NOTES:

1. Allow at least 21" (53.3 cm) clearance in front of

oven for door depth when it is open.

2. Dimension G (cutout depth) is critical to the

proper installation of the built-in oven. If the oven

trim does not butt against the cabinet, or if noise

is heard on convection models, verify dimension G

to assure it is the required depth.
