Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.
The installer must perform a ground continuitg check
on the power outlet box before beginning the
installation to insure that the outlet box is properlg
grounded. If not properlg grounded, or if the outlet
box does not meet electrical requirements noted
(under ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTS),a qualified
electrician should be emploged to correct ang deficiencies.
I}}/I -&CAUTION:
i For personal safetg, remove
house fuse or open circuit
breaker before beginning
installation to avoid severe
or fatal shock injurg.
-& CAUTION: For personal safetg, 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 upto 50 pounds
or a total weight of 113-135 pounds.
-A CAUTION: Forpersonalsafetg,thisproduct

or a peninsula. It must be mounted to BOTHa top cabinet
AND a wall.
NOTE: For easier installation and personal safetg,
it is recommended that two people install this product.
IMPORTANT--PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY,THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE PROPERLYGROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE
OR FATALSHOCK.

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 possibilitg
ofelectric shockhazard
from this appliance.
You shouldhave the wall receptacle and circuit checked
bg a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properlg grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it isverg important to have it replaced
with a properlg grounded three-prong wall receptacle,
installed bg a qualified electrician.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT, DEFORM OR
REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS FROM THE POWER CORD.
DO NOT USEWITH AN EXTENSION CORD.

Installation Instructions
NOTE:If gou need to install ducts, note that the total duct
length of 5W' x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct
should not exceed 120 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOODEXHAUSTDUCT.
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 freelg
and nothing is blocking the ducts.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
a standard 5V/' x 10" rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition Adapter must be used. Do not use less
than a 6" diameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length
of 3V/' 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 phgsical size.When calculating the total duct
length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and
adapters plus the length of all straight duct sections.
The chart below shows gou how to calculate total
equivalent ductwork length using the approximate
feet of equivalent length of some tgpical ducts.

than ]0", a Filler Panel Kit mag be used to fill
in the gap between the oven and the cabinets.
Your Owner's Manual contains the kit number
for gour model.
• This oven isfor installation over ranges up to
36" wide.
• If gou are going to vent gour oven to the outside,
see Hood Exhaust Section for exhaust duct
preparation.
• When installing the oven beneath smooth, flat
cabinets, be careful to follow the instructions
on the upper cabinet template for power cord
clearance.
• Maximum cabinet depth above and beside
the unit is !]".
• For models with top venting holes: Do not allow
cabinetrg or other objects to block the airflow

Installation Instructions
r-_ PREPARE THE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
-4,WARNING: Avoidelectricalshock!
This appliance must be grounded!
[] Locate the grounded electric outlet for this oven
in the cabinet above the oven, as shown at right.
NOTE:The outlet should be on a circuit dedicated
to the microwave oven (120V,60 Hz.,AConly) with
a !5 or 20A fused electrical supply.
IMPORTANT:If you do not have the proper wall
outlet, you MUSThave one installed by a qualified
electrician.
-4,WARNING: Improper grounding could
result in electric shock or other personal injury.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE
THE POWER SUPPLYCORD GROUNDING PRONG!
I_ You will cut the power-supply-cord hole (shown
below) later when you prepare the wall and upper
cabinet in Step 4.
NOTE:Do not use an extension cord. Keepthe power
cord dry and do not pinch or crush it.

PREPARE THE VENTING SYSTEM
NOTE:The ductwork you need for outside ventilation
isnot included with your oven. The standard ductwork
fittings and length are shown on pages 4 and 5.
-&WARNING: This oven must be properly
vented.
You may vent your oven in one of three ways. Do NOT
vent into a wall cavity, an attic or an unused area.
Roof Venting--If your oven is located on an outside
wall near the roof, as shown below (3 1/4" x 10" duct

Ove:
NOTE:If you choose the rear exhaust method
(roof- or wall-venting), be sure there is enough
clearance within the wall for the exhaust duct.
REMEMBERAS YOU INSTALLTHE VENTING: Keep
the length of the ductwork and the number of elbows
to a minimum to ventilate your oven efficiently. See
examples on page 5. Keep the size of the ductwork
the same. Do not install two elbows together. Use duct
tape to seal all joints in the duct system. Use caulking
to seal the exterior wall or roof opening around
the cap.

Installation Instructions
[_ PREPARE THE VENTING
AWARNING:
• To avoid the risk of property damage, unplug the
microwave oven or disconnect power at the source
by removing the fuse or throwing the circuit breaker.
• To avoid the risk of personal injury, wear protective
gloves when handling the mounting plate.
• DO NOTPULLORSTRETCHTHEBLOWERWIRING!
Pulling and stretching the blower wiring could result
in electrical shock.
NOTE:Your microwave oven is shipped with the blower
assembled for room venting. If you want wall-vented
or roof-vented installation, you must change the blower,
as detailed below.
F_ BEFORE YOU START
[] Remove any shipping materials and parts from
inside the microwave oven.
[] Cover the counter top or cooktop with a thick,
protective covering to protect it from damage
and dirt. Athick,protective
covering
NOTE:If you have a free-standing range, disconnect
it, move it onto a piece of cardboard or hardboard
and pull it away from the wall. This allows you to
get closer to the upper cabinet and back wall for
easier measuring and drilling.
r_ REMOVE THE MOUNTING PLATE
