• If the dimension of DEPTH (C) is more than 21", the outlet 
location may be any area on the rear wall.
• The oor of the opening should be constructed of plywood 
strong enough to support the weight of the oven and oor 
load (about 100 pounds). The oor should be level and 
90˚ with the face of the cabinet for proper installation and 
operation of the oven. Be sure to check the local building 
code as it may require that the opening be enclosed with 
sides, ceiling and rear partition. The proper functioning of 
the oven does not require the enclosure.
