IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.The installer nmst perform a ground continuity checkon the power outlet box before beginning theinstallation to insure that the outlet box is properlygrounded. If not properly grounded, or if the outletbox does not meet electrical requirements noted(under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualifiedelectrician should be employed to correct anydeficiencies.

CAUTION: For personalsafety, remove house fuseor open circuit breakerbefore beginninginstallation to avoid severe

or fatal shock injury.

CAUTION: For personal safety, the mounting surfacemust be capable of supporting the cabinet load, inaddition to the added weight of this 63-85 pound(28.5-38.5 kg) product, plus additional oven loads ofup to 50 pounds (22.7 kg) or a total weight of113-135 pounds (51.3-61.2 kg).

CAUTION: For personal safety, this product cannotbe installed in cabinet arrangements such as an island ora peninsula. It must be mounted to BOTH a top cabinetAND a wall.

NOTE: For easier installation and personal safety, it isrecommended that two people install this product.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR

PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BEPROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE ORFATAL SHOCK.

The power cord of thisappliance is equipped with athree-prong (grounding)plug which mates with astandard three-prong(grounding) wall receptacleto minimize the possibilityof electric shock hazard

from this appliance.

Ensurepropergroundexistsbeforeuse

You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checkedby a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle isproperly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle isencountered, it is very important to have it replacedwith a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle,installed by a qualified electrician.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,DEFORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGSFROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITHAN EXTENSION CORD.

ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTSProduct rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps and

1.6 kilowatts. This product must be connected to a

supply circuit of the proper voltage and fl'equency.Wire size must conform to the requirements of theNational Electrical Code or the prevailing local

code for this kilowatt rating. The power supply

cord and plug should be brought to a separate15- to 20- ampere branch circuit single groundedoutlet. The outlet box should be located in thecabinet above the microwave oven. The outlet box

and supply circuit should be installed by a qualifiedelectrician and conform to the National Electrical

Code or the prevailing local code.

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the totalduct length of 31/4" x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or6" (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceed

120 equivalent feet (36.5 m).

Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT.Read the following carefully.

NOTE: It is important that venting be installed usingthe most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.This ensures cleat" venting of exhaust and helps preventblockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely andnothing is blocking the ducts.

Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate witha standard 31/4" x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular duct.

If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-roundtransition adaptor nmst be used. Do not use less thana 6" (15.2 em) diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of3l/4" x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6" (15.2 cm)

diameter round duct should not exceed 120 equivalentfeet (36.5 m).

Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps,etc., present additional resistance to airflow and are

equivalent to a section of straight duct which is longerthan 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 al)t)roximate feetof equivalent length of some typical ducts.

PLACEMENT OF THE MOUNTING PLATE

I-_ REMOVING THE MICROWAVEOVEN FROM THE CARTON/REMOVING THE MOUNTINGPLATE

[]Remove the installation instructions, filters, glass

tray and the small hardware bag. Do not removethe Styrofoam protecting the fl'ont of the oven.

[]Fold back all 4 carton flaps fully against cartonsides. Then carefully roll the oven and carton overonto the top side. The oven should be resting inthe Styrofoam.

[Pull the carton up and off the oven.

[]Remove and properly discard plastic bags.

Screws----__MountingPlate

Ti

[]Remove the screws from the mounting plate.This plate will be used as the rear wall templateand for mounting. Reinstall the screws into theholes where they were removed.

I-_ FINDING THE WALL STUDS

]Find the studs, using one of the followingmethods:

A. Stud finder - a magnetic device whichlocates nails.

OR

B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across themounting surface to find a solid sound.This will indicate a stud location.

[] After locating the stud(s), find the center byprobing the wall with a small nail to find the edgesof the stud. Then place a mark halfway betweenthe edges. The center of any adjacent studs shouldbe 16" (40.6 cm) or 24" (61 cm) fi'oln this mark.

[]Draw a line down the center of the studs.

THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TOAT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

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 fl'ont overhang only, with no

back or side fl'ame, install the mounting plate down

the same distance as the fl'ont overhang depth. Thiswill kee t) the microwave level.

[]Measure the inside depth of the fl'ont overhang.

[]Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equaldistance below the cabinet bottom as the inside

depth of the fl'ont overhang.

[] For this type of installation with fl'ont overhang only,

align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, nottouching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

_ While holding the mounting plate with one hand,draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C and D

(see illustration above/actual plate marked withan'ows). Four holes must be used for mounting.

[]

NOTE: If neither C nor D is in a stud, find a studsomewhere in area E and draw a fifth circle to line upwith the stud. It is important to use at least one wood

screw mounted firmly in a stud to support the weightof the microwave.

Set the mounting plate aside.

Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3A(;"hole for wood screws. For holes that don't line up witha stud, drill a %" hole for toggle bolts.

NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE ATTHIS TIME.
