WARNING
For Your Safety
You will need TWO people to install this oven. It is heavy and could cause personal injury if not handled
properly.
Avoid Electrical Shock!
– Before you drill into the wall, note where electrical outlets are and where electrical wires might be behind
concealed in the wall, YOU COULD GET AN ELECTRIC SHOCK if you contact electrical wires with your drill bit.
– Locate and disconnect the power of any electrical circuits that could be affected by installing this oven.
IF YOU DO NOT DISCONNECT THE POWER, YOU COULD GET AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
ELECTRICAL RATING OF THIS OVEN : 120V AC. 60Hz.
– You need a 120V, 60Hz, AC only, 15A or 20A, fused electrical supply (located in the cabinet above the
microwave as close as possible to the microwave circuit) serving only the microwave.

YOUR SAFETY FIRST
• THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED!
– If there is an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
• Place the plug into a properly installed and grounded outlet. See Figure 3.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Keep the power cord dry and do not pinch or crush it.
• DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUNDING PRONG!
This appliance MUST be grounded!
WARNING
If you use the grounding plug improperly, you risk electric shock and or fire!
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure whether the oven is properly grounded or if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions.
DO NOT USE A FUSE IN THE NEUTRAL OR GROUNDING CIRCUIT.

STEP 1: PREPARE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING
AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED!
1. Locate the grounded electric outlet for this oven in the cabinet above the oven, as shown in Figure 5.
NOTE: The outlet should be on a circuit dedicated to the microwave oven (120V, 60 Hz., AC only) with a 15 or 20A fused electrical supply.
IMPORTANT: If you do not have the proper wall outlet,
you MUST have one installed by a qualified electrician.
2. You will cut the power-supply-cord hole (shown in Figure 5)
later when you prepare the wall and upper cabinet in Step 4.

STEP 2: PREPARE THE VENTING SYSTEM
cabinet
oven
NOTE: The ductwork you need for outside ventilation is not included with your oven. The standard ductwork
fittings and length are shown in Figure 10, page 9.
WARNING
THIS OVEN MUST BE PROPERLY VENTED!
You may vent your oven in one of three ways. However, do NOT vent into a wall cavity, an attic, or an unused area.
󳢯 Roof-venting If your oven is located on an outside wall near the roof, as in Figures 7 (3 1/4" x 10" duct) and
󳢯Wall-venting If your oven is located on an outside wall of your house, as in Figure 6 (3 1/4" x 10" duct) and
󳢯Room-venting If your oven is located on an inside wall of your house, as in Figure 8.
NOTE: If you choose the rear exhaust method (roof-or wall-venting), be sure there is enough clearance within the
wall for the exhaust duct.

REMEMBER AS YOU INSTALL THE VENTING:
󳢯Keep the length of the ductwork and the
numberof elbows to a minimum to ventilate your oven efficiently. See examples on page 9.
󳢯Keep the size of the ductwork the same. 󳢯Do not install two elbows together. 󳢯Use duct tape to seal all joints in the duct
system.
󳢯Use caulking to seal the exterior wall or roof
opening around the cap.

Standard Fittings
NOTE: If the existing duct is round, you must use a rectangular-to-round adapter, with a rectangular 3" extension
duct installed between the damper assembly and the adapter to prevent the exhaust damper’s sticking.
Duct Length
The total length of the duct system, including straight duct, elbows, transitions, and wall or roof caps must not exceed the equivalent of 140 feet.
For best performance, do not use more than three 90 degree elbows, and keep length as short as possible.

STEP 3: PREPARE THE VENTING BLOWER
WARNING
To avoid risk of property damage, unplug the microwave oven or disconnect power at source by removing fuse or throwing circuit breaker.
To avoid risk of personal injury, wear protective gloves when handling mounting plate.
DO NOT PULL OR STRETCH THE BLOWER WIRING! Pulling and stretching the blower wiring could result in
electrical shock.
Your microwave oven is shipped with the blower assembled for room venting. If you want wall-venting or roof-vented installation, you must change the blower, as detailed below.
A thick, protective
Before You Start
1. Remove any shipping materials and parts from inside the
microwave oven.
2. Cover the counter top or cooktop with a thick, protective
covering to protect it from damage and dirt. See Figure 11.
NOTE: If you have a free-standing range, disconnect it, move it
onto a piece of cardboard or hardboard and pull it away from the wall, so that you can get closer to the upper cabinet and back wall for easier measuring and drilling.
Figure 11
covering
Remove The Mounting Plate:
1. Remove mounting plate screw(s) (1 or 2 screws) from the
mounting plate as shown and discard. See Figure 12.
2. This plate will be used as the rear mounting plate. (It will be
used to locate and mark the mounting holes on the rear wall.)
3. Locate exhaust adapter, grease filters and hardware packet.
4. At this point, remove any adhesive tape (if there is any), on the
exhaust adapter, the grease filters and the power supply cord.
Room-Vented (recirculating) Installation:
This oven is shipped assembled for room-vented. Go to step 4 on page 12.
Wall-Vented Installation:
1. Remove one blower unit mounting screw and one or two
blower plate screw(s). Remove the blower plate from cabinet. See Figure 13.
2. Carefully lift the blower unit out of the microwave oven.
3. Use side cutters or thin snips to cut and remove knockouts “B”
from Back plate. Discard knockouts. Be careful not to distort the plate. See Figure 14.

17.
7. Reattach the blower plate to cabinet so the exhaust ports and blower plate opening are aligned. Attach with one
blower unit mounting screw and then one blower plate mounting screw. See Figure 18.
