REQUIREMENTSFOR INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires a three-prong grounded receptacle.The installer must perform aground continuity check
on thepower outlet boxbefore beginning theinstallation to insurethat the outletbox is properly grounded. If
not properly grounded,or if the outlet boxdoes not meet the electrical requirements note, (underELECTRi-
CAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualifiedelectrician 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.
CAUTION: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THE MOUNTING SURFACE MUST BE CAPABLE OF
SUPPORTING THE CABINET LOAD, IN ADDITION TO THE ADDED WEIGHT OF THIS 65
POUND PRODUCT, PLUS ADDITIONAL OVEN LOADS OF UP TO 50 POUNDS OR A TOTAL
WEIGHT OF 115 POUNDS.
CAUTION: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY THIS PRODUCT CANNOT BE INSTALLED TO CABINET
ARRANGEMENTS SUCH ASAN ISLAND OR A PENINSULA, IT MUST BE MOUNTED TO BOTH A
TOP CABINET AND A WALL.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Productrating is 120 volts, AC,Hertz, 12.0amps, and 1.35 kilowatts. This productmustbe connected to a
supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency. Wire size must conform to the requirements of the

MOUNTING SPACE
Your Over-the-Range microwaveoven requires mounting space on a wall as shown. See Figure1.
1. A minimumof 30"between wall hung side cabinets is required for installation. Make sure the bottom edge
of thetop cabinet is at least66" from thefloor and 30"fromthe cooking surface.
2. For easier access to the hood lamp, the bottom of themicrowaveoven should beat least 2" abovetherange
backsplash.
3. If you are going to vent your microwaveoven to the outside, see Step 4 for exhaust duct preparation.
4.If thespace between the wall hung cabinets is greater than 30:, a Filler Panel Kit may be used to fill the
gap between theOver-the-Range microwaveoven and the wall hung cabinets. YourUse and CareBook con-
tains the kit number for your model.

HOODEXHAUST DUCT
Outside ventilation requires HOOD EXHAUST DUCT. Readthe following carefully.
EXHAUST CONNECTION: The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 3 1/4"x 10" rect-
angular duct. If round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do not use
less than 6" diameter duct.
REAR EXHAUST: If rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used, 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
wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
MAXIMUMDUCT LENGTH: For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3 1/4"x 10" rectan-
gular or 6" diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
ELBOWS, TRANSITIONS, WALL ANDROOF 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 lengths of all straight duct
sections. The diagram below shows the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts. See Fig-
ure 2.

PREPARATION OF TOPCABINET AND WALL
Your Over-the-Range microwave ovenshould bemounted against and supported bya flat, vertical wall.Wall
constructionshould beaminimumofT' x 4" wallstuddingand 3/8" ormore, thick drywall or plaster/lath.
The oven mustbeattached to a minimum of one 2*"x 4" wall stud. See Figure15.
1. To find studs, use oneof the followingmethods:
A. Stud finder-a magneticdevice which locates nails.
B. Use a hammer to taplightly across the mountingsurfaceto find a solid sound. Thiswill indicate
a studinstallation.
After locating the stud(s), the centercan befound by: Probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of
the stud and then placinga mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should be
16" or 24" from thismark. 16"OR24" J 2"X 4"

THE UNIT MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD
2. Userear mounting plateastemplate for rear wall. Draw a vertical lineon wallat centerof30" wide
space. Place the bracket assembly on the wall, fitting uppertabs to the bottom of cabinet. Alignthe notch and
center line of the bracket assembly. See Figure16.
3. While holding the rearmountingplate with one hand, draw circles on the wall at hole A and B, markedon
the rear mounting plate.(Holes A and Bare shown by the arrows stamped into the rear mounting plate
and musthe used for mounting).These holes are to be used for toggle bolts.Draw athird circle at hole C,
marked on the rear mounting platetoalign with the stud.
NOTE: If stud does notalign with holeC, select an alternate hole at the top rowsorthe bottom rows.Align
withthe stud.If hole A or Baligns with a stud,use a wood screw instead oftoggle bolt.
(For rearexhausting, draw additional small circles atfour holesmarked * onrearmounting plate).
4. Drill holes on circles.Diameterof holes should be 5/8" for toggle bolts on drywallonlyand 3/16" for
wood screws on studs.
5. For rear exhaust: Draw lines to connect foursmall circles (drawn at * marked holes) and cutwall along the
line to make rectangular opening forrear exhaustductconnection. See Figure 16.- MIN. 66" FROM --

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
1. Make sure unit has been installed according toinstructions.
2. Remove all packing material from the oven.
3. Replace house fuse or turn breaker back on.
4. Plug power cord into receptacle.
5. Read operating instructions.
6. KEEP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LOCAL INSPECTOR'S USE.
TEMPLATE
NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE TEMPLATE. THE TEM-
PLATE IS USED TO LOCATE THE POWER CORD CLEARANCE HOLE, CABINET MOUNTING
HOLES AND THE VERTICAL EXHAUST CUTOUT.
1. Determine if your cabinet has a recessed area or has a smooth, flat bottom. SeeFigure 3. Ifsmooth, tape
template onto the bottom surface(Figure1). If it is recessed,cut the edges of the templateto fit in the
recessed bottom of wall cabinet. Followdirections belowfor cutting.
RECOMMENDED CUTTING PROCEDURE: Measure thickness of A, B, and C, cut the edgeof the tem-
plate to allowfor thickness, guideline is marked in 1/4"increments for your convenience.
NOTE: On somecabinets a small bracket orglue block is used between the overhangand the undersideof the
cabinet bottom. Cut the templateto fit around the bracket or glue block so that template will lieflat against
the cabinet. Tape theTop CabinetTemplateto the underside of the top cabinet. SeeFigure 1.
2. Drill 1/2"diameter holes at D, E and F.
3. If your cabinet has a smooth, flat bottom,cut out the 1 3/4" diameterholeand the 4" x 3/4"slot at G so
that thepower cord will not bind when sliding the oven onto the mounting plate. If your cabinethas a recessed
bottom,cut out only the ! 3/4"diameter hole at G for powercord. If cabinets are metal, use the grommet 5.
(Seeinstallation hardware in the Installation Instruction Sheet), to surround opening.
4. (SKIP FORHORIZONTAL EXHAUST OR RECIRCULATING EXHAUST). Cut out shaded area K
throughcabinet for Vertical Exhaust location.Exhaust location can beadjusted for a non-recessed cabinet.
5. Removethe top cabinet template.
6.For recessed cabinets,make 3 filler blocks the size of the shaded areas H, I and J,and drill 5/8"diameter
holes throughD, E, and F. Placethe blocks so that the holes in each block line up withthe corresponding
holes in the cabinet. The filler hiocks should be at thesame level asthe bottom edgeof the wall cabinet.
