INSTALLATION

Before Installing
Proper Location and Dimensions

CAUTION

  • The cabinet base platform must be able to
    support 202 lbs (92 kg) for this appliance. If the
    cabinet does not have a solid bottom, two braces
    or runners must be installed level with the
    bottom of the cutout to support the weight of
    the appliance. Make sure the base is level and
    the front of the cabinet is square. If the cabinet
    base is not level, the oven racks will tend to slide
    out when opening the door.

  • Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings
    around the oven can withstand the temperature
    (up to 194 ℉ (90 ℃)) generated by the oven.
    Discoloration, delamination or melting may
    occur.

  • DO NOT remove spacers c on the side walls of
    the built-in oven. These spacers center the oven
    in the space provided. The oven must be
    centered to prevent excess heat buildup that
    may result in heat damage or fire.

  • Kitchen cabinets in contact with the oven must
    be heat resistant up to 194°F (90°C), and fronts
    of nearby units up to at least 158°F (70°C).

  • The information in this manual should be
    followed exactly. Failure to do so could result in
    fire or electrical shock, causing property
    damage, personal injury or death.

  • DO NOT put any weight on the oven door. Never
    allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the
    oven door. The oven could be tipped and injury
    might result from contact with hot food or the
    oven itself.

  • DO NOT block the oven air exhaust located at
    the bottom of the oven. Blocking the exhaust
    may cause cabinet damage and product
    malfunction.

  • The junction box a must be flush with the
    conduit opening b of the cabinet as shown
    below.

  • Allow at least a 23″ clearance for the door depth
    when it is open.

  • Do not remove the gliding racks from the base
    packing. Gliding racks are attached separately to
    the top and bottom of the oven.

NOTE

  • If marks, blemishes or the cutout opening are
    visible above the installed appliance, it may be
    necessary to add wood shims under the runners
    and front trim until the marks or opening are
    covered.

  • If the cabinet does not have a front frame and
    the sides are less than 3/4” (1.9 cm) thick, shim
    both sides equally to establish the cutout width.
