO NOT put any weight on the oven door. Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the oven door. The oven could be tipped and injury might result from contact with hot food or the oven itself.
• DO NOT block the oven air exhaust located at the bottom of the oven. Blocking the exhaust may cause cabinet damage and product malfunction.
