Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
A qualified electrician must perform a ground continuity
check on the wall receptacle before beginning the
installation to ensure that the outlet box is properly
grounded, If not properly grounded, or if the wall
receptacle does not meet electrical requirements noted
(under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualified electrician
should be employed to correct any deficiencies.
AWARNING:
Risk of Electric Shock.
Can cause injury or death:
Remove house fuse or
open circuit breaker before
beginning installation to avoid
severe or fatal shock injury.
_VV/_K|_I| |_1_: Risk of Electric Shock.
Can cause injury or death: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED to avoid severe or fatal shock.
120 V Models
before use,
The power cord of this
appliance isequipped 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.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it must be replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall receptacle, installed by a
qualified electrician.
AWARN ING:RiskofElectricShock.
Can cause injury or death: DO NOT, under any
circumstances, cut, deform or remove any of the prongs
from the power cord, Do not use with an extension cord,
Failure to comply may cause fire,
Ar, Ai iTir i
_U||U|_: 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 product, plus additional microwave oven
loads of up to 50 pounds or a total weight of 113-135
pounds.
ACAUTION: 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 back wall.
|_i'_U||U|\l: To avoid the risk of personal
injury (back injury or other injuries due to excessive
weight of the microwave) or property damage, you will
need two people to install this microwave.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
120 V Models
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps, and 1.70
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 grounded
outlet. The outlet box should be located in the cabinet
above the microwave oven and away from any potential
microwave ducting. The outlet box and supply circuit
should be installed by a qualified electrician and conform
to the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code.

Installation Instructions
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct
length of 3_¼'' x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct
should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD 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 hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
a standard 3X" x 10" rectangular duct,
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used, Do not use less than
a 6" diameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of
3X'x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should
not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
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 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
duct pieces,
