" We're gonna get started today with the oven, and Larry, you're just basically getting started. Now what kind of current do you have to provide to a big oven like this?"
" This is a high voltage current."
" 220?"
" 220 volt. Yes."
" Now, just what is 220?"
" 220 is a high voltage. It's 2 110's put together."
" That's pretty simple."
" Right."
" And what you're doing essentially is delivering a lot more power to a unit that needs it because it's providing a high degree of heat."
" Right. That's correct."
" Now, is this a do-it-yourself project? If you've got folks that are doing their own installations at home, do you recommend that they attempt this?"
" No, I don't. It's life threatening. You ought to get a guy who's a professional to do it for you."
" That's correct."
" Wanna take us through the steps here? I mean, what kind of a cord is it that's coming out of the wall?"
" We're on an 83 cord from the power panel in the basement"
" Uh huh."
" And put it into this splice box. And this 1 here is the line coming from the oven itself."
" So you get the cable in there. You tighten it up."
" Tighten it up."
" Which wires do you hook up first?"
" I hook the ground wire up 1st to the junction box----"
" Uh huh."
" to this green ground screw down here on the bottom."
" There's kind of a rule of thumb that you always connect your grounds 1st."
" That's correct. I always do my ground 1st."
" It's an added safety feature."
" And then my next 1 I do is a neutral wire."
" And those would be the white wires. So you save the potentially hot for last."
" Yes."
" Okay. Now, in an oven connection like this, a junction box doesn't necessarily go back into the wall, right? It just stays loose back there?"
" Yeah. It's gonna be flowing solid. The unit can be set out on the floor for maintenance."
" If you need servicing, yeah. And now the more tedious part has to do with the trim etcetera. But this is 1 of the new Kenmore elite ovens. It's a self-cleaning convection oven, and that's a great feature, the convection. You see the fan back there, but that really allows you to cook a lot of different things in the oven at once, and it really distributes the heat all around. And I think what a lot of people like about these new designs is the fact that all the controls are flushed. Because of electronics, you really don't have any more knobs and toggle switches or buttons or whatever. This can be easily cleaned and easily read."
