mMPORTANT SAFETY mNSTRUCTmONS
This produ( t requires a three-pro_g grounded
omlet, The inaalier must perform a groined (::omimfi b-
check on the power outlet box before beghming the
hbstallafion to insme d_at d_e omlet box is properly
grom_ded. If 5-5otproperly grom_ded, or if d_e omlet
box does [5ot meet electrical requirements noted
(mbder ELECTRK;AL REQUIREMENTS), a
qmllified electrician should be employed to
correct assydefibieb-wies.
CAUTION: For personal
safety, remove house fuse
or open circuit breaker
before begh'lrfing irlstallafion
to avoid severe or fatal
shock kijury.
CAUTION: For personal safety, the mounting surface
must be capable of supporting the cabinet load, irl
addition to the added weight of this 53-85 potmd
product, plus additional oven loads of up to 50
pounds or a total weight of 113-135 pounds.
CAUTION: For personal safety, this product cannot
be installed ir_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 h_stall 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
threeoprong (g_'oundlng)
plug which mates with a
staridard three-prong
(g_ounding) wall receptacle
to minimize the posslbifity
of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Insure proper
ground exists
before use
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
encom_tered, it is very important to have it replaced
with a properly g_ounded three-prong wall receptacle,
installed by a qualified electrician.
DO NOT, UNDER AN_ CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,
DEFORM, OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS
FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH
AN EXTENSION CORD.

Installation Instructions
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total
duct length of 3VYx 10" rectangular or 6" diameter
round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST
DU(T. Read the folloxdng careflflly.
NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using
the most direct route and with as ti_welbows 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 3V/' 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 satisth{to D air movement, the total duct length of
3_/_" 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
equiwdent 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 duowork length using the
approximate tibet of equivalent length of some typical
ducts.

Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a flont overhang only, with no
back or side flame, install the mounting plate down
the same distance as the flont overhang depth. This
will keep the microwave level.
[] Measure the inside depth of the flont overhang.
[] Drmva horizontal line on the back wall an equal
distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside
depth of the fiont overhang.
[] For this type of installation with fiont overhang only,

[] While holding the mounting plate with one hand,
draw drcles on the wall at holes A, B, ( and D (see
illustration above/aculal plate marked with rerows).
Four holes must be used for mounting.

NOTE: Holes C and D are inside area E. If neither
C nor D is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E
and draw a fifth circle to line up with the stud. It is
important to use at least one wood screw mounted
firmly in a stud to support the weight of the tnicrowave.
Set the mounting plate aside.
Drill holes on the drcles. If there is a stud, drill a _)&_"
hole tot wood soews. For holes that don't line up with a
stud, drill a %" hole lot toggle bolts.
NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS
