Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A qualified electrician must perform a ground continuity
check on the wail 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.
lh
AWARNING:
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.
AWARN ING risk of Electric shock.
Can cause injury or death: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED to avoid severe or fatal shock.
120 V Models
Ensure proper
_
ground exists
before use
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 wail receptacle, installed by a
qualified electrician.
AWARN ING risk of Electric shock.
Can cause injury or death: DO NOT, under any
circumstances, cut, deform or remove any of the prongs
from the power cord. Do not use with an extension cord.
Failure to comply may cause fire.
ACA UTION: ror 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: 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.
ACAUTION: To avoid the risk of personal
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
120 V Models
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps,
and 1.70 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 oven and
away from any potential microwave ducting.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.

Installation Instructions
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct
length of 344” 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 344" 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
3¥" 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.

REMOVING THE OVEN FROM
THE CARTON/REMOVING
THE MOUNTING PLATE
Remove the box containing the installation
instructions, filters, exhaust adaptor, damper
and the small hardware bag. Do not remove
the Styrofoam protecting the front of the oven.
Fold back ail 4 carton flaps fully against carton sides.
Then carefully roll the oven and carton over onto
the top side. The oven should be resting in the
Styrofoam.
Carton
ft t
Styrofoam
Pull the 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 ternplate and
for mounting the oven to the wall.
Set the oven upright. Remove and properly discard
plastic bags and Styrofoam.
| 6 | Open the oven door and remove the styrofoam
pack from inside the oven. Remove the tape
covering the turntable hub.
FINDING THE WALL STUDS
Wall
Studs
.
Find the studs, using one of the following methods:
A. Stud finder - a magnetic device which locates nails.
OR
B. Use a harnmer 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.

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 oven.
Set the mounting plate aside.
AWARN | N G: 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 “As” hole
for wood screws. For holes that don’t line up with a stud,
drill a 4" hole for toggle bolts.
NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.
