This product requires a th ree-prong groun ded outlet.
The in staller must perform a ground continuity check
on th e power outlet box before beginn in g the
installation to en sure that the outlet box is properly
grounded. If not properly grounded, or if the outlet
box does not meet electrical requiremen ts n oted
(under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualified
electrician should be employed to correct an y
deficiencies.
CAUTION: For personal
safety
, 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 supporting 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).
CAUTION: For personal safety, this product cannot
be installed in cabinet arrangements such as an island or
a peninsula. 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 product.
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 minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard
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 two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is very important to have it replaced
with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle,
installed by a qualified electrician.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,
DEFORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS
FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH
AN EXTENSION CORD.

Ensure proper
ground exists

Installation Instructions
Find the studs, using one of the following
meth ods:
A. Stud finder – a magnetic device wh ich
locates nails.
B. Use a h ammer to tap ligh tly across the
mountin g sur face to find a solid sound.
This will indicate a stud location.
After locating th e stud(s), find the center by
probing the wall with a small nail to fin d the edges
of th e stud. Then place a mark halfway between
the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should
be 16w( 40.6 cm) or 24w(61 cm) from th is mark.
Draw a lin e down the cen ter of th e studs.
THE MICRO WAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO
AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
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.
Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal
distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside
depth of the front overhang.
For this type of installation with front overhang
only, align the mounting tabs with this horizontal
