Electrical Requirements
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path and the wire gauge are in accordance with local codes. Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the oven is properly grounded. This oven must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system. Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association1 Batterymarch ParkQuincy, MA 02169-7471CSA International8501 East Pleasant Valley RoadCleveland, OH 44131-5575
Electrical ConnectionTo properly install your oven, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.
- Oven must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as specified on the model/serial/rating plate. The model/serial/rating plate is located under the control panel on single ovens and under the control panel on the upper oven cavity on double ovens. See the following illustrations.
- Models rated from 7.3 to 9.6 kW at 240 volts (5.4 to 7.4 kW at 208 volts) require a separate 40-amp circuit. Models rated at 4.8 kW and below at 240 volts (3.6 kW and below at 208 volts) require a separate 20-amp circuit.
- A circuit breaker is recommended.
- Connect directly to the circuit breaker box (or fused disconnect) through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable (with grounding wire). See “Make Electrical Connection” section.
- Flexible conduit from the oven should be connected directly to the junction box.
- Fuse both sides of the line.
- Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for serviceability of the oven.
- A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be provided.
- If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure below:
- Connect a section of solid copper wire to the ends of the flexible conduit leads.
- Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of copper wire using special connectors and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum. Follow the electrical connector manufacturer’s recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices. For power requirements for models KOST107E, KOST100E, KOSE507E, KOSE500E, KODE307E, KODE300E, KODE507E, KODE500E, KODT100E and KODT107E.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Built-In Oven
- Decide on the final location for the oven. Avoid drilling or cutting into house wiring during installation.
- To avoid floor damage, set the oven onto cardboard prior to installation. Do not use handle or any portion of the front frame for lifting.
- Remove the shipping materials and tape from the oven. Remember to keep the corner posts and other materials that may be needed for installation.
- Remove the hardware package from inside the bag containing literature.
- Remove and set aside racks and other parts from inside the oven.
- Move oven and cardboard close to the oven’s final location
Remove Oven Door(s)
IMPORTANT: Use two hands to remove oven door. For double ovens, repeat the process for each door.
- Prior to removing the oven door, prepare a surface where you will place it. This surface should be flat and covered with a soft blanket, or use the corner posts from your packaging material.
- Open the oven door.
- Locate the oven door hinge locks in both corners of the oven door, and then rotate the hinge locks toward the oven door to the unlocked position. If the door hinge lock is not rotated fully (see illustration B), the door will not remove properly.
- Partially close the door to engage the door latch locks. The door will stop at this point.
- Using two hands, grasp the edges of the oven door. Lift and pull the oven door toward you and remove. You may need to gently shift door from side to side as you pull.
- Set the oven door(s) aside on the prepared covered work surface, with the oven door resting on its handle.
- To continue with the oven installation, go to the “Positioning Oven Feet for Multiple Cabinet Cutout Heights” section.
Replace Oven Door(s)
- Using two hands, grasp side edges of door at the midpoint. Face the oven cavity.
- Locate the slots on each side of the oven cavity for the door hinge locks.
- At a 45° angle, align door hinges with slots in the lower front of the oven cavity. Slowly insert door, making sure you maintain the 45° angle. You will know the door is engaged in the slot when you feel a slight drop.
- Lower the oven door to the fully open position. If the oven door does not open to a full 90°, repeat steps 1 through 3.
- Locate the oven door hinge locks in the corners of the oven door, and rotate the hinge locks toward the oven cavity to the locked position. See Step 3 (illustration A) in the “Remove Oven Door(s)” section for proper locked position.
- Close the oven door.
- When the hinges are properly installed and the door closed, there should be an even gap between the door and the control panel. If one side of the oven door is hanging lower than the other, the hinge on that side is not properly installed.
