IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.Tile installer lnust perform a ground cominuily checkoil the power oullet box before beginning theinstallation to insure that the outlet box is properlygrounded. If not properly grounded, or if tile oudetbox does not meet eleclrical requiremenls noled

(under ELECTRI(LAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualifiedelectrician should be eInployed m correct anydeficiencies.

CAUTION: For personalsafety, remove house fuseor open circuit breakerbefore beginninginstallation to avoid severe

or fatal shock injury.

CAUTION: For personal safety, the mounting surfacemust be capable of supporting the cabinet load, inaddition to the added weight of tlfis 63-85 poundproduct, plus additional oven loads of up to 50 poundsor a total weight of 113-135 pounds.

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. FOR

PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BEPROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE ORFATAL SHOCK.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with athree-prong (grounding)plug which mates with astandard fluee-prong(grounding) wall receptacleto nfinintize the possibilityof electric shock hazard

from this appliance.

Ensure properground existsbefore use

You should have the waU receptacle and circuit c_ec&ed

by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is

properly 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 dectridan.

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

Read the followiug carefully.

NOTE: It is imporlant lhat venting be inslalled using

the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.

This ensures clear veuling of exhaust aud helps preventblockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and

nothing is blocking the ducts.

Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has beeu designed m Illa/e with

a slandard 3_(' x 10" rectangular duct.

If a rouud duct is required, a rectangular-to-roundtransition adaptor must be used. Do not use less thana 6" diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:For satisfaclory air Inovement, the tolal duct lenglh of3W' x 10" rectangmlar or 6" diamewr round duct should

not exceed 140 equivalent feet.

Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps,etc., present additional resistance to airflow and are

PLACEMENT OF THE MOUNTING PLATE

[-_ REMOVING THE MICROWAVEOVEN FROM THE CARTON/REMOVING THE MOUNTINGPLATE

[] Remove the inslMlafion instructions, filters, glasstray and tile small hardware bag. Do not removethe S|yrofimm prolecting the front of tile oven.

[]Fold hack all 4 carton flaps fiflly against cartonsides. Then carefhlly roll tile oven and carlon overonto the lop side. Tile oven should be resting inthe Slyrofbam.

[Remove lhe 2 screws fi'oIll lhe mounting plale.

This plate will be used as dm rear wall templateand for mounting. You may discard these screws.

I-_ FINDING THE WALL STUDS

[] Find the studs, using one of the fbllowingmethods:

A. Stud finder - a Inagnetic dm4ce whichlocates nails.

OR

B. Use a hamIner to lap lightly across themoundng surface lo find a solid sound.This will indicate a stud location.

[After locating the stud(s), find the cenler byprobing dm wall widl a small nail to find the edgesof dm stud. Then place a mark half,ray bet_veenthe edges. The center of any adjacent studs shouldbe 16" or 24" fl'om this mark.

[]Draw a line down Ihe center of the studs.

THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TOAT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

[] While holding Ihe mounting plale with one hand,draw circles on lhe wall at holes A, B, C and D

(see illustralion above/actual plate, marked witharrows). Four holes must be used for mounting.

[]

NOTE: Holes C and D are inside area E. If neilher

(] nor D is in a slud, find a stud somewhere in area E

and draw a fifth circle m line up wilh the stud. It isiInporlant lo use at least one wood screw lnouIlledfirmly in a stud lo support lhe weight of the microwave.

Set the mounting plate aside.

Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a :_"

hole fbr wood screws. For holes that don't line up witha stud, drill a %" hole for toggle bolls.

NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THISTIME.
