OVER THE RANGE CONVECTION MICROWAVE OVEN
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Over the Range Microwave Oven/Hood
System. Two people are recommended to install this product.
If a new electrical outlet is required, its installation should be completed by a qualied electrician before
the microwave oven is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 2.
1. MOUNTING SPACE
This Microwave Oven/Hood requires a mounting space on a wall
as shown in Figure 1.
If the space between the wall cabinets is greater than 30-inches
(36-inches or 42-inches), a Filler Panel Kit may be used to ll the
gap between the Microwave Oven/Hood system and wall cabi-
nets. The Filler Panel Kit is sold as an optional accessory; each kit
contains two 3-inch panels. The Filler Panel Kit should be installed
before the Microwave Oven/Hood is installed.
For proper installation and servicing, a 2-inch space is necessary
between the top of the range backsplash and the bottom of the
Microwave Oven/Hood system.
2. WALL CONSTRUCTION
This Microwave Oven/Hood should be mounted against and sup-
ported by a at vertical wall. The wall must be at for proper in-
stallation. If the wall is not at, use spacers to ll in the gaps. Wall
construction should be a minimum of 2" x 4" wood studding and
3/8" or more thick dry wall or plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces
must be capable of supporting weight of 110 pounds—the oven
and contents—AND the weight of all items which would normally
be stored in the top cabinet above the unit.
The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2" x 4" wall stud.
To nd the location of the studs, one of the following methods
may be used:
A. Use a stud nder, a magnetic device which locates the nails in
the stud.
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to nd
a solid sound. This will indicate stud location.
The center of the stud can be located by probing the wall with a
small nail to nd the edges of the stud and then placing a mark
halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs will normally be 16" or 24" to either side of this mark.
Note: In the event that the unit will be unable to be supported by any stud, it will be necessary to use special care
in the placement of the toggle bolts and top cabinet screws. See Wall Template for details. The top cabinet should
be tested to ensure it is securely attached to the wall. Place extra weight up to 110 pounds inside the top cabinet to
test the support.
3. ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance

with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by provid-
ing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. DO NOT
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM
THE PLUG.
The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to a separate 120 Volt AC,
60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch circuit, single grounded
receptacle. The receptacle should be located inside the
cabinet directly above the Microwave Oven/Hood mount-
ing location.
Notes:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or
electrical instructions, consult a qualied electrician or
serviceperson.
2. Neither Fisher & Paykel nor the dealer can accept
any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury
resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical
connection procedures.
4. HOOD EXHAUST DUCT
When the hood is vented to the outside, a hood exhaust duct is required. All ductwork must be metal; absolute-
ly do not use plastic duct. Check that all connections are made securely. Please read the following carefully:
EXHAUST CONNECTION: The hood exhaust has been designed to connect to a standard 3-1/4" x 10" rectangu-
lar duct. If round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round adapter must be used.
REAR EXHAUST: If a rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used, care should be taken to align the exhaust with
the space between the studs, or wall should be prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space
between wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
MAXIMUM DUCT LENGTH: For satisfactory air
movement, the total duct length of 3-1/4" x 10"
rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should not
exceed 140 feet.
Elbows, adapters, wall, roof caps, etc. present
additional resistance to air ow and are equiva-
lent to a section of straight duct which is longer
than their actual physical size. When calculating
the total length, add the equivalent lengths of
all transitions and adapters plus the length of all
straight duct sections. Figure 4 shows the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ductwork parts.
Use the values in parentheses for calculating air ow resistance equivalent, which should total less than 140 feet.

10. OVEN INSTALLATION
THIS MICROWAVE OVEN CANNOT BE PROPERLY INSTALLED WITHOUT REFERRING TO THE MOUNTING
INSTRUCTIONS FOUND ON BOTH TEMPLATES.
READ AND FOLLOW MOUNTING INFORMATION ON BOTH TOP CABINET AND WALL TEMPLATES.
MOUNTING PLATE
1. Separate 4 Toggle Bolts 2, packed in the INSTALLATION
HARDWARE, from the Toggle Nuts.
2. Use Wood Screws 1to attach Mounting Plate to the stud or
studs. Use Toggle Bolts to attach Mounting Plate through the
holes at A, B, C and D; UNLESS THOSE HOLES ARE LOCATED
ON THE STUD. Insert one Toggle Bolt into A, B, C and D where
appropriate (these correspond to the holes of the Wall Tem-
plate) and put the Toggle Nuts onto the Toggle Bolts. Figure
18.
Refer to instructions in Wall Template.
3. Position the Mounting Plate with the Toggle Bolts attached
at the wall location and insert Toggle Nuts and Bolts through
