Salty
needed to replace a 1957 oven and this fit without tearing out the 1957 cabinets.
Get Ready: Make sure you get the Trim Kit TKW700 to cover the gap above the oven as this unit is shorter than most old units. You may have to go to Summit Web site to find where to buy the trim kit as it may not be available on Amazon. While you are at the Summit WEB site, download the installation instructions so you can plan out what you will need to do for the install, like gas plumbing parts or if you have to modify the cabinetry.
The unit is heavy, so you should have 2 people to lift it.
Delivery: AM trucking was a pain as they gave a 4 hour window and came after that. You need to be at the location to receive it, which was the biggest problem for me as this was in a rental unit. Make use of the tracking information from the trucking company to make it less painful. You need to open the box and inspect the oven for damage before the delivery guys leave!
Hook Ups: The oven plugs into electricity with a 3 prong plug for 110v. The most challenging part is the gas line, and you need to get it right. my old oven had the gas inlet at the top. This one comes in from the bottom. That meant cutting into the dry wall, adding black pipe to go down to bellow the oven compartment, add a gas valve, add a flex pipe to the front of the cabinet bellow. A hole in the bottom of the oven cabinet and then brass fittings to the inlet on the bottom of the oven to attach the supplied pressure regulator which has it's own shut off valve.
Fit: Be aware that the nice towel bar handle on the oven door and broiler door stick out more than many old units, and may interfere with drawers at right angles to your oven (as it did mine, I had trim a bit of the drawer face). The face and the Trim Kit TKW700 rest on the face of the cabinetry. To finish install, after everything works, you need to open oven door and screw in to face of cabinetry and repeat with broiler door.
It looks good, works well and use a glow bar instead of standing pilot, a very good improvement over my old oven.
I like that it uses a thermostat knob instead of digital control, as the digital controls have longevity problems.
