General information

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 insure 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.

)NSUREPROPER

GROUNDEXISTS

BEFOREUSE

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 product, plus additional oven loads of up to

50 pounds or a total weight of 113–135 pounds.

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.

)NSUREPROPER

GROUNDEXISTS

BEFOREUSE

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.

DE68-03587B-EN.indd 3 2008-12-09 �� 4:13:01

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, 13 amps and

1.5 kilowatts. This product must be connected to a

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 separate branch circuit single

grounded outlet of at least 15 A and max of 20 A. The

outlet box should be located in the cabinet above the

microwave oven. The outlet box and supply circuit

should be installed by a qualiﬁed electrician and

conform to the National Electrical Code or the

prevailing local code.

If you plan to recirculate the air back into the room, proceed to page 11.

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.

General information

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

length of 3¼” x 10” 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 ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent

blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and

nothing is blocking the ducts.

Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a

standard 3¼” x 10” rectangular duct.

If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round

transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than a

6” diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3¼”

x 10” 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 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.

A. REMOVING THE

MICROWAVE OVEN FROM

THE CARTON/REMOVING

THE MOUNTING PLATE

1. Remove the installation instructions, Exhaust

adaptor, ﬁlters, glass tray and the small hardware

bag. Do not remove the Styrofoam protecting the

front of the oven.

2. Fold back all 4 carton ﬂaps fully against carton

sides. Then carefully roll the oven and carton over

onto the top side. The oven should be resting in the

Styrofoam.

3. Pull the carton up and off the oven.

4. Remove and properly discard plastic bags.

5. Remove the 2 screws from the mounting plate. This

plate will be used as the rear wall template and for

mounting.

NOTE: You will have to reuse two screws in original

location of outcase after removing mounting plate.

B. FINDING THE WALL STUDS

7ALL3TUDS

#ENTER

1. 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

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” or 24” from this mark.

3. Draw 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 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 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 overhang.

2

. Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal

distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth

of the front overhang.

3

. For this type of installation with front overhang only,

align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not

touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

3. Drill 5/8" holes for toggle bolts on 3 locations (Hole A,

Hole B, Hole C) but if the location of hole is same as

that of stud, drill a 3/16" hole for wood screw. In other

words, toggle bolt can not be used to the location of

stud.

NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS

TIME.

NOTE: Holes A, B and C are inside area E. If none of A,

B and C is in a stud, ﬁnd a stud somewhere in area E and

draw a forth circle to line up with the stud. It is important

to use at least one wood screw mounted ﬁrmly in a

stud to support the weight of the microwave. Set the

mounting plate aside.

A4. MOUNT THE MICROWAVE OVEN

FOR EASIER INSTALLATION AND PERSONAL

SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND THAT TWO PEOPLE

INSTALL THIS MICROWAVE OVEN.

IMPORTANT: Do not grip or use handle during

installation.

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 over tightening screws.

NOTE: When mounting the microwave oven, thread

power cord through hole in bottom of top cabinet. Keep

it tight throughout Steps 1-3. Do not pinch cord or lift

oven by pulling cord.

1. Lift microwave,

tilt it forward, and

hook slots at back

bottom edge onto

four lower tabs of

mounting plate.

2. Rotate front of oven

up against cabinet

bottom

3. Insert a self-aligning screw through top center

cabinet hole. Temporarily secure the oven by turning

the screw at least two full turns after the threads

have engaged. (It will be completely tightened later.)

Be sure to keep power cord tight. Be careful not

to pinch the cord, especially when mounting

ﬂush to bottom of cabinet.
