INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

hole with the power supply cord bushing 

(supplied) to prevent damage to the cord 

from the rough metal edge.

Cut out the venting areas (with the saber saw)
• Roof-venting: cut out the shaded area 

marked L on the upper cabinet template.

• Wall-venting: cut out the shaded area 

marked F on the rear wall template.

• Room-venting: go to Step 5: Install the 

Mounting Plate.

Complete whichever venting system you have 

chosen. Use caulking compound to seal the 

exterior wall or roof opening around the wall 

cap or roof cap.

Step 5: Install the Mounting Plate

The oven must be connected to at least one wall 

stud.

Center the rear wall template in the space by 

lining up the plumb line on the wall with the 

centerline on the template. Then securely 

tape or tack the rear wall template in place. 

Make sure the minimum width is 30 inches 

and that the top of the rear wall template is 

located a minimum of 30 inches above the 

cooking surface.

NOTE

• If the cabinets are not plumb, adjust the rear 

wall template to the cabinets. If the front edge of 

the cabinet is lower than the back edge, adjust 

the template to be level with the cabinet front.

Drill holes at points A and B. Drill the third 

hole inside area C, through one of the bottom 

holes to match the location of a stud. If there 

is a stud, drill a 3/16 hole for lag screws. If 

there is no stud, drill a 5/8 hole for toggle 

bolts. These holes must be used for 

mounting. If the holes are not used, the 

installation will not be secure. The installer 

must use these holes for proper installation. 

Use toggle bolts through these holes, unless 

one of them lines up with a stud. Use a lag 

screw for studs. Make sure to use at least 1 

lag screw in a stud, and 2 toggle bolts in the 

drywall or the plaster.
