FOR YOUR SAFETY:

WARNING:

Before beginning the installation, 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.
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.

PREPARE THE OPENING

NOTE: If the cabinet does not have a solid bottom, two

braces or runners must be installed to support the weight

of the oven. For single ovens, the runners and braces

must support 220 lbs (99 kg). For double ovens, the

runners and braces must support 400 lbs. (181 kg).
NOTE: If marks, blemishes or the cutout opening are

visible above the installed oven, it may be necessary to

add wood shims under the runners and front trim until

the marks or opening are covered.
NOTE: If the cabinet does not have a front frame and

the sides are less than ¾” (1.9 cm) thick, shim both sides

equally to establish the cutout width.

ATTENTION INSTALLER:

All electric wall ovens must be hard-wired (direct-wired) into an

approved junction box. A plug and receptacle is NOT permitted on these products.
