Introduction

Please read these instructions COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY. They will save you time and effort and help to ensure optimum oven performance. Be sure to observe all WARNINGS. These installation instructions are intended for use by a qualified installer. In addition to these instructions, the oven shall be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code/State and Municipal codes and/or local codes. These shall be carefully followed at all times. Note: If installing your oven in Canada, please check to make sure that you have a model with the Canadian Listing mark.

The mark as shown above means the oven complies with both US and Canadian Standards.

Power Requirements

The oven must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency. The oven is manufactured to be connected to a three-wire or four-wire, single phase, 120/240 Volt, 60 Hz AC electrical supply on a separate circuit fused on both sides of the line. A circuit breaker or time delay fuse sized not to exceed the circuit rating of the appliance specified on the rating plate located on the frame behind the door of the oven is recommended. The oven must be supplied with copper or aluminum wires. If aluminum wire is provided to connect oven to branch circuit, UL listed connectors for joining copper and aluminum must be used. Follow instructions provided with connectors. It is recommended that you have the electrical wiring and hook-up of your oven performed by a qualified electrician. After installation is complete have the electrician show you where the main disconnect is and which of the circuit breakers/fuses are for the oven.

• The oven support surface must be a minimum 3/4" (2cm) thick plywood platform. It must support 100 pounds. The platform must be solid, level and flush with the bottom of the cabinet cut out.
• Use extreme caution when moving or installing the oven. It is very heavy. DO NOT LIFT THE OVEN BY THE DOOR HANDLE, remove the door for easier handling and installing. See REMOVING THE DOOR in the maintenance section of the Use Care Manual.
• Be very careful when moving or installing the oven to avoid damage to the oven frame or damage to the cabinets.
• Be sure to level the oven. An oven that is not level may provide poor or inconsistent baking results.
• Be careful when placing oven. DO NOT pinch the conduit between the oven back.

Important Safety Information

WARNING: Before installing or removing, turn power OFF at the service panel. Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned ON accidentally. Securely fasten oven to cabinet using the screws provided. Failure to do so could result in oven moving or tipping during use and causing damage to the oven or cabinets or personal injury. Know how to disconnect the power to the oven at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.

CAUTION: Unit is heavy and requires at least two people or proper equipment to move.

Electrical Supply

Before installing the oven, have a qualified electrician verify that your home is provided with adequate electrical service and that the addition of the oven will not overload the branch circuit on which it is to be installed. A separate three-wire or four-wire single phase, 240 Volt, 60 Hz, or a 208 Volt, 60Hz branch circuit is required. For hook-up of the oven you will need to have an approved junction box installed where it will be easily reached through the front of the cabinet where the oven will be located. The oven has 3 feet of conduit. Allow two to three feet of slack in the line so that the oven can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. DO NOT shorten the flexible conduit.

Wiring Requirements

When making the wire connections, use the entire length of the conduit provided (3 feet). The conduit must not be cut. Before making connections, make sure the power is off and read and observe the following:

• A separate three-wire or four-wire, single phase, 240 Volt, 60 Hz or 208 Volt, 60 Hz branch circuit is required for the oven.
• The oven must be connected with Copper or Aluminum wire.
• In the United States: Wiring must conform to the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 7 latest edition. You can obtain a copy of the National Electrical Code by writing to: National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
• In Canada: Wiring must conform to Canadian Electrical Code C22.1- latest edition. You can obtain a copy of the Canadian Electrical Code by writing to: Canadian Standards Association, 178 Rexdale Boulevard, Rexdale (Toronto), Ontario, Canada M9W 1R3.
• Wire size (Copper or Aluminum wire) and connections must be suitable for the rating of the appliance as per the National Electrical Code requirements. The flexible armored cable extending from the oven should be connected directly to the junction box.
• The junction box should be located so as to allow as much slack as possible between the junction box and the oven so it can be moved if servicing is ever required.
