MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING:
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.
Place oven on table or platform even with the cutout opening. For a single oven, the platform must
support 200 lbs. (91 kg); and for a double oven, the platform must support 375 lbs. (170 kg). Connect the
flexible conduit to the electrical junction box as shown below*. Position the conduit in such a manner
that it will lie behind the unit in a natural loop when the oven is installed**. You will need to purchase an
appropriate strain relief clamp to complete the connection of the conduit to the junction box.

* Ovens come equipped with a 40" or 54" long conduit. If a longer conduit is desired, there may be one
available for your model. To check availability or order parts, call 1.800.GE.CARES.
** Double Oven with upper microwave oven we recommend install the conduit to side of junction box as
shown in illustration above.

THREE-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION
NOTE: If residence leads are aluminum conductors, see
WARNING in Section 5, Electrical Requirements.
When connecting to a three-conductor branch circuit, if local
codes permit:
A. Connect the oven ground conductor along with the neutral
(white) lead to the branch circuit neutral (white or gray in
color), using a wire nut.
B. Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red lead
and the oven black lead to the branch circuit black lead in
accordance with local codes, using wire nuts.
C. Install proper strain relief clamp.
D. Install junction box cover.

FOUR-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION
NOTE: If residence leads are aluminum conductors, see WARNING in Section 5, Electrical Requirements.
When connecting to a four-conductor branch circuit, if local codes permit:
A. Free the neutral (white) lead from being restrained to any other
wires. If necessary, cut the neutral (white) lead and then re-strip
it to expose the proper length of conductor.
B. Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or bare copper) in
accordance with local codes.
C. Connect the oven neutral (white) lead to the branch circuit
neutral (white or gray) in accordance with local codes, using a
wire nut.
D. Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red lead and the
oven black lead to the branch circuit black lead in ac cor dance
with local codes, using wire nuts.
E. Install proper strain relief clamp.
F. Install junction box cover.

SLIDE OVEN INTO OPENING
A. Loop (do not tie) a 36" (91 cm) string around the conduit before the oven is slid into place. This will
keep the conduit from falling behind the oven.
B. Lift oven into cabinet cutout
using the oven opening as a
grip. Carefully push against oven
front frame. Do not push against
outside edges.
C. As you slide the oven back, pull
the string so that the conduit
will lie on top of the oven in a
natural loop. For double oven
with upper microwave oven pull
conduit so that it sits above left
side of the lower oven (as view
from the front).
D. When you are sure the conduit
is out of the way, slide the oven
¾ way back into the opening.
Remove the string by pulling on
one end of the loop.
