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); and 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 1.800.GE.CARES.

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.
