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.

REMOVE PACKAGING MATERIALS

Failure to remove packaging materials could result in damage to the appliance. Remove all
packing parts from oven, racks and heating elements. Remove protective film and labels on
the outer door and control panel. Also, remove plastic on trims and panel, all tape around the
oven and any shipping screws securing the oven to the base pad. Open oven door and remove
literature pack and oven racks. Remove the bottom trim from the top of the oven. It will be

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 and
combination 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 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.
