wall oven cabinetry, 30" minimum width. The front
surface of the ovens will be nearly flush with sur­rounding cabinetry. To obtain optimal appearance,
cabinet cutouts must be exact. The examples shown
here illustrate typical styles of 30" cabinets and oven
fit. Installation instructions for each of these basic
cabinetry styles are provided in this section.

Designer Note:

possible, align the oven with
cabinetry details such as

Frameless

Use the information in this dimension drawing for
typical frameless cabinets. The front face of the oven
will be flush with cabinetry doors or drawers.

Whenever possible, order 30" frameless cabinet with
the cutout sized to fit the oven. If you are using stock
cabinets, additional finished filler pieces may be
required to cover openings.
Rough opening for single and double ovens:

• Depth–23-1/2" min. from inside back to front of
cabinet or side panel, excluding doors or drawer
fronts.
–If the cabinet is not 23-1/2" deep, the back of the

cabinet should be cutout. The cutout should be
minimized in order to maintain structural strength
and squareness of the cabinet.

• Width–28-1/2" min., 28-5/8" max.

• Height–for double oven 51-13/16" min.

• Height–for single oven 27-1/4" min.

Both single and double ovens require 11/16" overlap
around edges of opening on both sides. Allow 1" for
top and bottom overlap.

• Allow 1/8" clearance between top of oven and
cabinet door or panel and 1/8" between bottom of
oven and cabinet drawer.

• Installation of double oven requires a total height of
53-3/16" including clearances at top and bottom.

• Installation of single oven requires a total height
of 28-1/2" including clearances.

oven supports

The ovens may be supported by either a solid bottom
or 2 x 4 runners.

• The support must be level and rigidly mounted,
flush with the bottom edge of the cutout.

• The entire weight of the oven is supported by 2 x 4
runners or the solid floor and must be capable of
supporting 275 lbs. for double ovens and 150 lbs.
for single ovens.

• Measure and mark the location of the runners or
solid floor.
–12" recommended from the floor to the top of

support, for double ovens.

–32-1/2" recommended from the floor to the top of

support, for single ovens.

Determine
need for
filler panels

If the cabinets being used have an opening that is
taller than the maximum dimensions indicated for
the ovens, filler panels can be made to fill the gaps.
Stock filler strips are usually available or for larger
gaps order an extra drawer front. Drawer fronts are
recommended because they will match the cabinetry
and have finished edges. Any cut edges will be seen
and should be finished.

Frameless cabinets usually come with a front panel
covering the opening. For the optimum finished look,
this panel can be removed and used to construct filler
panels.

The oven support floor and supports should be
installed at the required locations.

If there is a gap between the oven support floor and
the bottom of the opening, a bottom filler panel
should be constructed to fill the gap.

Measure from the oven support floor to the top of the
opening. If the opening height is larger than the
maximum cutout height, a filler panel should be
constructed to fill the gap.

Filler panel
construction

We suggest that the filler panel be constructed using
4 pieces:

• Appearance panel to match doors and drawers.

• A rail which will be covered by the oven overlaps
and conceal any slight gap between the top or
bottom of the oven and the start of the filler panel.
The face of the rail should be made of finished
matching material; the cut edges and ends do not
need to be finished.

• Cleats which will be used to secure the filler panel
and rail to the cabinet. One for each side.

Cabinetry Modification Suggestions

Built-In Ovens

Cut rail
for filler
panel

Cut appearance
panel

Cut the rail out of finished material:

• The width should match cabinet opening width.

• The height of the top and bottom rail should be
enough to securely attach the rail to the appearance
panel, plus 1" oven trim overlap.

• The height of both the top and bottom rails should
be adjusted depending upon the height of the gap
to be filled or to enhance appearance.

Use drawer fronts for appearance panels or cut
finished material and finish raw edges.

• The appearance panel width should match drawer
fronts or doors.

• Make the appearance panel appropriate height to
fill the gap above or below the oven, allowing for
reveals and overlaps to match existing drawers or
doors.

Determine
location
of cleats

• To find the exact position of the cleats, place the
appearance panel onto the cabinet in desired
position and align to match the other drawers and
doors.

• Use a pencil to mark the back side of the panel
where it meets the cabinet corners.

For the top filler panel:

• Cut 2 cleats out of 3/4" thick material, approxi­mately 1-1/4" wide.

• Cut the cleats to a length leaving approximately
1/2" at the bottom of the appearance panel to
attach the rail.

• Position the outside edge and top of the cleat
against the corner pencil marks.

• Secure the cleat to the appearance panel with
screws.

Note:

The screws should be long enough to secure the cleats to the

filler panel without penetrating the appearance side.

• Place rail against cleats and flush with the outside
edges of the cleats. Secure with wood screws. If the
appearance panel is very narrow, cleats can be
attached to the rail.

For the bottom filler panel:

• Cut 2 cleats out of 3/4" thick material, approxi­mately 1-1/4" wide.

• Cut the cleats to a length leaving approximately
1/2" at the top of the filler panel to attach the rail.

• Position the outside edge and bottom of the cleat
against the corner pencil marks.

• Secure the cleat to the appearance panel with
screws.

Note:

If appearance panel is very narrow, cleats can be attached to

the rail.

Note:

The screws should be long enough to secure rail to the filler

panel without penetrating the finished face of the filler panel.

you may need to space the filler panel out from the

Monogram built-in single and double ovens require
a separate, properly grounded 3-wire 120/208 or 120/
240 volt, 60 Hz power supply, protected by a time
delay fuse or circuit breaker. Ovens are supplied with a
flexible power cable, which must be attached to a
junction box. The cable length for these ovens is 48".

Double ovens are rated 8.0 KW at 240 volt, and 6 KW
at 208 volt.
Single ovens are rated 4.0 KW at 240 volt, and 3 KW at
208 volt.
