iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

This product requires a three-prong groronled outlet.The installer must perflmu a ground continuit) checkon the power outlet box befl_re beginning theinstallation to insm'e that the outlet box is properlygrotmded. If not properly grotmded, or if the outletbox does not meet electrical requirements noted(rolder E1,ECTRICAI_ REQLIIREMENTS), a qualifiedelectrician should be employed to correct anydeficiencies.

CAUTION: For persona]safety, remove house fuseor open circuit breakerbefore beg_giusmllation 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 this 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 atKree-prong (grounding)plug which mates with astandard three-prong(grounding) wall receptacleto minimize the possibilityof electric shock hazard

from tiffs appliance.

Ensurepropergroundexistsbeforeuse

You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked

by a qualified electrician to mane 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 electriciaJa.

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

ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTSProduct rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps and1.58 kilowatts. This product must be connected to a

supply circuit of the proper voltage and ti'equency,Wire size must conflwm to the requirements of the

National Electrical Code or the pre\zdling localcode ti_r this kilowatt rating. The power supply

cord and plug shoMd be brought to a separate15- to 20- ampere branch circuit single groundedoutlet, The outlet box should be located in thecabinet above the microwave oven. The outlet box

and supply circuit should be installed by a qualifiedelectrician and con%tin to the National Electrical

Code or the pre\_dling local code.

Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests andreflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.

Total Length = 63 Ft.

NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align exhaust with space between studs, or wall should be prepared

at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.

NOTE: If wm need to install ducts, note that the total

duct length of 3¼" x ] O" rectangular or 6" diameter

round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.

Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT.

Read the following carefully.

NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using

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

This ensm'es clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent

blockages. Also, make sure dmnpers swing freely and

nothing is blocking the ducts.

Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with

a standard 3Vt" x 10" rectangular duct.

If a round duct is required, a rectangula_to-rotmd

transition adaptor inust be used. Do not use less than

a 6" diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:For satisfiwtorv air movement, the total duct length of

3¼" x ] 0" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should

not exceed 140 equivalent feet,

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

equiwdent to a section of straight duct which is longer

than their actual physical size. When calculating the total

duct length, add the equiwdent lengths of all transitions

and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections.The chart below shows w)u how to calculate total

equivalent ductwork length using the approximate feet

of equiwdent length of some typical ducts.

I- PLACEMENT OF THE MOUNTING PLATE

I'_ REMOVING THE MICROWAVEOVEN FROM THE CARTON/REMOVING THE MOUNTINGPLATE

_ Remove the installation instructions, filters, glass

tray and the small hardware bag. Do not remove

the Swroioam protecting the fl'ont of the oven.

[] Fold back all 4 carton flaps flflly against carton

sides. Then careflflly roll the oven and carton over

onto the top side. The oven should be resting in

the Stvrofi)am.

_Pull the carton up and off the oven.

[] Remove and properly discard plastic bags

[]Remove the 2 screws from the mounting )late, } •

This plate will be used as the rear wall template

and for mounting. You max discard these screws.

I-_ FINDING THE WALL STUDS

i i Wall i

(enter

_Find the studs, using one of the following

methods:

A. Stud finder - a magnetic device which

locates nails.

OR

B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the

mounting surthce to find a solid sound.This will indicate a stud location.

_ After the stud find the bylocating (s), centel"

probing the wall with a small nail to find the edgesof the stud. Then place a mark hal_\vay between

the edges. Tile center of any ac!jacent studs shouldbe 16" or 24" fl'om this mark.

_Draw a line down the center of tile studs.

THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO

AT LE&ST ONE WALL STUD.

Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.

If the cabinets have a fl'ont overhang only, with no

back or side fl'ame, install the mounting plate down

the same distance as the fl'ont overhang depth. This

will kee I) the microwave level.

_ Measm'e the inside depth ot the fl'ont overhang.

[] Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal

distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside

depth of the front overhang.

_For this type of instnllation with fl'ont overhang only,

align the motmting tabs with this horizontnl line, not

touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

[]

NOTE: Holes C and D are inside area E. If neither

C nor D is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E

and draw a fifth drcle to line up with the stud. It isimportant to use at least one wood screw motmtedfirmly ha a stud to support the weight of the microwave.

Set the mounting plate aside.

Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a :"A6"

hole for wood scre_vs. For holes that don't line up witha stud, drill a %" hole fin" toggle bolts.

NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THISTIME.
