• 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:
