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.
