INTRODUCTION
Proper installation is the installer’s responsibility. A qualified technician should install this microwave oven.
Make sure you have everything necessan/ for correct installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to
comply with the installation clearances specified on the serial/rating plate. The serial/rating plate is located
behind the microwave oven door on the front frame of the microwave oven.
Remove all contents from the upper cabinet.
Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Check location where microwave oven will be installed. The wall must be strong enough to support the
microwave oven weight of 150 Ibs., plus the weight of any items placed inside the microwave or the upper
cabinet. The location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, and strong heating vents
The microwave oven should be located for convenient use in the kitchen.
Electrical ground is required. See Electrical requirements.
Failure to use more than one person during
installation may result in personal injury
It is the customer’s responsibility to:
l contact a qualified electrical installer.
l assure that electrical installation is adequate
and in conformance with National Electrical
Code, ANSVNFPA 704atest edition, and
local codes and ordinances.

MOUNTING SPACE
This Microwave Oven/Hood system requires a
mounting space on a wall as shown below:
Excessive Microwave Energy Exposure
l Do Not attempt to operate this microwave oven with the door open.
l Do Not tamper with or defeat the safety interlocks.
l Do Not place objects between the microwave oven front face and the door.
l Do Not allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surface of microwave oven door.
l Do Not operate microwave oven if it is damaged.
l The microwave oven door must close properly to provide safe operation. Do Not use microwave
oven if door is bent; hinges and latches are broken or loose; or door seals, sealing surfaces or
glass is broken.
l The microwave oven should only be adjusted and repaired by a qualified repair person.
. Have a qualified repair person check for microwave leakage if a repair is made.
Failure to use microwave men except as instructed may result in exposure to excessive microwave energy.
For proper installation and servicing, a l-inch space is necessary between the top of the range backsplash
and the bottom of the Microwave Oven/Hood system.

WALL CONSTRUCTION
Personal Injury or Property Damage Hazard
l This microwave oven must be mounted against and supported by a flat, vertical wall.
l This microwave oven must be attached with two lag screws to a minimum of one, vertical 2” x 4”
wall stud.
l Do Not mount microwave oven to an Island or peninsula cabinet.
l The microwave oven top and rear supporting structures must be capable of supporting 127 Ibs.,
plus the weight of any items placed inside the microwave oven or upper cabinet.
Failure to mount the microwave oven as instructed could result in personal injury and/or property
damage.
To find the location of the studs, one of the following methods may be used:
A. Stud Finder -- a magnetic device which locates nails in the stud.
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate a stud location.
2” x 4” WOOD STUDS
The centerofthe stud can be located by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edgesofthestud and then placing
a mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs will normally be 16” or 24” to either side of this
mark.
NOTE: In the event that the unit will be unable to be supported by any stud, it will be necessary to use special care
in the placement of the toggle bolts and top cabinet screws. See Wall Template for details. The top cabinet should
be tested to ensure it is securely attached to the wall. Place extra weight up to 127 pounds inside the top cabinet
to test the support.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
E-&~&Hazard
l Checkwithaqualifiedelectricianifyouareindoubtastowhethertheapplianceisp~perlygrounded.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electrical shock.
l This appliance must be properly grounded.
Failure to do so may result in electrical shock or other personal injury,
l Do Not use an extension cord with this appliance. Such use may result in a fire, electrical shock
or other personal injury
l Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. This could result in electrical shock or other
personal injury
A 12@volt, 60-Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-ampere, fused electrical supply (located in the upper cabinet as close
as possible to the microwave oven) is required. (Timedelay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.) It
is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Recommended grounding method
Do Not, under any circumstances, remove the power supply cord grounding prong.
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply
cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into
a mating 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSVNFPA 7Watest edition, and local codes and ordinances. (See Figure 1.) If a mating wall receptacle IS
not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded,
3prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Electrical Shock Hazard
l Ike special care when drilling holes into the wall. Electrical wires may be concealed behind the wall
covering and contact with them could result in electrical shock
l Locate any electrical circuits that could be affecW by the installation of this product and disconnect
power circuit
Failure to do so could result in electrical shock

HOOD EXHAUST DUCT
When the hood is vented to the outside, a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT is required. All ductwork must be metal
(do not use plastic duct). Check that all connections are made securely. Please read the following carefully:
Fire Hazard
Mntirg system must terminate to the outside. Do Not terminate the ductwoh in an attic or other
enclosed space. Do Not use 4” laundrytyp wall caps.
To do any of the above may resutt in a fife.
EXHAUST CONNECTION: The hood exhaust has been designed to connect to a standard 3-l/4” x10”
rectangular duct.
If round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round adaptor must be used. do not use a duct that is
less than 6” in diameter.
REAR EXHAUST: If a rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used, care should be taken to align the
exhaust with the space between the studs, or wall should be prepared at the time it is constructed by
leaving enough space between wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
MAXIMUM DUCT LENGTH: For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3-1/4”xlO”
rectangular or 6” diameter round duct should not exceed 140 feet.
ELBOWS, ADAPTORS, WALL, ROOF CAPS, etc. present additional resistance to air flow and are equivalent
to a section of straight duct which is longer than their actual physical size. When calculating the total
length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections.
The diagram below shows the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ductwork parts. Use
the values in parentheses for calculating air flow resistance equivalent, which should total less than 140 feet.

VENTILATION SYSTEM
THIS MICROWAVE OVEN/HOOD SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR ADAPTATION TO THREE TYPES OF HOOD
VENTILATION SYSTEMS:
A. Vertical Exhaust -- outside ventilation
B. Horizontal Exhaust -- outside ventilation
C. Recirculating -- non-vented, ductless
Select the type required for your installation.
Recirculating (ductless) installation requires CHARCOAL FILTER.
Your Microwave Oven/Hood System is preset for VERTICAL Exhaust; follow the procedure below (A) to attach the
Exhaust Adaptor Assembly if your installation will use a vertical exhaust system. If you will need to use a
HORIZONTAL exhaust system, proceed to step B; or for a RECIRCULATING system, proceed to page 9 (step C).
VERTICAL EXHAUST: Outside Ventilation
