ELECTRIC WALL OVEN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (and Optional Electric or Gas Cooktop Combination) Electrical Shock Hazard • Electrical ground is required on this appliance. • Do not connect to the electrical supply until appliance is permanently grounded. • Disconnect power to the junction box before making the electrical connection. • This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or a grounding connector should be connected to the grounding terminal or wire lead on the appliance. • Do not use a gas supply line for grounding the appliance. Failure to do any of the above could result in a fire, personal injury or electrical shock. In cold weather shipping and storage conditions, make sure that oven is in final location at least three (3) hours before switching on power. Switching on power while oven is still cold may damage the oven controls. 3. Adjusting Oven Height Oven height can be adjusted with 2" (5 cm) wide wood shims when needed to fit into an existing cabinet cutout opening, when cutout height exceeds 281/8" (71.4 cm) for the single wall oven or 49½" (125.7 cm) for the double wall oven (see Figure 1 or 2). Place shims of appropriate height beneath the oven side rails. 4. Electrical connection It is the responsibility and obligation of the consumer to contact a qualified installer to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition, or with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and local codes and ordinances. Electrical ground is required on this appliance. These appliances are equipped with a copper conductor flexible cable. If connection is made to aluminum house wiring, use only special connectors which are approved for joining copper and aluminum wires in accordance with National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. These appliances are manufactured with a white neutral power supply wire and a frame connected green or bare copper grounding wire. Where local codes permit connecting the appliancegrounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire (US Only) (see figure 3): 1. Disconnect the power supply. 2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box: connect appliance and power supply cable wires as shown in Figure 3. Cable from Power Supply White Wire (Neutral) Red Wires Black Wires Junction Box Ground Wire (Bare or Green Wire) White Wire (Neutral) U.L.-Listed Conduit Connector (or CSA listed) Cable from appliance Figure 3 3-WIRE GROUNDED JUNCTION BOX Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to copper leads can result in a short circuit or fire. Use only connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum, and follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure closely. You may not ground the oven through the neutral (white) wire if oven is used in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral (white) wire. When grounding through the neutral (white) wire is prohibited, you must use a 4-wire power supply cable. See Figure 4. Failure to heed this warning may result in electrocution or other serious personal injury. 4
