upward. Replace Hood Fan Unit into the oven. Be careful 
not to pinch the lead wire between the inner bracket and 
the Hood Fan Unit. See Figure 11.

9 OVEN
INSTALLATION
THIS OVEN CANNOT BE PROPERLY INSTALLED WITHOUT REFERRING 
TO THE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOUND ON BOTH TEMPLATES.
THE NEXT STEP IS TO READ AND FOLLOW MOUNTING INFORMATION 
ON BOTH TOP CABINET AND WALL TEMPLATES.
NOTE: THIS OVEN SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO AT LEAST ONE WALL 
STUD.
MOUNTING PLATE
1. Separate 4 Toggle Bolts, packed in the INSTALLATION
HARDWARE, from the Toggle Nuts.
2.
IMPORTANT
Use the mounting template
provided to Use wood screws to attach mounting 
plate to the stud or studs. Use Toggle Bolts to attach 
mounting plate through the holes UNLESS THOSE 
HOLES ARE LOCATED ON THE STUD. Insert one 
Toggle Bolt where appropriate (these correspond 
to holes of the Wall 
Template) and put the 
Toggle Nuts onto the 
Toggle Bolts. Figure 13. 
Refer to instructions in 
Wall Template.
3. Position the Mounting Plate with the Toggle Bolts
attached at the wall location and insert Toggle Nuts 
and Bolts through the holes in the wall with the Toggle 
Nuts closed. Figure 15. Use Wood Screws to attach the 
Mounting Plate to studs. 
NOTE:
Before insertion, be sure you leave a space more
than the thickness of the wall between the Mounting Plate 
and the end of each of the Toggle Nuts (in the closed 
position). If you do not leave enough space, the Toggle 
Nut will not be able to open on the other side of the wall. 
Also, once a Toggle Nut opens, it cannot be withdrawn 
from the hole; therefore make sure all of the Toggles are 
in the correct position before insertion.
4. Align the Mounting Plate carefully and hold in position
while tightening Toggle Bolts. Pull Toggle Bolt toward 
you and turn clockwise to tighten. Figure 14.
