Microwave Safety

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND DURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

▯ Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with

the door open.

▯ Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be

serviced before activating the magnetron or other microwave source, and make repairs as necessary:

Interlock operation

Proper door closing

Seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and other damage)

Damage to or loosening of hinges and latches

Evidence of dropping or abuse

▯ Before turning on microwave power for any service

test or inspection within the microwave generating compartments, check the magnetron, wave guide or transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment, integrity, and connection.

▯ Any damaged or misadjusted components in the

interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave generation and transmission systems shall be repaired, replaced, or adjusted by procedures described in this manual before the oven is released to the owner.

▯ A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with

the Federal Performance Standard should be performed on each oven prior to release to the owner.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a safe pathway for electric current in the event of a short circuit.

This appliance 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 grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

Related Equipment Safety

Electrical Installation

The model stated on the front cover is rated at 120V AC, 60 Hz and uses a NEMA 5-15 plug to connect to a dedicated 120 V microwave circuit.

Model Connection Circuit

Requirements

HMV5053C NEMA 5-15 120 V,

60 Hz

Electrical Requirements:

▯ a three prong grounded outlet ▯ 120 V, 60 Hz, AC only ▯ 15 Amp electrical supply with a fuse or a circuit

breaker

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 Electric Code or the prevailing local code for this rating. The power supply cord and plug should be brought to a separate 20-amp branch circuit single grounded outlet. The outlet box should be located in the area behind the appliance (see section Cabinet Dimensions). 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.

The voltage used must be the same as specified on this microwave oven. Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or oven damage. Using a lower voltage will cause slow cooking. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages resulting from the use of the oven with any voltage other than specified.

15 Amps

Install Appliance

Removing the mounting plate

Note: To avoid possible damage to the work surface or

to the bottom of the appliance, cover the work surface.

Remove any remaining contents from the microwave oven cavity.

Remove the screws from the mounting plate.

No wall studs at corner holes

If wall stud is within 6¼" (159 mm) of the vertical centerline, only Room Venting (recirculation) or Roof Venting installations can be done.

Wall stud at one corner hole

The mounting plate will be used as the rear wall template and for mounting.

Reinstall the screws into the holes where they were removed.

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.

Finding the wall studs

Note: The microwave must be connected to at least one

wall stud. If no wall studs exist within the cabinet opening, do not install the microwave oven.

Locate the edges of the wall studs within the cabinet opening by using:

- a stud finder or

- a hammer (tapping lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound).

Place a mark halfway between the edges and draw a line down the center of the studs (See possible wall studs configuration).

Possible wall stud configurations

These depictions show examples of preferred installation configurations with the mounting plate.

Note: Care must be taken when drilling holes. Electrical wires may be concealed behind the wall covering and contact with them could result in electrical shock.

Wall studs at both corner holes

Attaching the mounting plate to the wall

Preparing rear wall

9 CAUTION

Wear gloves to avoid cutting fingers on sharp edges.

Note: Make sure the cabinet bottom is level.

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the cabinet space.

Cabinet with front overhang: Draw a line on the back wall equal to the depth of the front overhang.

Tape the REAR WALL TEMPLATE onto the wall matching the centerline and touching the bottom of the cabinet or the level line.

Draw a horizontal line on the wall at the bottom of the Rear Wall Template.

Drill holes at locations A and B:

▯ 3/16” (5 mm) holes for wood screws (stud) ▯ 5/8” (16 mm) holes for toggle bolts (no stud)

Note: If neither A nor B is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in the area of the mounting plate and drill a 3/16” (5 mm) hole.

It is important to use at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud to support the weight of the microwave.

Wall venting installation only: Cut out the shaded

area “F” on the REAR WALL TEMPLATE using a saber or keyhole saw.

Attach toggle wings from the back of the mounting plate onto each bolt. Leave enough space for toggle wings to go through the wall and to open.

Place the mounting plate against the wall and push the bolts through the drywall.

Finger tighten the bolts to make sure toggle wings have opened against drywall.

9 CAUTION

If exhaust adaptor is positioned outside consider recommended dimensions, otherwise greaseladen air will discharge into house structure.

Remove REAR WALL TEMPLATE.

Attaching the mounting plate

Remove the toggle wings from the bolts.

Insert the bolts into the mounting plate through the holes designated to go into drywall.

Verify that the plate is properly centered and level.

Securely tighten all screws, including the wood screw.
