Q: QuestionWhat are the cut out dimensions for installation?

Asked 3 years ago by Nettycrocker.

• A:Answer You will need 3 to 4 inches more at the top than what the Bosch website says. We ran into this problem when the installer came with the ovens. We had the correct dimensions as per the website but the top panel with the controls goes on the outside of the cut out. We had to have a cabinet maker come and make adjustments before the ovens could be installed.

Q: QuestionWe have the Bosch 8650/07 series. +9 years old and it seems the circuit board has failed. Based on what I have read about this model the problem seems common & expensive to repair with no guarantees. Has this issue been addressed in the 8651 series?
