Advance Planning

• These ovens may be installed directly into a 27" wide oven cabinet with standard installation.
• Cutout height dimensions are different for installations with an accessory storage drawer. Make sure to use the correct cutout when preparing the opening.
• Allow for clearance to adjacent corners, walls, drawers, etc.

The oven must be 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.

Flush Mount Installation

This installation method allows for the unit face to be inline with the cabinet face. It requires a high skill level in carpentry, and non-standard cabinetry may be required. Flush installation may expose cabinet face frame edges, and side cleats should be finished surfaces.

Installation Preparation

Electrical Requirements

Single Advantium Built-In Oven Installation: This product requires a 120-volt, 60 Hz, 15-amp circuit and draws 1.8 kilowatts. It must be connected to a supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency.

• Wire size must conform to the National Electrical Code or prevailing local code for this kilowatt rating.
• The power supply cord and plug should connect to a separate 15 or 20 ampere branch circuit single grounded receptacle. The outlet box should be located within reach of the 48" power cord.

Electrical Location Diagram: The diagram shows a cabinet opening with a shaded area indicating the recommended location for the electrical outlet. The outlet box should be installed in the back wall of the opening, within 6" of either side and at least 9" above the cutout floor.

Grounding Instructions

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

• This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for electric current in the event of an electrical short circuit.
• The appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire and plug. Plug into a properly installed and grounded outlet.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if grounding instructions are not understood or if there is doubt about proper grounding.
• If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your responsibility to replace it with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
• Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks from entanglement or tripping.
• Do not use an extension cord. If the cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet nearby.
• For best operation, plug into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering lights, blown fuses, or tripped circuit breakers.
