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. 24″ MIN. 24″ MIN. 22 3/16″ 38″ 39″ 22″ TO 28″* 23 3/4″ 2 Runners on 11″ Centers Fig. 1 * SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TO SUIT BOTH STANDARD CABINETRY AND DESIRED OVEN WORKING HEIGHT.

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″: A Shut off the main gas supply before removing the existing oven. Leave the gas off until the new hookup is complete.
