to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.
When the service disconnecting means cannot be
locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device,
such as a tag, to the service panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction
codes and standards.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the
heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety
standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) and the American Society
for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.

1. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance requires a three-prong grounded outlet. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having
a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. No
adapter should be used with this appliance. Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard
115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this circuit.
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.
2. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 13.5 amps and 1.5 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 power 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.
MD0003
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance, in accordance
with all applicable codes and standards. Do not cut, deform or remove the third (ground) prong
from the power cord under any circumstances. Connect the unit only to a 20 A dedicated circuit.

3. HOOD EXHAUST
NOTE: Read these next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to the outside. To recirculate
the air back into the room, proceed to page 14.
3.1 VERTICAL DISCHARGE (EXAMPLE ONLY)
The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.
3.2 HORIZONTAL DISCHARGE (EXAMPLE ONLY)
The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.
DUCT PIECES EQUIVALENT

Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and
reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent
hood.
TOTAL
LENGTH = 41 ft.
*If a rectangular-to-round transition adapter is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be
cut to fit, using a tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.

3. HOOD EXHAUST (CONT’D)
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, ensure damper swings freely and nothing is
blocking the ducts.
EXHAUST CONNECTION:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 3¼” x 10” rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adapter must be used. Do not use less than a 6”
diameter duct.
MAXIMUM DUCT LENGTH:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3¼” x 10” rectangular or 6” diameter round duct should not
exceed 140 equivalent feet.
ELBOWS, TRANSITIONS, WALL AND ROOF CAPS, ETC.
These duct pieces 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 adapters 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.
*If a rectangular-to-round transition adapter is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to
be cut to fit, using a tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance
with any vent hood.
