Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires a three-prong grounded
outlet. The installer must perform a ground continuity
check on the power outlet box before beginning the
installation to insure that the outlet box is properly
grounded. If not properly grounded, or if the
outlet box does not meet electrical requirements
noted (under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS),
a qualified electrician should be employed to
correct any 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
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 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.

ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
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 oven. 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.
Insure proper
ground exists
before use

If you plan to recirculate the air back into the room, proceed to page 6.
OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align exhaust with space between studs, or wall should be prepared
at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
*IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper
will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.

* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition

order to allow free movement of the damper .
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total
duct length of 31⁄4″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 31⁄4″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
31⁄4″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 ducts.

Find the studs, using one of the following
methods:
A. Stud finder—a magnetic device which
locates nails. OR
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the
mounting surface to find a solid sound.
This will indicate a stud location.
After locating the stud(s), find the center by
probing the wall with a small nail to find the
edges of the stud. Then place a mark halfway
between the edges. The center of any adjacent
studs should be 16"or 24 ″from this mark.
Draw a line down the center of the studs.
THE OVEN MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST
ONE WALL STUD.

Open top of box and remove Styrofoam pack
containing installation instructions, filters, exhaust
adaptor, damper, and the small hardware bag.
Locate cut line at the bottom of the box and
carefully cut along the indicated dotted line.

Remove the styrofoam protecting the front
of the oven. Open the oven door and remove
any contents from inside.
Using a portion of the carton or other material
to protect the outer casing from damage, stand
the oven on its side so the control panel is nearest
to the ground.
The mounting plate is attached to the back
of the oven. Remove the two screws holding
the plate to the oven. The plate will serve
as the rear wall template and provide the support
to mount the oven to the wall.
Once the plate has been removed, set the oven
upright. Remove and properly discard the plastic
bags and Styrofoam.
Check to ensure that all adhesive tape has been
removed from exhaust adapters, grease filters, and
the power supply cord.

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes
with the oven installation. Remove the decorative trim
to install the oven properly and to make it level.
THE OVEN MUST BE LEVEL.
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 oven 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 line, not
touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

ALIGNING THE WALL PLATE
Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the
30″wide space.
Use the mounting plate as the template for the rear
wall. Place the mounting plate on the wall, making
sure that the tabs are touching the bottom of the
cabinet or the level line drawn in Step C for cabinets
with front overhang. Line up the notch and center line
on the mounting plate to the center line on the wall.
While holding the mounting plate with one hand,
draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C and D (see
illustration above/actual plate marked with arrows).
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 oven.
Set the mounting plate aside.
Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3⁄16″
hole for wood screws. For holes that don’t line up with
a stud, drill a 5⁄8″hole for toggle bolts.
NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.
