Installation Preparation
PROVIDE OVEN SUPPORTS
Ovens may be supported by either a solid bottom or
by 2 x 4 runners.
• The support must be level and rigidly mounted, flush
with the bottom edge of the cutout.
STEP 1 REMOVE PACKAGING
• Remove the carton, plastic coverings and styrofoam
side/corner posts.
• To prevent damage to the floor, do not remove the
styrofoam base until the oven is ready to be installed.
• Remove oven contents, shelves and packaging.
• Be sure to remove protective tape from the door
latch pin.
If a solid bottom is used:
• Cut two pieces of 3/4" thick sheeting to fit inside
cabinet depth and available inside cabinet height. If
there is no interference below the cutout, such as
drawer runners, the sheeting can rest on the floor.
Secure the sheeting strips or pieces to the cabinet
walls with screws. Lay 2 x 4 or solid bottom on top of
the sheeting and drive screws through the top and
into the sheeting.
• The entire weight of the oven is supported by 2 x 4
runners or solid floor and must be capable of
supporting 350 lbs. For double ovens and 250 lbs. For
single ovens.
