WARNING in Section 3, 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 or ground are aluminum conductors, see WARNING in Section 3,
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

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 French Door oven, the
platform must support 220 lbs. (98.8 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” long conduit. If a longer conduit is desired, there may be one
available for your model. To check availability or order parts, call GE Appliances at
1.800.GE.CARES (1.800.432.2737).
