BEFORE INSTALLATION
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
WARNING
• Before you plug in an electrical cord or turn on power supply, make sure all controls
are in the OFF position. Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel.
• Connect the appliance only to properly grounded outlet. Improper grounding may
result in electrical 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 cut or remove the ground prong. It must be plugged into a matching
grounding type receptacle to avoid electrical shock.
• Installation, electrical connections, and grounding must comply with all applicable
codes. In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
• If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire cord that has a 3-prong
grounded plug and a 3-slot receptacle. The marked rating of the extension cord shall
be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
• Only a qualified electrician who takes the appropriate regulations into account may
install the socket or replace the connecting cable.
• Touching some of the internal components of this appliance can cause serious
personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this product. Improper use of the
grounding can result in electrical shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is
properly installed and grounded.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
WARNING
We do not recommend using an extension cord and if used on this appliance,
it will void warranty. If you use an extension cord, make sure the wire gauge
and length are correct for use with a microwave. The use of an extension cord
can cause voltage drop, fire hazard, and can cause permanent damage to the
microwave if used.

2. After locating the stud(s), find the center by probing the wall with a small nail to find
the edges of the stud. Use a pencil to mark the halfway point between the edges. The
center of any adjacent studs should be 16” or 24” from this mark, depending on your
home’s design.
3. Draw a line down the center of the studs.
The microwave must be connected to at least one wall stud, as the mounting
surface must be capable of supporting the cabinet load, in addition to the
added weight of this product (63-85 pounds, 28.5-38.5 kg), plus additional
oven loads of up to 50 pounds (22.7 kg) for a total weight of 113-135
pounds (51.3-61.2 kg). Mounting the unit to drywall will not meet this
requirement, and you run the risk of serious injury or death if the appliance
falls from its supports.
