Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Over the Range Convection
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 microwave oven is installed. See ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS page 5.
This microwave oven requires a mounting space on a wall as shown in Figure 1.
For proper installation and servicing, a 2-inch space is necessary between the top of the range
backsplash and the bottom of the Over the Range Microwave Oven.

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.
Note: In the event that the unit will be unable to be supported by any stud, it will be necessary
to use special care in the placement of the toggle bolts and top cabinet screws. See Wall
Template for details. The top cabinet should be tested to ensure it is securely attached to the
wall. Place extra weight up to 110 pounds inside the top cabinet to test the support.
This appliance must be grounded. This microwave 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. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS TOO SHORT, HAVE A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICEPERSON INSTALL AN OUTLET NEAR THE
APPLIANCE.
The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. DO NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.
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.
Notes:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified
electrician or serviceperson.
2. Neither Fisher & Paykel 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.
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 1⁄4" 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 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter
round duct should not exceed 140 feet.
Elbows, adapters, wall, 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 4 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.

PREPARATION OF THE OVENVENTILATION SYSTEM
1. Open the bottom of the carton, remove oven and all packing materials.
2. CHECK THE OVEN.
Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and
sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or
on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact your dealer or
Fisher & Paykel AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
3. Rest the microwave oven on its side as shown in Figure 6.
4. Remove the two screws which secure the mounting plate to the rear side of the oven.
Remove the mounting plate. The two screws can be discarded.
Note: If the unit you purchased does not have the mounting plate attached to the rear side of
the oven, please disregard this section and continue to Section 8.

This Over-the-range microwave oven is designed for adaptation to three types of hood
ventilation systems. Select the type required for your installation.
A. RECIRCULATING - NON-VENTED, DUCTLESS OPERATION
The unit is shipped assembled for recirculating.
Note:
1. The Exhaust Damper Assembly (Figure 11) is not required for recirculating operation.
2. The Charcoal Filter provided with the unit must be installed behind the exhaust louver
before use. For instructions on installation of the filter, refer to the "Cleaning and Care"
section in the Use and Care Guide.
3. The Charcoal Filter should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, depending on use.

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.
