The oven support or base surface must be solid plywood, solid wood, or a material verified to meet the temperature and strength requirements needed for your installation. No fiberboard, laminated/coated wood or other material should be used that is not verified to meet temperature and strength requirements. All materials used in installation must withstand temperatures of 194 °F (90 °C). The support surface must be level and flat from side to side, and from front to rear.

Braces must run front to rear, meet all material and temperature requirements, and be flat and level. The bracing should be 2" (5 cm) minimum width to support the oven side rails.
