INSTALLATION

STEP 5: INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE

THE OVEN MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST ONE
WALL STUD.

1. Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30

″

wide space. Use the mounting plate as the template for
the rear wall. Place the mounting plate on the wall,
making sure that the tabs are against the bottom of the
cabinet. Line up the notch and center line on the
mounting plate to the center line on the wall.

2. While holding the mounting plate with one hand, draw

circles on the wall at holes A, B, C and D. Four holes
must be used for mounting. If the holes are not used, the
installation will not be secure. Installer must use these
holes for proper installation. Use toggle bolts through
these holes unless one of them lines up with a stud. Use
a wood screw for studs.

NOTE: Draw a fifth circle inside area E, through one of
the bottom holes to match the location of a stud.

For wall-vented: The oven requires a rear wall cutout
opening for the rear wall duct and the exhaust adaptor
must be attached to the mounting plate. See the next page
on how to prepare the rear wall cutout opening and the
exhaust adaptor/mounting plate for wall-vented.

3. Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3 / 16

″

hole for lag screws. If there is no stud, drill a 5 / 8

″

hole

for toggle bolts. Make sure to use at least 1 lag screw in
a stud, and 4 toggle bolts in the drywall or the plaster.

4. Attach the plate to the wall. To use spring toggle reads

bolts: Remove the toggle wings from the bolts. Insert the
bolts into the mounting plate and replace the spring
toggle reads to 3 / 4

″

past the bolt ends. Insert the

spring toggle reads into the holes in the wall to mount
the bracket. You may pull forward on the bracket to help
in tightening the toggle bolts. Tighten all bolts.
