Step 2

Place the convection oven on a sturdy table that's level with the opening it will be installed in. Be sure the table is large enough and can hold the weight of the oven as they are front heavy and have a tendency to tip over.

Step 3

Connect the wiring to the electrical box. Note that convection ovens must be hard wired to a proper junction box. These ovens do not use a typical plug.

Step 4

Slide the convection oven into the cabinet opening. Open the oven door and use the oven opening to grab and move the oven, rather than the handle of the closed oven door. Be sure the excess wire makes a loop and rests on top of the oven when it is installed.

Step 5

Use mounting holes located inside of the convection oven to determine where to place screws to secure the oven to the cabinet. Double check that the screws will be placed no less than 1/4 inch from the front cutout.

Warning

Always turn off power to any electrical junction box that you will be working with before you install the convection oven.
