PREPARE THE OPENING
Cabinet space:

Cutout: 22
3/16
″ width
38
″ height
3/8
″ min. on either side
(See Fig. 2)
It’s best to use a template to make a straight cut.
Place the template on a level base line, 22
″ to 28″
above the floor. This will place the oven cavity 36
″
or 42
″ above the floor.
The cabinet must have solid sides,
back and bottom. The bottom must
be solid either at floor level or with
the bottom edge of the cutout. Any
openings around the gas or electrical outlets
must be sealed. All cabinet openings must be
sealed at the time of installation to prevent
drafts. Drafts will affect safe use of the oven.
SPECIAL NOTES:
• Make sure the oven is installed at the specified
height. The unit has been tested and approved for
installation, in accordance with safety standards at
this height.
• If the floor is to be the solid bottom, two runners,
centered within the cutout opening 11
″ apart may
be used to support the oven. These runners must
support 130 lbs. and must be level and straight.
• The wall coverings, countertops and cabinets
around the oven should be able to withstand
temperatures of up to 200°F generated by
the oven.
IF YOU ARE REPLACING A UNIT
THAT HAS A CUTOUT HEIGHT
OF MORE THAN 38
″:
Shut off the main gas supply before removing
the existing oven. Leave the gas off until the
new hookup is complete.
Measure how much your cutout height
exceeds 38
″.
Raise your gas inlet pipe if necessary.
Remove the storage drawer.
Extend the leg levelers (using a 3/16
″ hex
socket driver) by the amount measured in
Step B.
Insert the oven into the cutout and adjust the
levelers so that the oven racks are level and
the top of the control panel overlaps the top
of the cutout.
