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 ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS), a qualified electrician should be
employed to correct any deficiencies.
Risk of Electric Shock.
Can cause injury
or death: Remove
house fuse or open
circuit breaker before
beginning installation
to avoid severe or fatal
shock injury.
Risk of Electric Shock.
Can cause injury or
death: THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY
GROUNDED to avoid
severe or fatal shock.
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 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.
Ensure
proper
ground
exists before
use
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
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.
For personal safety, this product
cannot be installed in cabinet
arrangements such as an island or a peninsula. It
must be mounted to BOTH a top cabinet AND a wall.
To avoid the risk of personal
injury (back injury or other injuries
due to excessive weight of the microwave oven) or
property damage, you will need two people to install
this microwave oven.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER”, “WARNING”, or “CAUTION”. These
words are defined as:
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 14.5 amps
and 1.7 kilowatts. This product must be connected to
a supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency.
Wire size must conform to the requirements of
the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local
code for this kilowatt rating. The power supply cord
and plug should be brought to a separate 15- to
20-ampere branch circuit single grounded outlet. The
outlet box should be located in the cabinet above
the microwave oven. The outlet box and supply
circuit should be installed by a qualified electrician
and conform to the National Electrical Code or the
prevailing local code.
CAUTION

HOOD EXHAUST
The following chart describes an example of one possible
ductwork installation.
NOTE: Read these next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to the outside. If you plan to recirculate the air back
into the room, proceed to page 11.
OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align exhaust with space between studs, or wall
should be prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to
accommodate exhaust.
* 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.

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»4Ǝ[ƎUHFWDQJXODUGXFW
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than
a 6Ǝdiameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of
31»4Ǝ[ƎUHFWDQJXODURUƎGLDPHWHUURXQGGXFW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.

Find the 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

keep the microwave level.
Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal

MARKING THE MOUNTING HOLES
OPTION 1: USE PAPER REAR WALL TEMPLATE
WARNING Risk of electric shock. Can cause
injury or death. Take care to not drill into electrical
wiring inside walls or cabinets.
This Rear Wall Template serves to locate the mounting
holes for the bottom mounting plate and to locate the
horizontal exhaust outlet.
1. Use a level to check that the template is positioned
accurately.
2. Locate and mark at least one stud on the left or right
side of the centerline.
NOTE: It is important to use at least one wood screw
mounted firmly in a stud to support the weight of the
microwave.
3. Mark the hole location on the wall using the template
at holes A and B. Mark at least one hole location
in area C that lines up with the location of a stud. A
minimum of three holes must be used for mounting.
4. Drill holes in the marked locations. Where there is a
stud, drill a 3/16” hole for wood screws. For holes that
do not line up with a stud, drill 5/8” holes for toggle
bolts.
NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE AT

INSTALL THIS OVEN.
IMPORTANT: Do not grip or use handle
during installation.
NOTE: If your cabinet is metal, use the nylon
grommet around the power cord hole to prevent
cutting of the cord.
NOTE: We recommend using filler blocks if the
cabinet front hangs below the cabinet bottom shelf.
IMPORTANT: If filler blocks are not used,
case damage may occur from over
tightening screws.
NOTE: When mounting
the oven, thread power
cord through hole in
bottom of top cabinet.
Keep it tight throughout
Steps 1–3. Do not pinch

12 months, depending on hood usage). See your
Owner’s Manual for the filter kit number.
To replace the charcoal filter:
Open the microwave door.
