ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical shock.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz and 1500 watts. This product must be
connected to a supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency.
The power supply cord and plug should be brought to a separate 15 to 20 ampere
branch circuit single grounded outlet.
The outlet box should be located in the cabinet above the microwave oven.
The outlet box and supply circuit should be installed by a qualied electrician and
conform to the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected microwave:
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. The microwave oven is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock. Consult a qualied electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have
a qualied electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the microwave
oven.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit breaker box
before installing microwave.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
STEP 1 - UNPACK MICROWAVE OVEN
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install microwave oven.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Using two or more people move the microwave close to the installation site.
2. Open the four aps on the carton top. From the top of the microwave, remove
the foam packing that contains the turntable and turntable ring.
NOTE: Do not remove the foam packing from the front of the oven.
3. Open the top of the plastic bag. Using two people, lift the microwave out of the
carton and gently set it front down on the foam packing. Remove the grease
lters and User Manual from the carton.

4. Locate and remove the two screws attaching the mounting plate to the back of
the oven, and then remove the mounting plate.

5. Replace the two screws into the holes from which they were removed.
STEP 2 - LOCATE WALL STUDS
IMPORTANT: The microwave must be installed to at least one wall stud,
preferably two wall studs. If there is no wall stud within the cabinet opening, do
not install the microwave oven.
1. Find the studs using one of the following methods:
Stud nder – a magnetic device that locates nails.
OR
Using a hammer, tap lightly across the mounting surface while listening for a
solid sound. A solid sound indicates a stud location.
2. After locating the stud(s), nd the center by probing the wall with a small nail to
nd 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.
3. Mark the center of the adjacent stud, and then draw a vertical plumb line down
the center of each stud.
STEP 3 - ALIGN REAR WALL TEMPLATE AND MARK
WALL
Overhead cabinet styles vary. Follow the instructions that apply to the cabinet style
in your home.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect power to electrical outlet.
STYLE 1 - FLAT-BOTTOM CABINET
IMPORTANT: The microwave must be level. Use a carpenter’s level to make
sure the cabinet bottom is level.
1. Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 24" (61 cm) wide opening.
2. Place the Mounting Plate/Rear Wall Template onto the wall so that the
centerline of the template is aligned with the center line, and the top of the
template is touching the bottom of the cabinet. Tape the template in this
position.

STYLE 3 - RECESSED CABINET WITH FRONT OVERHANG OR
DECORATIVE TRIM
IMPORTANT:
•The microwave must be level. Use a carpenter’s level to make sure the
cabinet bottom is level.
•If a decorative cabinet trim is interfering with the installation and leveling of
the microwave oven, remove the decorative trim.
•If the cabinets have a front overhang, but no back or side overhang, to keep
the microwave level, place the mounting plate so that the distance from the
top of the mounting plate to the cabinet bottom is equal to the distance
from the bottom of the front overhang to the bottom of the cabinet.

1. Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
2. Draw a horizontal line on the back wall that is the same distance below the
cabinet bottom as the depth of the front overhang.

STEP 4 - DRILL HOLES FOR MOUNTING MICROWAVE
OVEN
IMPORTANT: At LEAST one wood screw mounted rmly in a stud must be
used to support the weight of the microwave.
1. Draw a horizontal line on the wall marking the bottom of the Rear Wall
Template.
2. Locate holes A and B inside the Mounting Plate Area indicated on the rear wall
template.
3. Place the mounting plate on top of the rear wall template centered in the
Mounting Plate Area so that the holes on the mounting plate align with the
holes on the template.
4. Mark the wall through holes A and B.
IMPORTANT: If neither Hole A nor Hole B aligns with a stud, locate a stud
within the mounting plate area and mark a third hole that aligns with the
stud.
5. Remove the mounting plate and set it aside. Drill holes in the marked locations.
NOTE: A wood screw must be used when installing into a wood stud.
•Drill a ⁵⁄₈" hole to use a toggle bolt
•Drill a ³⁄₁₆" hole to use a wood screw.
