Read and save these in-
structions
Doing so will:
•make installation easier.
•help you in the future if you have
questions.
•help if you have an electrical in-
spection.
Call your dealer when you have
questions or need service. When
you call, you will need the micro-
wave model and serial numbers.
A
WARNING: To reduce
the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to per-
sons, always exercise ba-
sic safety precautions, in-
cluding the following:
Read all instructions before using
the appliance.
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 in-
sure that the outlet box is properly
grounded.
If not properly grounded, or if the
outlet box does not meet elec-
trical requirements noted (under
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a
qualified electrician should be em-
ployed to correct any deficiencies.
For personal safety, remove house
fuse or open circuit breaker before
beginning installation to avoid se-
vere or fatal shock injury.
For personal safety, the mounting
surface must be capable of sup-
porting 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).
For personal safety, this product
cannot be installed in cabinet ar-
rangements such as an island or a
peninsula. It must be mounted to
BOTH a top cabinet AND a wall.
For easier installation and personal
safety, it is recommended that two
people install this product.
For personal safety, this appliance
must be properly grounded to avoid
severe or fatal shock.

1 Important instructions
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 pos-
sibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
Do not, under any circumstances,
cut, deform or remove any of the
prongs from the power cord. Do not
use with an extension cord.
1.1.1 Electrical safety
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60
Hertz, 15 amps and 1500 watts.
This product must be connected to
a supply circuit of the proper volt-
age and frequency.
Wire size must conform to the re-
quirementsoftheNationalElectrical
Code or the prevailing local code for
this kilowatt rating. The power sup-
ply cord and plug should be brought
to a separate 15- to 20- ampere
branch circuit single grounded out-
let. The outlet box should be located
in the cabinet above the microwave
oven. The outlet box and supply cir-
cuit should be installed by a quali-
fied electrician and conform to the
National Electrical Code or the pre-
vailing local code.

C
For back exhaust, care should betak-
en to align exhaust with space be-
tween studs, or wall should be pre-
pared at the time it is constructed by
leaving enough space between the
wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
C
If you need to install ducts, note
that the total duct length of 31⁄4” x
10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or
6” (15.2 cm) diameter round duct
should not exceed 120 equivalent
feet (36.5 m).
C
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD
EXHAUST DUCK. Read the following
carefully. It is important that venting
be installed using the most direct
route and with as few elbows as
possible. This ensures clear vent-
ing of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, make sure dampers
swing freely and nothing is blocking
the ducts.
4.1.3 Exhaust connection
The exhaust adaptor has been designed to mate
with a standard 31⁄4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectan-
gular duct. If a round duct is required, a rectangu-
lar-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do
not use less than a 6” 6” (15.2 cm) diameter duct.

4.1.4 Maximum duct length
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct
length of 31⁄4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or
6” (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not ex-
ceed 120 equivalent feet (36.5 m).
4.1.5 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 cal-
culating the total duct length, add the equivalent
lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus the
length of all straight duct sections. The chart be-
low shows you how to calculate total equivalent
ductwork length using the approximate feet of
equivalent length of some typical ducts.

5.1.1 Removing the microwave
oven from the carton/ removing
the mounting plate
1. Remove the installation instructions, 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.

Mounting Plate
5. Remove the screws from the mounting plate.
This plate will be used as the rear wall template
and for mounting. Reinstall the screws into the
holes where they were removed.
5.1.2 Finding the wall studs
1. Find the studs, using one of the following
methods:
•Stud finder – a magnetic device which locates
nails.
•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.
3. Draw a line down the center of the studs.
AWARNING:
The microwave must
be connected to at least one wall
stud.

Plate position—beneath recessed bottom
cabinet with front overhang
Your cabinets may have decorative trim that inter-
feres 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 lev-
el.
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 subtitle 5.1.4.

A5. Mount the microwave oven
C
For easier installation and person-
al safety, we recommend that two
people install this microwave oven.
A
Do not grip or use handle during in-
stallation.
C
If your cabinet is metal, use the ny-
lon grommet around the power cord
hole to prevent cutting of the cord.
C
We recommend using filler blocks if
the cabinet front hangs below the
cabinet bottom shelf.
A
If filler blocks are not used, case
damage may occur from overtight-
ening screws.
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.
C
When mounting the microwave
oven, thread power cord through
hole in bottom of top cabinet. Keep
it tight throughout Steps 1–3. Do not
