As a finishing touch, cover the exposed plywood with a white laminate (figure G) then fasten and bolt everything down. To establish an Ethernet connection to the oven, you can utilize your wireless network. Place the wireless transmitter in a hidden but accessible place within close proximity of the oven. A cabinet above the oven would work. Drill a hole in the bottom of the cabinet big enough for the power cable and Ethernet cable to fit through (figure H).
Before sliding the oven into place, remove the oven doors to make it easier to handle (figure I). Note: The doors themselves can weigh about 50 pounds each. Next, hook up all the connections needed. Connect the power (figure J) between the oven and the circuit box that has been installed at the rear of the cabinet. (Note: This oven requires installation of a grounded 4 wire, 240v 50Amp circuit with its own circuit breaker.)
Next plug in the Ethernet connection between the oven and the wireless transmitter (figure K). Utilize the two aluminum strips that come with the unit to make it easier to slide the oven into place (figure L). Remove the adhesive backing before setting them down.
Push the oven into place (figure M) making sure that it sits flush with the cabinets. Important: In order for the unit to function properly, it has to sit absolutely level. Once it's in place, make any necessary adjustments using shims (figure N), then screw the oven to the plywood (figure O). Important: Read and follow all manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper installation.
