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.
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.
Ensure proper |
ground exists |
before use |
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.
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 should be brought to a seperate and dedicated 15to 20ampere branch circuit single grounded outlet. The outlet box should be located in the cabinet above the microwave oven. The outler box and supply circuit should be installed by a qualifed electrician and conform to the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code.

•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.
•As a guide to installation, see page 24 for Mounting Template Information.
•If the cabinet depth including the cabinet doors
is more than 13'"' then the unit must be spaced out from wall using adequate materials supporting
150 Ibs to allow proper top vent air exhaust/intake.

5Remove the screws from each end of the mounting plate. This plate will be used as the rear wall template and for mounting. Reinstall the screws into the holes where they were removed.
B. FINDING THE WALL STUDS
Wall
Studs
Center
1Find 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.
2After 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 16ω (40.6 cm) or 24ω (61 cm) from this mark.
3 Draw a line down the center of the studs.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30″ space.
Tape the Rear Wall Template onto the wall matching the centerline and touching the bottom cabinet frame.
Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes with the microwave installation. Remove the decorative trim to install the microwave properly and to make it level.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE LEVEL.
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.
1Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
2Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth of the front overhang.
3For this type of installation with front overhang only, align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

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 25.4 cm) rectangular duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, 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).
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. The chart below shows you how to calculate total equivalent ductwork length using the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round

Attach the plate to the wall using toggle bolts. At least one wood screw must be used to attach the plate to a wall stud.
1Remove the toggle wings from the bolts.
2Insert the bolts into the mounting plate through the holes designated to go into drywall
and reattach the toggle wings to 3⁄4″ (19 mm) onto each bolt.

A2. USE TOP CABINET TEMPLATE FOR PREPARATION OF TOP CABINET
You need to drill holes for the top support screws, a hole large enough for the power cord to fit through, and a cutout large enough for the exhaust adaptor.
•Read the instructions on the TOP CABINET TEMPLATE.
•Tape it underneath the top cabinet.
•Drill the holes, following the instructions on the TOP CABINET TEMPLATE.
CAUTION: Wear safety goggles when drilling holes in the cabinet bottom.

FOR EASIER INSTALLATION AND PERSONAL SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND THAT TWO PEOPLE
INSTALL THIS MICROWAVE OVEN.
IMPORTANT: Do not grip or use the handle or heat shield during installation. Do not
remove the cardboard spacers between the heat shield and door.
NOTE: If your cabinet is metal, use the nylon grommet around the power cord hole to prevent cutting of the cord.
NOTE: We recommend using filler blocks if the cabinet front hangs below the cabinet bottom shelf.
IMPORTANT: If filler blocks are
not used, case damage may occur from overtightening screws.
