Bosch Benchmark Series 30 Inch Slide-In Electric Range Installation Instructions - Manuel (Page 8)

General Information
Overall Dimensions
Location Level and Plumb
For best results, cabinets, countertops, walls and floors in
the installation location should be as level and plumb as
possible. Variance may cause damage to countertops and
floors during installation, and may adversely affect cooking
and baking performance.
Installation Hints
To make the range lighter and easier to handle during
installation, remove the range oven door and warming
drawer (see “Removing the Oven Door” on page 13).
If the warming drawer is not removed, then tape must be
placed securely on the warming drawer before installation
to prevent it from opening while the range is being installed.
Place a piece of cardboard or cloth under the range during
installation to protect floors.
Electrical Requirements
Refer to rating label for more information. See the product
“ Rating Label ” in the section on Service in this manual.
We recommend that the range be installed with a
power cord set (not supplied with U.S. models). The
electrical rating of the power cord set must be 120/240 volt,
40 amperes minimum. The power cord set must be marked
“For Use with Ranges.” Always use a new power cord.

Electric Outlet Location
A flush mount 208/240 VAC dedicated circuit outlet is
required. Use the diagram below to make sure your
installation in properly prepared for the range. Note the
available space for the electrical outlet is shown in box (E)
in the illustration following.

Verify that wiring to the house is adequate. Contact your
local utility company to verify that the present electric
service to your home is adequate. In some instances,
the size of the wiring to the house and service switch
must be increased to handle the electrical load
demanded by the range. Some wiring codes require a
separate circuit with separate disconnect switch and
fuses either in the main entrance panel or in a separate
switch and fuse box.
The range requires a minimum of a three-wire 120/240
or 120/208 volt, 40 - 50 amp, 60 Hz AC circuit. Check
local codes for proper amperage ratings. A four-wire
connection is preferred. Most local building regulations
and codes require that electrical wiring be done by
licensed electricians. Be sure to install your range
according to the electric codes in your region.
Electrical kW Rating
Ranges are dual rated for use on either 120/240 VAC or
120/208 VAC. Check the rating label for the kW rating.
Reference the kW rating in the table below to determine
amperage requirements.
___ 4. Move the range unit into place in front of the
installation opening, leaving the bottom packaging
on the unit to avoid damaging flooring.
___ 5. Plug the range into a properly configured
receptacle.
___ 6. Protect the flooring from damage, then lift the
range off of the bottom packaging and slide the
range all the way into place, making sure to route
the power cord correctly.
___ 7. Reinstall the oven door and warming drawer
removed in step 3 above.
___ 8. Consult the complete installation instructions and
follow the remainder of the procedures listed,
including performing an operation test.
___ 3. Removing the oven door and warming drawer prior
to installation reduces the unit weight and makes
the range easier to move. Additionally, the removal
of the oven door provides access to handhold for
lifting.
