DOOR ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM
Door Adjustment Mechanism is located on both the right and left doors at the bottom hinges. Only
the left side Adjustment Mechanism is shown in this manual.
NOTE: Adjust the doors inward only until the center gap is even. Over-adjusting can damage the
center seals and make the doors more difficult to open.
A. Using 3/16” hex key, tighten Vertical Adjustment Screw to adjust door up and loosen to adjust
door down.
B. Horizontal Adjustment Screws pivot
the door about an axis. Using a 1/8”
Hex Key, loosen both screws, then
tighten appropriate screw to pivot
door. Once door is in place, verify
both screws are tightened.

right Vertical Adjustment
Screw.
Example 2: Left door low,
center gap larger at bottom.
Steps for adjustment:
A. Loosen inside Horizontal
Adjustment Screw.
B. Tighten outside Horizontal
Adjustment Screw until
center gap even.
C. If left door is still low, tighten
left Vertical Adjustment
Screw.
D. Tighten inside Horizontal
Adjustment Screw.
Example 3: Left door high,
center gap larger at top.
Steps for adjustment:
A. Loosen outside Horizontal
Adjustment Screw.
B. Tighten Outside Horizontal
Adjustment Screw until

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 double oven, the platform must
support 400 lbs. (181 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.

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.

MOUNT THE OVEN
WARNING
Mounting screws must be used. Failure to do so could result in the oven
falling out of the cabinet, causing serious injury.
NOTE: During oven mounting step, ensure that no damage is done to oven gasket which lines
the edge of oven cavity.
NOTE: Before drilling the pilot holes, make sure the oven is pushed as far back into the opening
as it will go and is centered.
NOTE: If the cabinet is particle board, you must use #8 x ¾” particle board screws. These may
be purchased at any hardware store.
A. Drill through the mounting holes (top and bottom) of the side trim for the #8 mounting screws
provided.
B. Secure the oven cabinet with the screws provided.

REPLACING THE LOWER OVEN DOOR
NOTE: The oven door is heavy. You may need help lifting the door high
enough to slide it into the hinge slots. Do not lift the door by the handle.
A. Lift the oven door by grasping each side.
B. With the door at the same angle as the removal position (approximately
1”–2” [2.5 cm–5.1 cm] from the closed position), seat the notch of the
hinge arm into the bottom edge of the hinge slot. The notch of the
hinge arm must be fully seated into the bottom of the slot.
C. Fully open the door. If the door will not fully open, the indentation is not
seated correctly in the bottom edge of the slot.
D. Push the hinge locks up against the front frame of the oven cavity,
to the locked position.
E. Replace hinge bracket. The hinge bracket must be replaced for proper
door functionality.
F. Close the oven door.
