INSTALL MOUNTING SCREWS (THERMAL OVENS)
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.

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 220 lbs. (99 kg); for a double or combination 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 48” 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.
9
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 a combination
oven, pull the conduit so that
it sits above the lower oven on
the left side (as viewed 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.
13
REPLACING THE THERMAL 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, if equipped, to ensure proper door functionality.
F. Close the oven door.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
• Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed (RESET) or the circuit fuses are replaced.
• Be sure power is in service to the building.
• Check that all packing material and tape have been removed. Failure to remove these materials
could result in damage to the appliance once the appliance has been turned on and surfaces
have heated.
• Remove all items from inside the oven.
• Check to be sure that the mounting screws are installed and flush with the side trim
(see Section 10).
• Check that the bottom trim is installed properly (see Section 11).
• Ensure that air duct opening at bottom of unit is free of obstructions.
• Check that oven rack guides (if applicable) are installed correctly and oven racks function smoothly.
• If applicable - install handles following handle installation instructions and check that both ends are
secured.
OPERATION CHECKLIST
• Turn on the power to the oven (refer to your Owner’s Manual). Verify that the bake and broil
units and all cooking functions operate properly.
• See your Owner’s Manual for the troubleshooting list.
• Be sure all of the oven controls are OFF before leaving the oven.

FOUR-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION
NOTE: If residence leads are aluminum conductors, see WARNING in Section 5, Electrical
Requirements.
NOTE: If using a GFI breaker, the ground wire must be installed
correctly to prevent breaker from tripping. Refer to latest edition
of the NEC, NFPA No. 70, available from the National Fire
Protection Association.
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.
