Installation Instructions

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 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 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.
DESIGN INFORMATION
A French door double oven may be installed in a cabinet alone or above a warming drawer. See
the label on top of the oven for approved models.
IMPORTANT:
