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.

Insure 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.

Insure proper

ground exists

before use

Insure 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.

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.

NOTE: Read these next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to the outside. If you plan to

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

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

equivalent length in feet of some typical ducts.

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.

NOTE: You will have to reuse two screws in original

loction of outcase after removing mounting plate.

B. FINDING THE WALL STUDS

Wall Studs

Center

Wall Studs

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.

Plate position – beneath recessed bottom cabinet with

front overhang.

30˝ to Cooktop

Draw a line on the

back wall equal to

the depth of the front

overhang.

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.

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.

centered under the cabinet.

CAUTION: Be careful to avoid pinching your 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.

A2. USE TOP CABINET TEMPLATE

FOR PREPARATION OF TOP

CABINET

You need to drill holes for the top support screws, a

hole large enough for the power cord to ﬁt through,

and a cutout large enough for the exhaust adaptor.

• Read the instructions on the TOP CABINET

TEMPLATE.

• Tape it underneath the top cabinet.

• Drill the holes, following the instructions on the

TOP CABINET TEMPLATE.

CAUTION: Wear safety goggles when drilling holes

in the cabinet bottom.

IMPORTANT: Do not grip or use the 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 the top

center cabinet hole. Temporarily secure the oven

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.
