Yesterday, I unfortunately noticed that one measurement in the assembly manual is incorrect, at least for my oven model. According to manual AA-1514906-1/page 13, the distance from the base of the cabinet to the bottom edge of the rail should be 167mm (6.6 inches). However, this was 2mm (0.08 inches) too high, causing the oven to hit the upper rail. After pulling the oven out, I double-checked the measurement with a set square and tape measure: I definitely measured 167mm (6.6 inches).
Since I had already installed the countersunk fixing screws, I replaced them with pan head screws so that the rail now rests on the screw head. This results in 165mm (6.5 inches), which fits correctly.
Therefore, be sure to check if the oven fits before tightening the fixing screws (page 14, top picture). There are probably manufacturing tolerances in the oven housing, or this might be a general error in the manual.
Best regards,
Andreas
