IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.
The installer must perform u g.o,r.rA .ontinuity check
on the power outlet box before beginning the
installation to insure that the outlet box ii properly
grounded. If not properly grounded, or if ine buttlt
box does not meet electrical requirements noted
(under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualified
electrician should be employed to correcr any
deficiencies. CAUTION: For personal
safeff, 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 supportingthe cabinet lold, in
addition to the adrled weight of *ris 63-95 pound
(28.5-38.5 kg) product, plus additional oven loads of
yp to !0 pounds (22.T kd or a totat weight of
113-135 pounds (51.3-01.2 kg).
CAUTION: For personal safety, this product cannot
be installed in cabinet arrangements such as an island or
ap-eninsula. 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 produit.
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 minim2e the possibility
of electric shockhazard "
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 twoprong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is very important to have it replaced
yth.q properly qolnled threeprong wall reieptacle,
installed by a qualified electrician.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUf,
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
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
15- to 20- ampere branch circuit single giounded
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 qualified

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.
@ Rt"r 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 halfiray between
the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should
be 16" (40.6 cm) or 24' (61cm) from this mark.
@ O..* a line down the center of the studs.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO
AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXTERNAL EXHAUST DUCTING
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of
3Vs" x 10" (8.2 x25.4 cm) rectangular or 5" (10.5 cm)
diameter,/ 6" (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not
exceedl20 equivalent feet (36.5 m).
Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps,
gtc., 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.
NOTE: If vou need to install ducts, note that the total
duct length of 3t/+" x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangulal 9r
5" (10.5 cm)diameter/ 6" (15.2cm) diameterroundduct
should not exceed L20 equivalent feet (36.5 m).
Outside ventilation requires a 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 3Vl' x 10" (8.2 x25.4 cm) rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used.
A 5"(l0.5cm)/ 6"(15.2cm) diameter duct is acceptable to use
