IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.
The installer must perform a ground continuity check on
the power outlet box before 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 ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS), a qualified electrician should be
employed to correct any deficiencies.
CAUTION: For personal
safety, remove
house fuse or open
circuit breaker before
beginning installation
to avoid severe or fatal
shock injury.
IMPORTANT-PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR
PERSONAL SAFETY, 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.
ground exists
before use
You should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle
is encountered, it is very important to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong
wall receptacle, installed by a qualified electrician.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,
DEFORM 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,
* 88522, 88523, 88529: 14.0 amps and 1.65 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 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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: For personal safety, the mounting
surface must be capable of supporting the cabinet
load, in addition to the added weight of this 59
pound product, plus additional oven loads of up to
50 pounds or a total weight of 109 pounds.
CAUTION: 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.
NOTE: For easier installation and personal safety,
it is recommended that two people install this
product.

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.

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 314” x 10” rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
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.
transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less
than a 6” diameter duct.

bag. Do not remove the Styrofoam protecting the
front of the oven.
2. Fold back all 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.

1.
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.
2. 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.
3. Draw a line down the center of the studs.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT
LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

Plate position - beneath flat bottom cabinet
At least 30” ——.
Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that
interferes with the microwave installation. Remove
the decorative trim to install the microwave properly
and to make it level.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE LEVEL.
Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with no
back or side frame, install the mounting plate down
the same distance as the front overhang depth. This
will keep the microwave level.
1. Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
2. Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal
distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside
depth of the front overhang.
3. For this type of installation with front overhang
only, align the mounting tabs with this horizontal
line, not touching the cabinet bottom as
described in Step D.

Draw a Vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30” wide space.
2. Draw a Horizontal line on the wall along the bottom of “Rear Wall Template?
3. Drill 5/8” holes for toggle bolts on 3 locations (Hole A, Hole B, Hole C) but if the location of hole is same as
that of stud, drill a 3/16” hole for wood screw. In other words, toggle bolt can not be used at the location of
stud.
NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.
NOTE: Holes A, B and C are inside area E. If none of A, B and C is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E
and draw a forth 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. Set the mounting plate aside.
