Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A qualified elecuician must perform a ground confinuit T
check on tim 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 EI,ECTRICAI, REQUIREMENTS), a qualified
elecuician should be employed to correct any
deficiencies.
/k WARNING:
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.
ik WARNING: RiskofElectricShock.
Can cause injury or death: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED to avoid severe or fatal shock.
Ensureproper
groundexists
beforeuse
The power cord of this
appliance is equipped with
athree-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with
a standard three-prong
(grounding) wall receptacle
to minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
Product ra6ng is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 13.5 mnps and
1.58 kilowatts. This product nltlst be connected to a
supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency.
Wire size must conform to the requirements of the
National Electrical (;ode or the prevailing local
code for this kilowatt ra6ng. 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. The outlet box
and supply circuit should be installed by a qualified
electrician and conform to the National Electrical
(;ode or the prevailing local code.
./k CAUTION: Forpersonal 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.
_k CAUTION: Forpersonal 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.
_k CAUTION: Toavoidtheriskofpersonal
injury (back injury or other injuries due to excessive
weight of the microwave oven) or property damage,
you will need two people to install this microwave oven.
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.
/k WARNING: 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.

NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align exhaust with space between studs, or wall should be prepared

Installation Instructions
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that tile total
duct length of 3¼" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter
round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT.
Read tile following carefllll>
NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using
tile 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:
Tile hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
a standard 3¼" x 10" rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a recmngula>to-round
uansition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than
a 6" diameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory' air movement, tile total duct length of
3¼" x 10" rectangular ov 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 tile total
duct length, add tile equivalent lengths of all transitions
and adaptors plus tile length of all straight duct sections.
Tile chart below shows you how to calculate total
equivalent ductwovk length using tile approximate feet
of equivalent length of some b'pical ducts.

• If the space between the cabinets is greater
than 30", a Filler Panel Kit may be used to fill
in the gap between the microwave oven and
the cabinets. Your Owner's Manual contains
the kit number for your model.
• This microwave oven is for installation over
ranges up to 36" wide.
• If you are going to vent your microwave oven
to the outside, see Hood Exhaust Section for
exhaust duct preparation.
• When installing the microwave oven beneath
smooth, flat cabinets, be careful to follow the
instructions on the top cabinet template for
power cord clearance.
• Models with top venting grilles: Do not allow
cabinetry or other objects to block the airflow
of the vent.

REMOVING THE MOUNTING
PLATE
_i_ Remove the installation instructions, filters, glass
tray and the small hardware bag. Do not remove
the SDrofoam protecting the flont of the oven.
[] Fold back all 4 carton flaps fldly against carton
sides. Then careflflly roll the oven and carton over
onto the top side. The oven should be resting in
the St);rofoam.
[]Pull the carton up and off the oven.
[] Remove and properly discard plastic bags.
Mounting
Plate
[]Remove the 2 screws flom the mounting plate.
This plate will be used as the rear wall template
and for mounting. You may discard these screws.
_] FINDING THE WALL STUDS
' ill Wall
Studs
[]Find the studs, using one of the following
methods:
A. Stud finder - a magnetic device which
locates nails.
OR
B. Use a hammer to mp 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 halfivay between
the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should
be 16" or 24" flom this mark.
]Draw a line down the center of the studs.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO
AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes
with the microwave installation. Remove the decorative
trim to install the microwave properly and to make it
level.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE LEVEL.
Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a flont overhang only, with no
back or side frame, 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.
_] Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal
distance below the c;d)inet bottom as the inside
depth of the flont overhang.
_]For this type of installation with flont overhang only,
align the mounting robs with this horizontal line, not
touching the ctd)inet bottom as described in Step D.

[] While holding tim mounting plate with one hand,
draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C and D
(see illusuation above/actual plate marked with
arrows). Four holes must be used for mounting.
NOTE: Holes C and D are inside area E. If neifller
C nor D is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E
and draw a fifth circle m line up with the stud. It is
important to use at least one wood screw mounted
firmly in a stud m support the weight of the microwave.
Set the mounting plate aside.
WARNING: ruskofelectricshock.Can
cause injury or death. Take care to not drill into electrical
wiring inside walls or cabinets.
[] Drill holes on die circles. If there is a stud, drill a :X_"
hole for wood screws. For holes that don't line up with
a stud, drill a %" hole for toggle bolts.
NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS
