INSTALLATION AND SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER.

IMPORTANT: SAVE FOR LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR'S USE.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

FOR YOUR SAFETY: Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Your new wall oven has been designed to fit a limited variety of cutout sizes to make the job of installing easier. The first step of your installation should be to measure your current cutout dimensions and compare them to the cutout dimensions chart below for your model. You may find little or no cabinet work being necessary.

Do not remove spacers (if equipped) on the side walls of the built-in oven. These spacers center the oven in the space provided. The oven must be centered to prevent excess heat buildup that may result in heat damage or fire.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS WALL OVEN IN A BASE CABINET WITH A COOKTOP ABOVE IT.

NOTES:

1. Base must be capable of supporting 150 pounds (68 kg)

2. Allow at least 21" (53.3 cm) clearance in front of oven for door depth when it is open.

3. Dimension G (cutout depth) is critical to the proper installation of the builtin oven. If the oven decorative trim does not butt against the cabinet,

C verify dimension G to assure it is the required depth.

4. For a cutout height greater than 28 7 /

4. Electrical connection

It is the responsibility and obligation of the consumer to contact a qualified installer to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.

70-latest edition, or with CSA Standard C22.1,

Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and local codes and ordinances.

Risk of electrical shock (Failure to heed this warning may result in electrocution or other serious injury.) This appliance is equipped with copper lead wire. If connection is made to aluminum house wiring, use only connectors that are approved for joining copper and aluminum wire in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local code and ordinances. When installing connectors having screws which bear directly on the steel and/or aluminum flexible conduit, do no tighten screws sufficiently to damage the flexible conduit. Do not over bend or excessively distort flexible conduit to avoid separation of convolutions en exposure of internal wires.

DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe. DO NOT connect to electrical power supply until appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the ground wire before turning on the power.

(If your appliance is equipped with a white neutral conductor.)

This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral power supply and a frame connected copper wire. The frame is grounded by connection of grounding lead to neutral lead at the termination of the conduit, if used in

USA, in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational vehicles, where local code do not permit grounding trough the neutral (white) wire or in Canada, disconnect the white and green lead from each other and use ground lead to ground unit in accordance with local codes, connect neutral lead to branch circuit-neutral conductor in usual manner see

Figure 3. If your appliance is to be connected to a 3 wire grounded junction box (US only), where local code permit connecting the appliance-grounding conductor to the neutral (white) see Figure 2.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads supplied with the appliance are UL-recognized for connection to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much higher than temperature rating of household wiring.

The current carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire, rather than the wire gauge alone.
