This product requires a three-prong grounded

outlet.

The installer must perform a ground continuity

check on the power outlet box before

beginning the installation to ensure that the

outlet box is properly grounded. If not

properly grounded, or if the outlet box does

not meet electrical requirements noted

(under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a

qualified electrician should be employed to

correct any deficiencies.

CAUTION: For

personal safety,

remove house fuse or

open circuit breaker

before beginning

installation to avoid

severe or fatal shock

injury.

CAUTION: For personal safety, the mounting

surface must be capable of supporting the

cabinet load, in addition to the added weight

of this 63–85 pound

(28.5–38.5 kg) product, plus additional oven

loads of up to 50 pounds (22.7 kg) or a total

weight of

113–135 pounds (51.3–61.2 kg).

CAUTION: For personal safety, this product

cannot be installed in cabinet arrangements

such as an island or a peninsula. It must be

mounted to BOTH a top cabinet AND a wall.

NOTE: For easier installation and personal

safety, it is recommended that two people

install this product.

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE

MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID

SEVERE OR FATAL SHOCK.

The power cord of this

appliance is equipped

with a three-prong

(grounding) plug

which mates with a

standard three-prong

(grounding) wall

receptacle to minimize

the possibility of

electric shock hazard

from this appliance.

You should have the wall receptacle and

circuit checked by a qualified electrician

to make sure the receptacle is properly

grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle

is encountered, it is very important to have

it replaced with a properly grounded three-

prong wall receptacle, installed by a qualified

electrician.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,

DEFORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS

FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH

AN EXTENSION CORD.

ELECTRICAL

REQUIREMENTS

Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15

amps and 1.6 kilowatts. This product must be

connected to a seperate and dedicated supply

circuit of the proper voltage and frequency.

Wire size must conform to the requirements

of the National Electrical Code or the

prevailing local code for this kilowatt rating.

The power supply cord and plug should be

brought to a seperate and dedicated 15- to

20- ampere branch circuit single grounded

outlet. The outlet box should be located in the

cabinet above the microwave oven. The outler

box and supply circuit should be installed

by a qualifed electrician and conform to the

National Electrical Code or the prevailing local

code.

• When installing the microwave oven beneath smooth, flat cabinets, be careful to follow the

instructions on the top cabinet template for power cord clearance.

• As a guide to installation, see page 26 for Mounting Template Information.

• If the cabinet depth, including the cabinet doors, is more than 13.8”, then the unit must be spaced

they were removed.

B. FINDING THE WALL STUDS

Wall

Studs

Center

10.3

(26.2cm)

"

1Find the studs, using one of the following

methods:

A. Stud finder – a magnetic device which

locates nails.

B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the

mounting surface to find a solid sound.

This will indicate a stud location.

2 After locating the stud(s), find the center

by probing the wall with a small nail to find

the edges of the stud. Then place a mark

halfway between the edges. The center of

any adjacent studs should be 16 (40.6 cm)

or 24 (61 cm) from this mark.

3Draw a line down the center of the studs.

THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO

AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

Your cabinets may have decorative

trim that interferes with the microwave

installation. Remove the decorative trim

to install the microwave properly and to

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

no back or side frame, install the mounting plate

down the same distance as the front overhang

depth. This will keep the microwave level.

1 Measure the inside depth of the front

A1. ATTACH THE MOUNTING

PLATE TO THE WALL

Attach the plate to the wall using toggle

bolts. At least one wood screw must be used

to attach the plate to a wall stud.

NOTE: If the cabinet depth including the

cabinet doors is more than 13'""' then the

unit must be spaced out from wall using

adequate materials supporting150 Ibs to

allow proper top vent air exhaust/intake.

NOTE: Before tightening toggle bolts and

wood screw, make sure the bottom of the

mounting plate touch the bottom of the

cabinet when pushed flush against the wall

and that the plate is properly centered under

the cabinet.

CAUTION:Be careful to avoid pinching fingers

between the back of the mounting plate and

the wall.

4 Tighten all bolts. Pull the plate away from

the wall to help tighten the bolts.

USE TOP CABINET TEMPLATE

FOR PREPARATION OF TOP

CABINET

You need to drill holes for the top support

screws and a hole large enough for the power

cord to fit through.

• Read the instructions on the TOP CABINET

TEMPLATE.

• Tape it underneath the top cabinet.

NOTE:Adjust top template accordingly if

the microwave is being spaced out from the

wall due to cabinet depth (including cabinet

doors) of more th n 13''.

• Drill the holes, following the instructions on

the TOP CABINET TEMPLATE.

CAUTION:Wear safety goggles when drilling

holes in the cabinet bottom.

A3. CHECK BLOWER PLATE

Blower Plate

Cover Plate

• Place the microwave in its upright position,

with the top of the unit facing up.

• Check to see that the blower plate and

cover plate are correctly installed on the

unit.

NOTE: If your cabinet is metal, use the nylon

grommet around the power cord hole to

prevent cutting of the cord.

NOTE: We recommend using filler blocks if

the cabinet front hangs below the cabinet

bottom shelf.

IMPORTANT: If filler blocks are not used,

case damage may occur from overtightening

NOTE: When mounting the

microwave oven, thread

power cord through hole in

bottom of top cabinet. Keep

it tight throughout Steps

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the

total duct length of 34" x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm)

rectangular or 5" (12.7 cm) diameter/ 6" (15.2

cm) diameter round duct should not exceed

140 equivalent feet (42.7 m).Outside ventilation

requires an EXTERNAL 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

ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent

blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely

and nothing is blocking the ducts.

Exhaust connection:

The exhaust adaptor has been designed to

mate with a standard 34" x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm)

rectangular duct. If a round duct is required, a

rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be

used. "A5 "(12.7cm)/ "6"(15.2cm) diameter duct is

acceptable to use.

Maximum duct length:

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct

length of 34" x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or

5" (12.7 cm) diameter/6" (15.2 cm) diameter round

duct should not exceed 140 equivalerfeet (42.7 m).

Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps,

etc.,

present additional resistance to airflow and

are equivalent to a section of straight duct

which is longer than their actual physical size.

When calculating the total duct length, add the

equivalent lengths of all transitions and adaptors

plus the length of all straight duct sections.The

chart below shows you how to calculate total

equivalent ductwork length using the approximate

feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.

* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-

round transition adaptor is used,

the bottom corners of the damper

will have to be cut to fit, using the

tin snips, in order to allow free

movement of the damper.

Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on

actual tests and reflect requirements for good

venting performance with any vent hood.
