Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A qualified electrician must perform a ground continuity
check on the 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 ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTS),a qualified electrician
should be employed to correct any deficiencies.
WARNING:
Riskof Electric Shock.
Can cause injury or death:
Remove house fuse or
open circuit breaker before
beginning installation to avoid
severe or fatal shock injury.

groond exi s
beforeuse
The power cord of this
appliance isequipped 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.
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.
AWARN ING: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 usewith an extension cord.
Failure to comply may cause fire.

_IL_f_U/I_JI_I: 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.
ACAUTION: Forpersonalsafety,thisproduct
cannot be installed in cabinet arrangements such as an
island or a peninsula. It must be mounted to BOTHa top
cabinet AND a wall.
CAUTION: Toavoidtheriskofpersonal
injury (back injury or other injuries due to excessive
weight of the microwave) or property damage, you will
need two people to install this microwave.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Installation Instructions
NOTE:If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct
length of 3¼" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct
should not exceed 140 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 freely and
nothing is blocking the ducts.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
a standard 3½" x 10" rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than
a6" diameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of
3VJ'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.

NOTES:
• The space between the cabinets must be 30" wide
and free of obstructions.
• If the space between the cabinets is greater than
30", a Filler Panel Kit may be used to fill in the gap
between the oven and the cabinets. Your Owner's
Manual contains the kit number for your model.
• This oven is for installation over ranges up to
36" wide.
• If you are going to vent your 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 top cabinet template for power cord
clearance.
• Maximum cabinet depth above and beside the unit
is 13".
. Formodels with top venting holes: Do not allow
cabinetry or other objects to block the airflow of the
vent.
. The product should not be installed over any
cooktop or range with a combined BTUgreater
than 66,000 BTU.

Pullthe carton up and off the oven.
The mounting plate is attached to the back of the
oven. Remove the two screws holding it to the oven.
The plate will be used as the rear wall template and
for mounting the oven to the wall.
Setthe oven upright. Remove and properly discard
plastic bags and foam packing.
Open the oven door and remove the foam pack
from inside the oven. Remove the tape covering the
turntable hub.
FINDING THE WALL STUDS
Cente_
Wall
Studs
[_ Findthe 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.
IMPORTANT: The microwave must be connected to at
least one wall stud.

to instGIIthe oven properly and to make it level.
THE OVEN MUSTBE 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 asthe insidedepth
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.
