Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSThis product requires a three-prong grounded outlet. The installer must perform a ground continuitycheck on the power outlet box before beginning theinstallation to insure that the outlet box is properlygrounded. If not properly grounded, or if the outlet box does not meet electrical requirements noted (under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualified electrician should be employed to correct any deficiencies.

CAUTION: For personal safety, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installationto 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 63-85 pound (28.6-38.6 kg) product, plus additional oven loads of up to 50 pounds (22.7 kg) or a total weight of 113-135pounds (51.3-61.2 kg).

CAUTION: For personal safety, this product cannot be installed in cabinet arrangements such as an island or a peninsula. It must be mounted to BOTH a top cabinet AND a wall.

NOTE: For easier installation and personal safety, it is recommended that two people install this product.IMPORTANT—PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE OR FATAL SHOCK.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

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 is encountered, it is very important to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle,installed by a qualified electrician.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,DEFORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD.

ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTSProduct rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps and1.58 kilowatts. This product must be connected to asupply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency.Wire size must conform to the requirements of theNational Electrical Code or the prevailing local code for this kilowatt rating. The power supply cord andplug should be brought to a separate 15 to 20 amperebranch circuit single grounded outlet. The outlet boxshould be located in the cabinet above the microwaveoven. The outlet box and supply circuit should beinstalled by a qualified electrician and conform to theNational Electrical Code or the prevailing local code.

The following chart describes an example of one possibleductwork installation.

NOTE: Read these next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to theoutside. If you plan to recirculate the air back into the room, proceed to page 6.

OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)

NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align exhaust with space between studs, or wall should be preparedat the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.

*IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper willhave to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.

* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transitionadaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damperwill have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in orderto allow free movement of the damper.

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the totalduct length of 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular or 6″ diameter roundduct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet (42.67 m). Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUSTDUCT. 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 preventblockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely andnothing is blocking the ducts.

Exhaust connection: The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular duct.If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than a 6″ diameter duct.

Maximum duct length: For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular or 6″ diameter round duct shouldnot exceed 140 equivalent feet (42.67 m).

Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps,etc., present additional resistance to airflow and areequivalent 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 straightduct sections. The chart below shows you how to calculate total equivalent ductwork length using theapproximate feet of equivalent length of some typicalducts.

Find the studs, using one of the following methods:A. Stud finder – a magnetic device which

locates nails.OR

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

After locating the stud(s), find the center by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edgesof the stud. Then place a mark halfway between theedges. The center of any adjacent studs should be16″ or 24″ (40.64 cm or 60.96 cm) from this mark.Draw a line down the center of the studs.

THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TOAT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

DETERMINING WALL PLATE LOCATION UNDER YOUR CABINETC.

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interfereswith the microwave installation. Remove the decorativetrim to install the microwave properly and to make itlevel.

THE MICROWAVE MUST BE LEVEL.Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.

If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with no back or side frame, install the mounting plate down the same distance as the front overhang depth. This will keep the microwave level.

Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.

Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal distance below the cabinet bottom as the insidedepth of the front overhang.For this type of installation with front overhang only,align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, nottouching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

ALIGNING THE WALL PLATE

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30″(76.2 cm) wide space.Use the mounting plate as the template for the rearwall. Place the mounting plate on the wall, making sure that the tabs are touching the bottom of the cabinet. Line up the notch and center line on the mounting plate to the center line on the wall.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 with arrows).Four holes must be used for mounting.

NOTE: Holes C and D are inside area E. If neither C nor D is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area Eand draw a fifth circle to line up with the stud. It isimportant to use at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud to support the weight of the microwave.Set the mounting plate aside.Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3⁄16″hole for wood screws. For holes that don’t line up with astud, drill a 5⁄8″ hole for toggle bolts.NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THISTIME.

FOR EASIER INSTALLATION AND PERSONALSAFETY, WE RECOMMEND THAT TWO PEOPLEINSTALL THIS MICROWAVE OVEN. IMPORTANT: Do not grip or use handleduring installation.NOTE: If your cabinet is metal, use the nylon grommet around the power cord hole to prevent cutting of the cord.NOTE: We recommend using filler blocks if the cabinet front hangs below the cabinet bottom shelf.IMPORTANT: If filler blocks are not used, case damage may occur from overtightening screws.

Insert a self-aligning screw through top center cabinet hole. Temporarily secure the oven by turning the screw at least two full turns after thethreads have engaged. (It will be completelytightened later.) Be sure to keep power cordtight. Be careful not to pinch the cord, especiallywhen mounting flush to bottom of cabinet.

NOTE: When mountingthe microwave oven,thread power cordthrough hole in bottom oftop cabinet. Keep it tightthroughout Steps 1–3. Donot pinch cord or lift ovenby pulling cord.
