• Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer.
• Product failure due to improper installation is not covered
under the Warranty.
• Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing
the Over the Range Microwave Oven. Two people are
recommended to install this product.
• If a new electrical outlet is required, its installation should
be completed by a qualified electrician before the Over the
Range Microwave Oven is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 2.
2 WALL CONSTRUCTION
This Over the Range Microwave Oven should be mounted against
and supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall must be flat for proper
installation. If the wall is not flat, use spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall
construction should be a minimum of 2" x 4" wood studding and
3/8" or more thick dry wall or plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces
must be capable of supporting weight of 110 pounds—the oven
and contents—AND the weight of all items which would normally
be stored in the top cabinet above the unit.
The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2" x 4" wall
stud.
To find the location of the studs, one of the following methods may
be used:
A. Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the nails in
the stud.
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to
find a solid sound. This will indicate stud location.
The center of the stud can be located by probing the wall with a
small nail to find the edges of the stud and then placing a mark
halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs will
normally be 16" or 24" to either side of this mark.

3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with
a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must
be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. DO NOT
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE
GROUNDING PIN FROM
THE PLUG. DO NOT USE
EXTENSION CORD.
The Power Supply Cord and
plug must be connected to a
separate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz,
15 Amp, or more branch circuit,
single grounded receptacle. The
receptacle should be located
inside the cabinet directly above
the Microwave Oven mounting
location as shown in Figure 2.
NOTES:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson.
2. Neither Electrolux nor the dealer can accept any liability for
damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to
observe the correct electrical connection procedures.
4 HOOD EXHAUST DUCT
When the hood is vented to the outside, a hood exhaust duct is
required. All ductwork must be metal; absolutely do not use plastic
duct. Check that all connections are made securely. Please read
the following carefully:
Exhaust connection: The hood exhaust has been designed to
connect to a standard 3 Z\v" x 10" rectangular duct. If round duct is
required, a rectangular-to-round adapter must be used.
Rear exhaust: If a rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used, care
should be taken to align the exhaust with the space between the
studs, or wall should be prepared at the time it is constructed
by leaving enough space between wall studs to accommodate
exhaust.
Maximum duct length: For satisfactory air movement, the total
duct length of 3 Z\v" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct
should not exceed 140 feet.
Elbows, adapters, wall caps, roof caps, etc. present additional
resistance to air flow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct
which is longer than their actual physical size. When calculating
the total length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and
adapters plus the length of all straight duct sections. Figure 3
shows the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical
ductwork parts. Use the values in parentheses for calculating air
flow resistance equivalent, which should total less than 140 feet.

RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven
to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different
electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven
as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

(PREPARING OVEN FOR INSTALLATION)
This Over the Range Microwave Oven is designed for adaptation
to three types of hood ventilation systems. Select the type required
for your installation.
The unit is shipped assembled for recirculating.
NOTE:
1. The Exhaust Damper Assembly is not required for recirculating
exhaust.
2. The Charcoal Filter should be replaced every 6 to 12 months,
depending on use.
(B) HORIZONTAL EXHAUST: OUTSIDE VENTILATION
1. Remove 2 screws from back edge and 3 screws from the
top center of Fan Cover Bracket. Save 2 screws to be used
later and discard remaining 3. Remove Fan Cover Bracket
by sliding it in the opposite direction of the arrow on the Fan
Cover Bracket, as shown in Figure 7.
2. Lift Hood Fan Unit carefully and slip wires out of cavity. See
Figure 8. Caution: Do not pull or stretch hood fan wiring.
3. Rotate the Hood Fan Unit 180˚ so that the fan blade openings
are facing the back of the oven. See Figure 9 (A). Replace
Hood Fan Unit into the oven. Be careful not to pinch the wire
and the Hood Fan Unit. See Figure 9 (B).
4. Put the wire back into the cavity. See Figure 10A.
5. Assemble the Exhaust Damper Assembly to the fan cover
bracket by sliding into the slits in the same directions as the
arrow. Use 1 Tapping Screw 4 x 12 mm from the INSTALLATION
HARDWARE and tighten into place. See Figure 10B.

9 OVEN INSTALLATION
THIS OVEN CANNOT BE PROPERLY INSTALLED WITHOUT
REFERRING TO THE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOUND ON
WALL AND TOP CABINET TEMPLATES.
THE NEXT STEP IS TO READ AND FOLLOW MOUNTING
INFORMATION ON WALL AND TOP CABINET TEMPLATES.
THIS OVEN MUST BE ATTACHED TO AT LEAST ONE WALL
STUD. SEE WALL CONSTRUCTION ON PAGE 1.
WHEN DONE WITH TEMPLATES, PROCEED TO MOUNTING
SCALE PLATE SECTION.
MOUNTING SCALE PLATE SPACERS
Attach 2 Scale Plates with tape (not included). See Figure 16 and
WALL TEMPLATE for locations.
Scale Plates
Mounting Plate
MOUNTING PLATE
1. Separate 4 Toggle Bolts, packed in the INSTALLATION
HARDWARE, from the Toggle Nuts.
2. Match 5/8" holes (not in studs), drilled through WALL
TEMPLATE into wall to corresponding holes on Mounting
Plate.
3. Insert Toggle Bolts into matched openings on Mounting Plate.
Put Toggle Nuts on Toggle Bolts. See Figure 17.
4. Position the Mounting Plate with the Toggle Bolts attached at
the wall location and insert Toggle Nuts and Bolts through the
holes in the wall with the Toggle Nuts closed. Figure 18. Use
Wood Screws to attach the Mounting Plate to studs.
NOTE: Before insertion, be sure you leave a space more than
the thickness of the wall between the Mounting Plate and
the end of each of the Toggle Nuts (in the closed position).
If you do not leave enough space, the Toggle Nut will not be
able to open on the other side of the wall. Also, once a Toggle
Nut opens, it cannot be withdrawn from the hole; therefore
make sure all of the Toggles are in the correct position before
insertion.
5. Align the Mounting Plate carefully and hold in position while
tightening Toggle Bolts. Pull Toggle Bolt toward you and turn
clockwise to tighten. Figure 19.
6. Remove scale plates.
