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 200 lbs. for double ovens and 150 lbs.
for single ovens.
If a solid bottom is used, a 6" x 10" rectangle must be
cut out to allow enough cooling airflow during a selfcleaning operation.
–Cut the solid bottom out of 5/8" min. thick
sheeting to fit the inside dimensions of the
cabinet. Measure 10-1/2" from left side and 7"
from the back wall. Cut the ventilation hole 6"
wide and 10" deep.

• Measure and mark the location of the runners or
solid floor.
–13-1/4" 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.
• Cut two pieces of 3/8" to 5/8" thick sheeting, to fit
inside cabinet depth and available inside cabinet
height. If there is no interference below the cutout,
such as drawer runners, the sheeting can rest on the
floor. Secure the sheeting strips or pieces to the
cabinet walls with screws. Lay 2 x 4 or solid bottom
on top of the sheeting and drive screws through the
top and into the sheeting.

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.

Cut appearance
panel
Cut the rail out of finished material:
• The width should match cabinet opening width.
• The height of the top rail should be enough to
securely attach the rail to the appearance panel,
plus 1/4" oven trim overlap.
• The height of the bottom rail should be enough to
securely attach the rail to the appearance panel,
plus 7/8" 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.

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 is 48" for both single
and double conventional ovens. The cable length for
convection type ovens is 54".
Double ovens are rated 6.8 KW at 240 volt, and 5.1 KW
at 208 volt.
Single ovens are rated 3.4 KW at 240 volt, and 2.6 KW
at 208 volt.
16
The back of the ovens have chamfered corners which
provide a “chase” for the conduit when installing a
junction box above or below the oven(s).
The conduit is located on the back of the oven,
approximately 10" from the right side.
For double oven:
• Locate and install the junction box within reach of
the power cord.
– Approximately 10" from the left side of opening
– 56" minimum above the cutout floor
– or, through the left side of cabinet wall into
adjacent cabinet.
For single oven:
• Locate and install the junction box within reach of
the power cord.
– Approximately 10" from left side of opening.
– At least 5" below the cutout floor
– Or 34" minimum above the cutout floor
– or, through the left side of cabinet wall into
adjacent cabinet.
