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.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
WARNING:
Before beginning the installation, 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.
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.
Make sure the wall coverings, counters and cabinets around the oven can withstand the heat
(up to 200°F [93.3°C]) generated by the oven.
