Stove In
Mike lucked out, he was at a Mariner's game. So I asked Gary, but his buddy actually did the helping.
It took a while to transfer the power cable from the old oven to the new one. Did you know that ovens don't come with a power cable? Mainly I had to fight with the strain relief. Did you know that the strain relief comes with the cable, not the oven? Making it fit the new opening took a fair bit of modification, and I had to unscew a lot of things they don't normally plan on you unscrewing.
Anyway, once I got it all in place plugged in and leveled, it worked first time out. It was a bit tricky to get it in place because I had to install the anti-tip bracket. While I'm unlikely to climb on the open oven door and tip the stove over, you never know what the future holds.
I ran up the oven, and then all the burners to burn off any manufacturing leftovers. It beeps when it's done preheating. It got to 400 in 13 minutes.
Tomorrow I think I'm going to bake bread, And for once, I won't have to sit there with the multimeter turning the oven on and off manually the whole time. Although I doubt the oven will be able to control the temperature as tightly as I could (+/- 5 degrees!).
Did you know that ovens don't come with Broiler pans? They seem to be a premium as a reward for registering your warranty and coughing up $9 for shipping.
I'm just going to keep the old one. Never used it anyway.
