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 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualified electrician
should be employed to correct any deficiencies.

* 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 .
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 duct pieces.

Installation Instructions
Find the studs, using one of the following methods:
A. Stud finder.
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.

Open the box and fold back all four carton flaps fully
against the carton sides. Remove the following items
from the protective foam: installation instructions,
filters, exhaust adaptor, damper, and the small
hardware bag. Do not remove the foam protecting
the front of the microwave oven.
Then carefully roll the microwave oven and carton
over onto the top side. The microwave oven should
be resting in the foam.

C
Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes
with the microwave oven installation. You may need to
remove the decorative trim to install the microwave oven
properly and to make it level.
THE MICROWAVE OVEN MUST BE LEVEL.
Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a front overhang, install the
mounting plate down the same distance as the front
overhang depth. This will keep the microwave 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,
align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not
touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

ALIGNING THE MOUNTING 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

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 microwave oven.
Setthemountingplateaside.
WARNING:Riskofelectricshock.Cancause
injuryordeath.Takecaretonotdrillintoelectricalwiring
inside walls or cabinets.
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.
