4 B SHIPPING SCREWS REMOVAL (FOR 30" DOUBLE WALL OVEN WITH UPPER MICROWAVE OVEN ONLY) Shipping screws must be removed as shown in illustration. You will need a 1/4" Nut Driver. Remove Shipping Screws From Both Sides 5 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS WARNING: This appliance must be properly grounded. WARNING: To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance. WARNING: To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation. WARNING: 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. We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your appliance connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the appliance. You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 Hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used. Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a four-conductor connection to an electric oven. When installing an electric oven in new construction, a mobile home, recreational vehicle or an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor, refer to the section on four-conductor branch circuit connections. Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your oven must be wired and fused to meet the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70 - latest edition, available from the National Fire Protection Association. 5 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (CONT.) This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse. See the rating plate located on the oven frame to determine the rating of the product. Rating plate is located on the oven side trim. Use the chart below to determine the minimum recommended dedicated circuit protection: KW Rating 240V .: 4.9 KW-7.2 KW 7.3 KW-9.6 KW 9.7 KW-12.0 KW KW Rating 208V .: 4.2 KW-6.2 KW 6.3 KW-8.3 KW 8.4 KW-10.4 KW Recommended Circuit Size (Dedicated) $PS 30 Amp 40 Amp 50 Amp DO NOT shorten the flexible conduit. The conduit strain relief clamp must be securely attached to the junction box and the flexible conduit must be securely attached to the clamp. If the flexible conduit will not fit within the clamp, do not install the oven until a clamp of the proper size is obtained. The 3 power leads supplied with this appliance are suitable for connection to heavier gauge household wiring. The insulation of these 3 leads is rated for temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of the household wiring. The current-carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by the wire gauge and the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire. 6 MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING: Switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel. Place oven on table or platform even with the cutout opening. For a single oven, the platform must support 200 lbs. (91 kg); and for a double oven, the platform must support 375 lbs. (170 kg). Connect the flexible conduit to the electrical junction box as shown below*. Position the conduit in such a manner that it will lie behind the unit in a natural loop when the oven is installed**. You will need to purchase an appropriate strain relief clamp to complete the connection of the conduit to the junction box. Junction Box Conduit Ground Wire Place Oven on a Support to Assist in Connecting Conduit Bare Ground Red White Black Strain Relief Clamp (not included) Must Be Used at Junction Box * Ovens come equipped with a 40" or 54" long conduit. If a longer conduit is desired, there may be one available for your model. To check availability or order parts, call 1.800.GE.CARES. ** Double Oven with upper microwave oven we recommend install the conduit to side of junction box as shown in illustration above. 7 THREE-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION NOTE: If residence leads are aluminum conductors, see WARNING in Section 5, Electrical Requirements. When connecting to a three-conductor branch circuit, if local codes permit: A. Connect the bare oven ground conductor with the crimped neutral (white) lead to the branch circuit neutral (white or gray in color), using a wire nut. B. Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red lead and the oven black lead to the branch circuit black lead in accordance with local codes, using wire nuts. C. Install junction box cover. Ground and Neutral Wires Junction Box Cover 8 FOUR-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION NOTE: If residence leads are aluminum conductors, see WARNING in Section 5, Electrical Requirements. A. Cut the neutral (white) lead from the crimp. Re-strip the neutral (white) lead to expose the proper length of conductor. B. Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or bare copper) in accordance with local codes. If the residence grounding conductor is aluminum, see WARNING in Section 5. C. Connect the oven neutral (white) lead to the branch circuit neutral (white or gray) in accordance with local codes, using a wire nut. Ground Wire D. Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red lead and the oven black lead to the branch circuit black lead in accordance with local codes, using wire nuts. NOTE: If the residence red, black or white leads are aluminum conductors, see WARNING in Section 5. E. Install junction box cover. Junction Box Cover 9 SLIDE OVEN INTO OPENING A. Loop (do not tie) a 36" (91 cm) string around the conduit before the oven is slid into place. This will keep the conduit from falling behind the oven. B. Lift oven into cabinet cutout using the oven opening as a grip. Carefully push against oven front frame. Do not push against outside edges. C. As you slide the oven back, pull the string so that the conduit will lie on top of the oven in a natural loop. For double oven with upper microwave oven pull conduit so that it sits above left side of the lower oven (as view from the front). Pull Out on String Loop While Pushing the Oven Into the Cabinet D. When you are sure the conduit is out of the way, slide the oven ¾ way back into the opening. Remove the string by pulling on one end of the loop. 10 A INSTALL MOUNTING SCREWS (UPPER MICROWAVE OVEN) • Slide the oven the remaining way into the opening so that the side flanges and control panel are against the cabinet frame.
