Placethe bottom of the template on a level base line,22”to

Ifyou are replacingand older oventhat hada cutout hei of morethan 38”, see page 6.

II is important that the oven be installed at or above the minimum height specified. The unii has been tested and approved, in accordance with safety standard% at this height.

Drafts inside the oven cabinet may affect safe use of your oven. Any openings aroundgas and electricsewice outlets — must be sealed at the time of installation to prevent drafts.
