• Be sure your oven is installed properly by
a qualified installer or service technician.
• 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 cabinets and wall cover-
ings around the oven can withstand the
temperatures (up to 200°F.) generated by
the oven.
CAUTION: The electrical power
to the oven supply line must be
shut off while line connections
are being made. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury or
death.

Installation Instructions
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
having amperage as noted on rating plate.
(Rating Plate is located on oven side trim.)
We recommend you have the electrical wiring
and hookup of your oven connected by a
qualified electrician. After installation, have the
electrician show you where your main oven
disconnect is located.
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 range must be wired and
fused to meet the requirements of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest
Edition. You can get a copy by writing:
