Hi all,

I have some problems with my english vocabulary so I need to make some
First:
Is it "gas oven" or "gas range" the english (american) name for the device
that is used for coooking dinner in the kitchen? I mean the device that have
integrated a cooktop and a oven. Such device comes in two variants: it is
one that is called "freestanding" 'cause it stands on his own feets, and the
second variant is supposed to be attached to the kitchen cabinets 'cause it
does not have any legs. Which is the american english name for this
"attacheable gas oven"?
My problem is the following: I'm constructing my own kitchen cabinets and I
bought an "attacheable gas oven". I'm looking for instructions on how to
attach the device to the holding cabinet. The user guide included in the
device specifies the size of the clearings for the holding cabinet but does
not tell anything if I need to protect the internal walls of the cabinets
with something thermal. My fear is the device contains an oven. May be the
hot oven can cause a fire on the cabinet? The cabinets are made of
particleboard and painted with oil-based enamel. The instructions from the
fabricant specifies a clearing of 40 millimetres from both sides of the oven
wich has ventilation openings on both sides but no more.
Then I'm looking for some tricks on how do the job, but I'm not capable of
select the correct english keywords. I've been googling for images with "gas
oven" or "gas range" keywords and all the results I get are the freestanding
versions, not the attaceable ones...

So any hint on the correct keywords, or in how the attach such a device to
the cabinet is welcomed
Thanks in advance

First off, I have to compliment you on your English. It is a much
better than any other language that I speak -- or most American speak
as a second language.

Second, I want to make sure that we are talking about the same things.

Third, are you instructions complete. If so, you are probably okay.

Finally, sheetrock (gypsum) make a pretty good fireproofing. You could
install some inside the cabinet opening, but if the instructions are
complete, you're probably okay.

Pat.

See if this helps.
