Preparing the oven cavity
WARNING:
It is important to the performance of the oven and the protection of adjoining cabinets that
the following installation preparation is observed.
1. The oven cavity floor should accommodate an opening to allow a satisfactory flow
of air to circulate around the appliance.
2. If possible the rear wall of the oven cavity should also have an opening – it should
be clear to allow for improved air circulation around the appliance.
The above steps will greatly reduce the outer oven surface temperatures making the
kitchen environment safer. It will also protect both the appliance and the adjoining
cabinets.
Void Cutout
If the oven is mounted in a tall or semi-tall cabinet, there must be a minimum gap of 1
cut out of the shelf and behind the upper cabinet to allow air to flow freely.
A void must be cut out in the shelf of the cabinet. Leave 4" of shelf material around the void.
When installing a double oven additional support must be added to the shelf with the void. The
support must be able to withstand a minimum weight of 245 lbs (111kg) for the 24" double oven
and 265lbs (120kg) for the 30" double oven.
If insufficient airflow is provided, the life of the appliance will be shortened.
NOTE: Install false backs for storage spaces. This will prevent contents from falling through the
vent space. In addition, warm air will not interfere with your stored contents.
Securing the oven
Once correctly wired into (while electrically isolated from) the main power, place the oven into the
recess and ensure the appliance is parallel to the front fascia of the enclosure, use packing under
the appliance if necessary. Four screws are supplied to secure the oven to the cupboard cavity.
The fixing holes are in the oven trim surrounds (visible when you open the oven door(s). Slide the
oven fully into the recess and insert the four screws through the mounting holes and into the
cupboard surround to secure the oven position. We recommend a flush to cupboard face
installation. The measurement of the front trim of the oven (20mm) is designed to equal normal
cupboard facing material after allowing for the body of the oven to be secured against the
cupboard frame.
