Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 ensure 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.

CAUTION: For personal

safety, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning

installation to avoid severe or fatal shock injury.

CAUTION: 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).

CAUTION: 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.

You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is very important to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle, installed by a qualified electrician.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT, DEFORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS

FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps and

1.6 kilowatts. This product must be connected to a

seperate and dedicated supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency. Wire size must conform to

the requirements of the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code for this kilowatt rating. The power supply cord and plug shotfld be brought to a

seperate and dedicated 15- to 20- ampere branch circtfit 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 qualifed electrician and conform to the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code.

NOTE: For easier installation and personal safety, it is

recommended that two people install this product.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE OR FATAL SHOCK.

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.

• If you are going to vent your microwave oven to the outside, see Hood Exhaust Section for

exhaust duct preparation.

• When installing the microwave oven beneath smooth, flat cabinets, be careful to follow the

instructions on the top cabinet template for power cord clearance.

I-_ FINDING THE WALL STUDS

[] Pull the carton up and off the oven.

[] Find the studs, using one of the following

methods: A. Stud finder - a magnetic device which

locates nails.

B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the

mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate a stud location.

_}_ 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.

[] Draw a line down the center of the studs.

THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

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.

I_ Measure the inside depth of the front overhang. I_ Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal

INSTALLATION TYPES

This microwave oven is designed for adaptation to the following three types of ventilation:

A. Outside Top Exhaust (Vertical Duct) B. Outside Back Exhaust (Horizontal Duct)

C. Recirculating (Non-Vented Ductless)

OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (VERTICAL DUCT)

RECIRCULATING (NON-VENTED DUCTLESS)

NOTE: Read the next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to the outside. If you plan to recirculate the air back into the room, proceed to page 20.

Models are shipped for recirculating exhaust.

Some models have a disposable charcoal filter

installed to help remove smoke and odors.

Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXTERNAL EXHAUST DUCTING

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total

duct length of 31/4" x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 5" (12.7 cm) diameter/ 6" (15.2 cm) diameter round duct

should not exceed 120 equivalent feet (36.5 m). Outside ventilation requires an EXTERNAL EXHAUST

DUCT.Read the following carefully.

NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using

the most direct 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.

Exhaust connection:

The exhaust adaptor has been designed to mate with a standard 31/4" x 10" (8.2 x 254 cm) rectangular duct.

If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. A 5" (12.7cm)/6" (15.2cm)

diameter duct is acceptable to use.

diameter/6 "(15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceed 120 equivalent feet (36.5 m).

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.
