Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires a three-i)rong grounded outlet.
The installer u/list i)erform a grouud coutiuuitv check
on the power outlet box before beginning the
installation to insm'e that the outlet box is properly
grotmded. If not properly grotmded, or if the outlet
box does not meet electrical requirements noted
(under EI,ECTRICAI, REQUIREMENTS), a qualified
electrician should be employed to correct any
deficiencies.
CAUTION:
For personal safety, remove
house fuse or open circuit
breaker before beghuth_g
installation to avoid severe
or fatal shock h_jury.
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, tiffs product
cmmot be installed in cabinet axrmlgements such as m_
islm_d or a pmthlsuia. It must be momlted to BOTH
a top cabinet AND a wall.

IMPORTANT--PLFASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR
PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE OR
FATAL SHOCK.
Insureproper

beforeuse
The power cord of this
applimlce is equipped with
athree-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with
a stmldaacd three-prong
(grounding) wall receptacle
to mhthuize the possibility
of electric shock hazard
from tiffs applimlce.
You should have the wail receptacle and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
Where a staaldaaxi two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is very hnportaut to have it replaced
with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle,
installed by a qualified electriciml.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,
DI?_'ORM OR REMOVE ANY OF TFIE PRONGS
FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH
AN ILXTENSION CORD.
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 14 amps and
1.60 kilowatts. This product must be connected to a
supi)ly circuit of the proper \_ltage and fl'equency.
_'_]re size must contimn to the requirements of the
National Electrical Code or the pre\_filing local code
tot this kilowatt rating. The power supply cord and
plug should be brought to a separam 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 suI)ply circuit should be installed by
aqualified electrician and conflmn to the National
Electrical Code or the prevailing local code.

Installation Instructions
NOTE: If w)u need to install ducts, note that the total
duct length of 3¼" x ] 0" rectangular or 6" diameter
round duct should not exceed 120 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT.
Read the tollowing careflflly.
NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using
the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.
This enstu'es 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 3¼" x 10" rectangular duct.
If a rotmd duct is required, a rectangula>to-rotmd
transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than
a 6" diameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfi_ctorv air movement, the total duct length of
3¼" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should
not exceed 120 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 eqtfiwflent ductwork length using the
approximate tibet of eqtfiwflent length of some
typical ducts.

_Find the sttlds, rising one ot the following
metho(ls:
A. Stud finder - a magnetic dexice which
locates nails.
OR
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the
motmting stu'lhce to find a solid sotmd.
This will indicate a stud location.
_ After the find the bv
locating stud(s), center
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 a(!jacent
studs should be 16" or 94" fl'om this mark.
[]Draw a line down the center of the studs.

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 sm'e the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a fl'ont overhang only, with no
back or side fi'ame, install the mortaring plate down
the same distance as the fi'ont overhang depth. This
will keep the oven level.
[]Measure the inside depth of the fi'ont overhang.
[] Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal
distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside
depth of the fi'ont overhang.
[]For this _'pe of installation with fl'ont overhang only,
align the motmting tabs with this horizontal line, not
touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

[]Use the mounting plate as the template for the rear
wall. Place the mortaring plate on the wall, making
sm'e that the tnbs are touching the bottom of the
cabinet or the level line drawn in Step C for cabinets
with front overhm_g. Line up the notch mid center line
on the mounting plate to the center line on the wall.
[] _._lfile holding the motmting plate with one hand,
draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, (_ and D (see
illustration above/actual plate marked Mth 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 drcle to line up with the stud. It is
important to use at least one wood screw motmted
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 :_¢'
hole fin" wood screws. For holes that don't line up with
a stud, drill a :_" hole fin" toggle bolts.
NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE
AT THIS TIME.
