NOTES:

• If installing the microwave oven near a left sidewall, make sure there is at least 6" (15.2 cm) of clearance between the wall and

the microwave oven, so that the door can open fully. Some cabinet and building materials are not designed to

withstand the heat produced by the microwave oven for cooking. Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make

sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damages.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Required:

• A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply with a fuse or circuit breaker.

Recommended:

• A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.

• A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven.

GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS

[] For all cord connected appliances:

The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of

electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord

having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed

and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can

result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are

not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install

an outlet near the microwave oven.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

Depending on your model, the mounting plate may be in the foam packaging, or it may be attached to the back of the microwave

oven. NOTE: To avoid possible damage to the work surface, cover the

work surface.

1. Remove any remaining contents from the microwave oven cavity.

2. If the mounting plate is attached to the back of the microwave oven, remove it and set it aside.

3. Tape the microwave oven door closed so that door does not swing open while the microwave oven is being handled.

NOTE: To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not grip or use the door or door handle while the microwave oven is being

handled.

The microwave oven is set for recirculation installation. For wall or roof venting, changes must be made to the venting system.
