Planning the Installation
Cabinet Cutout (Continued)
Support Platform
warning
The top surface of the support platform must be installed flush with the cutout in the front of the cabinet or wall and any trim. Failure to install the platform properly may cause the exhaust vent to deform and/or become obstructed. An obstructed exhaust area may cause the oven to malfunction. See below.
Provide a platform within the cabinet to support the oven. A properly supported piece of 3/4” (1.9 cm) thick plywood is recommended.
All contact surfaces between the appliance and the cabi- net, including the support platform, must be sturdy, straight and level. The oven cannot be leveled after it has been installed.
