ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (CONT.)
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. See the rating
plate located on the oven frame to determine the rating of the product.
Use the chart below to determine the minimum recommended dedicated circuit protection:
DO NOT shorten the flexible conduit. The conduit strain relief clamp must be securely attached to the
junction box and the flexible conduit must be securely attached to the clamp. If the flexible conduit will
not fit within the clamp, do not install the oven until a clamp of the proper size is obtained.
The 3 power leads supplied with this appliance are suitable for connection to heavier gauge
household wiring. The insulation of these 3 leads is rated for temperatures much higher than
the temperature rating of the household wiring. The current-carrying capacity of the conductor is
governed by the wire gauge and the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire.

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).
