Oven Installation
Bob joins electrician Larry Dana in the kitchen of the Quechee farmhouse as he installs the Kenmore Elite 30" self-cleaning convection oven. The oven requires 220 high-voltage current as it will be delivering a high degree of heat. Larry recommends hiring a licensed electrician for this kind of installation. Bob underscores that, as a rule of thumb, you should always connect your ground wires first. Next Larry connects the neutral wire saving the potentially hot for last. Rather than putting the junction box back in the wall after connecting the wires, Larry leaves it floating behind the unit to facilitate servicing later on if it becomes necessary. In addition to the aesthetics, another advantage of the flush controls these newly designed appliances is that without the clutter of toggle switches and buttons, they are a lot easier to read and to keep clean.
