This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.The installer must perform a ground continuity checkon the power outlet box before beginning theinstallation to insure that the outlet box is properlygrounded. If not properly grounded, or if the outletbox does not meet electrical requirements noted(under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualifiedelectrician should be employed to correct anydeficiencies.

CAUTION: For personalsafety, remove house fuseor open circuit breakerbefore beginninginstallation to avoid severeor fatal shock injury.

CAUTION: For personal safety, the mounting surfacemust be capable of supporting the cabinet load, inaddition to the added weight of this 63–85 pound(28.5–38.5 kg) product, plus additional oven loads ofup to 50 pounds (22.7 kg) or a total weight of113–135 pounds (51.3–61.2 kg).

CAUTION: For personal safety, this product cannotbe installed in cabinet arrangements such as an island ora peninsula. It must be mounted to BOTH a top cabinetAND a wall.

NOTE: For easier installation and personal safety, it isrecommended that two people install this product.IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FORPERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BEPROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE ORFATAL SHOCK.

The power cord of thisappliance is equipped with athree-prong (grounding)plug which mates with astandard three-prong(grounding) wall receptacleto minimize the possibilityof electric shock hazardfrom this appliance.

You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checkedby a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle isproperly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle isencountered, it is very important to have it replacedwith a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle,installed by a qualified electrician.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,DEFORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGSFROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITHAN EXTENSION CORD.

locates nails.OR

B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across themounting surface to find a solid sound.This will indicate a stud location.

After locating the stud(s), find the center byprobing the wall with a small nail to find the edgesof the stud. Then place a mark halfway betweenthe edges. The center of any adjacent studs shouldbe 16 (40.6 cm) or 24 (61 cm) from this mark.Draw a line down the center of the studs.

THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TOAT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

DETERMINING WALL PLATE LOCATION UNDER YOUR CABINETC.

Your cabinets may have decorative trim thatinterferes with the microwave installation. Removethe decorative trim to install the microwave properlyand to make it level.

THE MICROWAVE MUST BE LEVEL.Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.

If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with noback or side frame, install the mounting plate downthe same distance as the front overhang depth. Thiswill keep the microwave level.

Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.

Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equaldistance below the cabinet bottom as the insidedepth of the front overhang.For this type of installation with front overhang only,align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, nottouching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

ALIGNING THE WALL PLATE

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the30 (76.2 cm) wide space.Use the mounting plate as the template for the rearwall. Place the mounting plate on the wall, makingsure that the tabs are touching the bottom of thecabinet or the level line drawn in Step C for cabinetswith front overhang. Line up the notch and centerlineon the bottom of the mounting plate to the centerlineon the wall.While holding the mounting plate with one hand,draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C and D(see illustration above/actual plate marked witharrows). Four holes must be used for mounting.

NOTE: If neither C nor D is in a stud, find a studsomewhere in area E and draw a fifth circle to line upwith the stud. It is important to use at least one woodscrew mounted firmly in a stud to support the weightof the microwave.Set the mounting plate aside.Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3⁄16

hole for wood screws. For holes that don’t line up witha stud, drill a 5⁄8 hole for toggle bolts.NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE ATTHIS TIME.

Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual testsand reflect requirements for good venting performance withany vent hood.

* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transitionadaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damperwill have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in orderto allow free movement of the damper.

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the totalduct length of 31⁄4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or

” (15.2 cm) diameter round duct

Outside ventilation requires a EXTERNAL EXHAUST

NOTE: It is important that venting be installed usingthe most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps preventblockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely andnothing is blocking the ducts.

Exhaust connection:The exhaust adaptor has been designed to mate witha standard 31⁄4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular duct.If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-roundtransition adaptor must be used. Do not use less thana 6” (15.2 cm) diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of31⁄4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or

6 ”(15.2 cm) diameter round duct should notexceed120 equivalent feet (36.5 m).

Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps,etc., present additional resistance to airflow and areequivalent to a section of straight duct which is longerthan their actual physical size. When calculating the totalduct length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitionsand adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections.The chart below shows you how to calculate totalequivalent ductwork length using the approximate feetof equivalent length of some typical ducts.

OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)

NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align exhaust with space between studs, or wall should be preparedat the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.

* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damperwill have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.
