GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the
electrical current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord that has a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The power
cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
grounded. If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall
outlet, it is your responsibility to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and
frequency the appliance is designed for.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service agent
if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Do not connect your appliance to extension cords
or together with another appliance in the same wall
outlet. Do not splice the power cord. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third ground
prong from the power cord.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
This equipment generates and uses ISM frequencies
and if not installed and used properly in strict
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions,
it may cause interference to radio and television
reception. It has been type-tested and found to
comply with limits for ISM Equipment pursuant
to Part 18 of FCC Rules, which are designed
to provide reasonable protection against such
interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in particular installations. If this equipment
does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the interference can be
corrected by one or more of the following methods:
• Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or
television.
• Move the microwave oven away from the
receiver.
• Plug the microwave into a different outlet so that
microwave and receiver are on different branch
circuits.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any
radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized
modification of this appliance. It is the responsibility
of the user to correct such interference.
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY
• Do not attempt to operate the appliance with the
door open as this can result in harmful exposure
to microwave energy. Do not tamper with or
attempt to defeat the safety locks.
• Do not place any object between the front face
and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to
accumulate on the sealing surfaces.
• Do not operate the appliance if it is damaged.
The door must close properly and there must be
no damage to the hinges, latches, door, door
seals or sealing surfaces.

SAFETY - SUPERHEATED LIQUID
Liquids are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to the
surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling will not always be present when the liquid is removed from
the appliance. This could result in very hot liquids suddenly boiling over when a utensil or other item such
as a tea bag is inserted into the liquid.
To reduce the risk of injury:
• Do not overheat liquids. Do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per cup.
• Stir liquids before and halfway through heating.
• Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks as this can cause a build up of steam.
• Superheated liquid can begin to spontaneously boil when removed from the microwave. After heating,
allow the liquid to stand in the microwave for 30 seconds before removing.
• Use extreme care when inserting a utensil or other item into hot liquids.
• The contents of milk bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature
checked before serving in order to avoid burns.
• Do not defrost frozen beverages, especially carbonated beverages, in this appliance as they could
explode.
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any container that has been heated in
the appliance. Direct the opening away from hands and face to avoid burns.
SAFETY - ARCING
Arcing refers to sparks inside the microwave while it is in operation. Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil inside the appliance.
• Recycled paper towels being used inside the appliance, as these can contain small pieces of metal.
If arcing is present, stop operation and remove any metal or paper towels from the appliance.

• Remove all packing materials from the inside and outside of the appliance. Do not remove the
cardboard mica sheet covering the magnetron.
• Check the appliance for damage before using, such as a misaligned or bent door, damaged door
seals, broken or loose door hinges or latches, or dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any
damage to the appliance, do not use it, return it to its point of purchase or contact consumer care.
• The mounting surface must be capable of supporting the cabinet load in addition to the added weight
of this microwave, approximately 22.6 - 31.7 kg (50 - 70 pounds), plus additional oven loads of up to
22.6 kg (50 pounds) for a total weight of 45.2 - 54.3 kg (100 - 120 pounds).
• This appliance cannot be installed in cabinet arrangements such as an island or peninsula. It must be
mounted to both a top cabinet and a wall.
• Do not clean this appliance with or use near combustible materials.

USING THE INSTALLATION TEMPLATE
There are three different types of cabinetry that will
change how the rear wall template should be used
to determine where to install the mounting bracket.
1. Flat bottomed cabinet: The top of the template
should align with the bottom of the cabinet.
2. Framed recessed cabinet: The top of the
template should align with the back frame of the
cabinet bottom.
3. Framed recessed bottom cabinet with front
overhang: The top of the template should align
with the front overhang. It may be helpful to
measure the overhang, then measure the same
distance from the bottom of the cabinet and
mark that spot.
4. Aligning the center line of the rear wall
template: Measure the space where the
microwave will be installed and find the center
line. Mark this line with a pencil and straight
edge. Align the center line of the template with
the center line on the wall.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
TEMPLATE DAMAGED OR UNUSABLE
If the template arrives damaged or cannot be used, measure and mark the wall with these dimensions.
Remember that the microwave must be level.
The bottom edge of the mounting plate must be 17 1/8” (43.5 cm) from the bottom edge of the upper
cabinet.
The mounting plate holes must be 16 17/25” (42.4 cm) from the bottom edge of the upper cabinet and
must be in line with each other. Each hole must be 9 9/25” (23.8 cm) from the center line.
Mark the template location on the wall but do not install the template yet. The exhaust duct work must be
installed first.
NOTES
Any decorative trim on the cabinetry or wall should be removed before installing the microwave.
Use a level to ensure that the template is level before marking the wall. The microwave must be level to
ensure proper functioning.
At least three screws must be used to install the mounting plate. At least one of those screws must be in a
wall stud.
Tape the mounting template to the wall and then mark the three screw holes at the bottom of the template.
Remove the template and double check the marked holes with the actual mounting plate to ensure that they
match.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
HOOD EXHAUST
This microwave is designed for adaptation to three types of ventilation: outside top exhaust, outside back
exhaust and non-venting ductless recirculation. Use the following duct instructions if the appliance will be
vented to the outside.
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3 1/4” x 10” rectangular or 6” round duct should
not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
Elbows, transitions, wall caps and roof caps present additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent
to a section of straight duct which is longer than the actual physical size. When calculating the total duct
length add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adapters plus the length of all straight duct sections.
The chart below is an example of one possible installation configuration.
OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.
DUCT PIECES EQUIVALENT
LENGTH X NUMBER USED =EQUIVALENT LENGTH
Roof cap 24 ft X (1) = 24 ft
12 ft. straight
duct (6”
round) 12 ft X (1) = 12 ft
Rectangular to
round transi-
tion adapter 5 ft X (1) = 5 ft
TOTAL LENGTH = 41 ft
IMPORTANT: If a rectangular to round transition adapter is used, the bottom corners of the damper must
be cut to fit using tin snips to allow free movement of the damper.
IMPORTANT: It is important that venting be installed using the most direct route with as few elbows as
possible. This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent blockages. Make sure dampers swing
freely and nothing is blocking the ducts.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST
Use these instructions if the appliance will be vented to the outside through the top of the appliance.
Install the mounting plate
Use a 5/8” drill to make two holes that will enter the drywall. Use a 3/16” drill to make a hole that will
enter a wall stud. Use the mounting template to decide the location of the holes. At least one hole must
enter a wall stud.
Insert the machine screws into the mounting plate through the holes designed to go into drywall and attach
the wing nuts 3/4” onto each machine screw.
Place the mounting plate against the wall and insert the wing nuts into the holes in the wall. The wing nuts
will open on the other side of the wall to secure the screw.
Do not place a wing nut on the screw that will go into the wall stud. Insert a wood screw through the
mounting plate and into the wall stud. Tighten all screws.
