Measure each door from jamb to jamb.
Plan to remove the door(s).
Measure the width of the opening at the countertop, under the upper cabinets and at the base if there is a molding.

Please review your electrical needs prior to purchase. Some appliances may need to be hard wired. Electrical connections must be made and fuel systems installed by qualified and licensed personnel. Improper installations present hazards, which can result in personal injury or property damage. Please contact a licensed residential electrician and your local natural gas or propane supplier for these services. Design, features and specifications are subject to change without notice. Non-metric weights and measurements are approximate.
