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.

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

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 oven must be connected to
at least one wall stud.
