Installing an Oven
Posted by Wayne
This was about as easy as a project can get. Once again, you’re probably thinking that you don’t “install” an electric oven, you just plug it in. But ours didn’t come with a plug to plug in.
When we bought the our appliances the salesman asked if we wanted a $40 cord/plug for the stove. “No,” I says to him, “I already have a cord from the old stove.” I didn’t want to get a new cord because of the cost, but also because what if the male plug I got didn’t fit into the female outlet that was already installed behind the stove location? It’s probably standard, but you never know. There are a lot of 220v plug configurations.
I removed the power cord from the old stove and connected it to the new one in about 15 minutes. Then I plugged it in and pushed it back into place.
The electric stove we picked is our only “regret” in the whole kitchen. It looks great and we’re not professional cooks so I don’t think we need the additional capabilities of a gas, but the ceramic stove top is a pain in the butt to clean. If we could do it again we’d definitely choose gas.
