Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires athree-prong grounded outlet.
The installer must i)erlmm aground continuity check
on the power outlet box belm'e beginning the
installation to insure that the outlet box is properly
grounded. If not properly grounded, or if the outlet
box does not meet electrical requirements noted
(under EI,ECTRICAI, REQUIREMENTS), a qualified
electrician should be employed to correct any
deficiencies.
CAUTION: For personal
safety, remove house fuse
or open circuit breaker
before beghnth_g
installation to avoid severe
or fatal shock injury.
CAUTION: 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 pomads
or a total weight of 113-135 pounds.
CAUTION: For personal safety, this product cmmot
be installed in cabinet arrm_gements such as an islm_d or
a peninsula. It must be mounted to BOTH a top cabinet
AND a wall.
NOTE: For easier installation mad personal safety, it is
recmmnended that two people install this product.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR
PFRSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE OR
FATAL SHOCK.
The power cord of this applim_ce is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with a
staaldaxd three-prong
(grounding) wall receptacle
to mh_hnize the possibility
of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Ensureproper
groundexists
beforeuse
You should have the wall receptacle m_d circuit checked
by a qualified electricima to make sure the receptacle is
properly grom_ded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encomatered, it is very hnportant to have it replaced
with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle,
installed by a qualified electricima.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,
DI_)'ORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS
FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH
AN EXTENSION CORD.
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps and
1.58 kilowatts. This product must be connected to a
suI_ply circuit of the proper voltage and fl'equency.
Wire size ulust conlorin to the requirements of the
National Electrical Code or the i_revailing local
code tier this kilowatt rating. The power sui_ply
cord and phtg should be brought to aseparate
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 SUl_ply circuit should be installed by a qualified
electrician and conlin'm to the National Electrical
Code or the prewfiling local code.

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 const_ ucted by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.

Installation Instructions
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total
duct length of 3¼" x ]O" rectangular or 6" (liameter
round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT.
Read the following careflflly.
NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using
the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.
This ensm'es 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 3Vt" x 10" rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangula>to-rotmd
transition adaptor nlust be used. Do not use less than
a 6" diameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfi_ctorv air movement, the total duct length of
3¼" x l 0" 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
equiwflent to a section of straight duct which is longer
than their actual physical size, When calculating the total
duct length, add the equiwflent lengths of all transitions
and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections.
The chart below shows you how to calculate total
equi\_flent ductwork length using the approximate feet
of equivalent length of some typical ducts.

_While holding the motmting plate with one hand,
draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C and D
(see illustration above/acmal plate marked with
arrows). Four holes must be used for mounting.
[]
NOTE: Holes C and D are inside area E. If neither
Cnor D is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E
and draw a filth circle to line up with tile stud. It is
important to use at least one wood screw mounted
firmly in a stud to support the weight of the microwave.
Set the mounting plate aside.
Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a :_A_,"
