• 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.
