Electrical: Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 14.5 amps (13 amps CANADA) and 1.65 kilowatts (1.5 kilowatts CANADA). 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 kilowatt 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.

CABINET OPENING DIMENSIONS

A 3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6" (15.2 cm) round vent should be used.

The total length of the vent system including straight vent, elbow(s), transitions and wall or roof caps must not exceed the equivalent of 140 ft (42.7 m) for either type of vent.

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, make sure dampers swing freely and

nothing is blocking the ducts.

For best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows. To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent length

for each vent piece used in the system. See the following examples:

Bottom edge of cabinet needs to be 33" or more from the cooking surface

OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)

The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.

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

The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.

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

NOTES:

• The space between the cabinets must be 30" (76.2 cm) wide and free of obstructions.

• This microwave oven is for installation over ranges up to 33" (83.8 cm)

wide.

• If you are going to vent your microwave oven to the outside, see Venting Requirements for exhaust duct preparation.

• When installing the microwave oven beneath smooth flat cabinets be

careful to follow the instructions on the top cabinet template for power cord clearance.
