GE PT9800SHSS Manuel De Montage

This appliance must be properly grounded.

 To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

 To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before 

beginning installation.

WARNING:

 Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to copper leads can result 

in an electrical hazard or fire. Use only connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum and follow the 

manufacturer’s recommended procedure closely.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your appliance connected by a qualified 

electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the appliance.
You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 Hertz electrical system. If you connect to 

aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize 

a four-conductor connection to an electric oven. When installing an electric oven in new construction, 

a mobile home, recreational vehicle or an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the 

neutral conductor, refer to the section on four-conductor branch circuit connections.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven 

according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your 

oven must be wired and fused to meet the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70 – latest edition, 

available from the National Fire Protection Association.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency and connected to an individual, 

properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse. See the rating plate located on the 

oven frame to determine the rating of the product. 

Use the chart below to determine the minimum recommended dedicated circuit protection:

DO NOT shorten the flexible conduit. The conduit strain relief clamp must be securely attached to the 

junction box and the flexible conduit must be securely attached to the clamp. If the flexible conduit will not 

fit within the clamp, do not install the oven until a clamp of the proper size is obtained.
The 3 power leads supplied with this appliance are suitable for connection to heavier gauge household 

wiring. The insulation of these 3 leads is rated for temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of 

the household wiring. The current-carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by the wire gauge and the 

temperature rating of the insulation around the wire.

•   Slide the oven the remaining way into 

the opening so that the side flanges and 
control panel are against the cabinet 
frame. Make sure that the oven is centered 
in the opening.

•   Open the door, place a turntable tray in the 

oven and make sure that the tray in the 
unit is level.

•   Drill pilot holes through the side flanges.
•   Drive the color-matched screws into the 

side flanges. It is recommended that the 
screws be hand tightened.

Mounting screws 

must be used. Failure to do so could result in 

the oven falling out of the cabinet, causing 

serious injury.

NOTE: During oven mounting step, ensure that no 

damage is done to oven gasket which lines the 

edge of oven cavity.
NOTE: Before drilling the pilot holes, make sure 

the oven is pushed as far back into the opening 

as it will go and is centered.
NOTE: If the cabinet is particle board, you must 

use #8 x ¾” particle board screws. These may be 

purchased at any hardware store.
A.  Drill through the mounting holes (top and 

bottom) of the side trim for the #8 mounting 

screws provided.

B.  Secure the oven cabinet with the screws 

provided.

•  With oven installed, attach the bottom trim through its mounting holes in front vertical brace using 

two trim screws provided. Bottom trim lip must be placed under flange of bottom air duct.

IMPORTANT: If this unit is ever removed from the cabinet or the oven is ever pulled out for service, 

the bottom trim must be removed first or damage to the trim will occur.

A.  Locate included oven rack guide mounting hardware.
B.  Place oven rack guides on cavity wall studs with L bracket towards back of cavity as shown.
C.  Install guides using the 8 provided mounting nuts.
D. See Owner’s Manual for detailed rack installation and different rack configuration.

The Screws 

Must Be a 

Minimum of 

1/4” (6 mm) 

From the 

Front of  

the Cutout.

 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 

200 lbs. (91 kg); and for a double oven, the platform must support 375 lbs. (170 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” or 54” 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.

 ** Double Oven with upper microwave oven we recommend install the conduit to side of junction box as 

shown in illustration above.

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 bare oven ground conductor with the crimped 

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.
