1.1 General safety

C Read and save these instructions

Doing so will:

•make installation easier.

•help you in the future if you have questions.

•help if you have an electrical inspection.

Call your dealer when you have questions or need service. When you call, you will need the microwave model and serial numbers.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric A shock, or injury to persons, always exercise basic safety precautions, in-

cluding the following:

Read all instructions before using the appliance.

This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet. The installer must perform a ground continuity check on the power outlet box before beginning the installation to insure that the outlet box is properly grounded.

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.

For personal safety, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation to avoid severe or fatal shock injury.

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 (28.5–38.5 kg) product, plus additional oven loads of up to 50 pounds (22.7 kg) or a total weight of 113–135 pounds (51.3–61.2 kg).

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.

For easier installation and personal safety, it is recommended that two people install this product.

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded to avoid severe or fatal shock.

1 Important instructions

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.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut, deform or remove any of the prongs from the power cord. Do not use with an extension cord.

1.1.1 Electrical safety

Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps and 1500 watts. This product must be connected to a supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency.

Wire size must conform to the requirementsoftheNationalElectrical Code or the prevailing local code for this kilowatt rating. The power supply cord and plug should be brought to a separate 15to 20ampere 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.

Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests						Total Length	=	63 Ft. (19.2 m)
and reflect requirements for good venting performance with
any vent hood.

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

If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 31⁄4” x C 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6” (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceed 120 equivalent

feet (36.5 m).

Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCK. Read the following carefully. It is important that venting be installed using the most direct

C 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.

4.1.3 Exhaust connection

The exhaust adaptor has been designed to mate with a standard 31⁄4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular duct. If a round duct is required, a rectangu- lar-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than a 6” 6” (15.2 cm) diameter duct.

Over The Range Convection Microwave Oven / Installation Manual	9 / 63 EN

4 External exhaust

4.1.4 Maximum duct length

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 31⁄4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6” (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceed 120 equivalent feet (36.5 m).

4.1.5 Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps, etc.,

Present additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct which is longer than 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 approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.

5.1 Placement of the mounting plate

5.1.1 Removing the microwave oven from the carton/ removing the mounting plate

1.Remove the installation instructions, filters, glass tray and the small hardware bag. Do not remove the Styrofoam protecting the front of the oven.

2.Fold back all 4 carton flaps fully against carton sides. Then carefully roll the oven and carton over onto the top side. The oven should be resting in the Styrofoam.

5.Remove the screws from the mounting plate. This plate will be used as the rear wall template and for mounting. Reinstall the screws into the holes where they were removed.

5.1.2 Finding the wall studs

1. Find the studs, using one of the following methods:

•• Stud finder – a magnetic device which locates nails.

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

2.After locating the stud(s), find the center by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud. Then place a mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should be 16“ (40.6 cm) or 24“ (61 cm) from this mark.

3.Draw a line down the center of the studs.

A WARNING: The microwave must be connected to at least one wall stud.

Tape the Rear Wall Template onto the wall matching the centerline and touching the bottom cabinet frame.

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.

1.Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.

2.Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth of the front overhang.

3.For this type of installation with front overhang only, align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not touching the cabinet bottom as described in subtitle 5.1.4.

Draw a line on the

5.1.4 Aligning the wall plate

1.Draw a Vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30” wide space.

2.Draw a Horizontal line on the wall at the bottom of “Rear Wall Template”.

3.Drill 5/8” holes for toggle bolts on 2 locations (Hole A, Hole B) but if the location of hole is same as that of stud, drill a 3/16” hole for wood screw. In other words, toggle bolt can not be used to the location of stud.

C DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.

Holes A and B are inside area E. If both of A and B are not in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E and

C draw a forth circle to line up with the stud. It is important to use at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud to support the weight of the microwave. Set the mounting plate aside.

A1. Attach Mounting Plate to Wall

Attach the plate to the wall using toggle bolts. At least one wood screw must be used to attach the plate to a wall stud.

1.Remove the toggle wings from the bolts.

2.Insert the bolts into the mounting plate through the holes designated to go into drywall and reattach the toggle wings to 3⁄4” (19 mm) onto each bolt.

To use toggle bolts:

A Be careful to avoid pinching fingers between the back of the mounting plate and the wall.

4.Tighten all bolts. Pull the plate away from the wall to help tighten the bolts.

A2. Use top cabinet template For preparation of top Cabinet

You need to drill holes for the top support screws, a hole large enough for the power cord to fit through, and a cutout large enough for the exhaust adaptor.

3.Place the mounting plate against the wall and insert the toggle wings into the holes in the wall to mount the plate.

Before tightening toggle bolts and wood screw, make sure the tabs on C the mounting plate touch the bottom of the cabinet when pushed flush against the wall and that the plate is properly centered under the

cabinet.

•• Read the instructions on the TOP CABINET TEMPLATE.

•• Tape it underneath the top cabinet.

•• Drill the holes, following the instructions on the TOP CABINET TEMPLATE.
