service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, 

to the service panel.
Be sure the oven is securely installed in a cabinet that is firmly attached to the house structure.  

Weight on the oven door could cause the oven to tip and result in injury. Never allow anyone to climb, sit, 

stand or hang on the oven door.

(up to 200°F [93.3°C]) generated by the oven.

2   PREPARE THE OPENING

braces or runners must be installed to support the weight 

of the oven. For single ovens, the runners and braces 

must support 200 lbs (91 kg). For double ovens, the 

runners and braces must support 375 lbs. (170 kg).
NOTE: If marks, blemishes or the cutout opening are 

visible above the installed oven, it may be necessary to 

add wood shims under the runners and front trim until 

the marks or opening are covered.
NOTE: If the cabinet does not have a front frame and 

the sides are less than ¾” (1.9 cm) thick, shim both sides 

equally to establish the cutout width.

ATTENTION INSTALLER: All electric wall ovens must be hard-wired (direct-wired) into an 

approved junction box. A plug and receptacle is NOT permitted on these products.
