BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• _ Save these instructions for local
inspector's use.

• _ Observe all governing codes and

coordinates.

• NOTI;' TO iNSTALLER - Be sure to leave these
instructions with the Consumer.

• NOTE TO CONSUMER - Keep these instructions for

future reference.

• SKILL LEVEL- Installation of this appliance requires

basic mechanical and electrical skills.

Readtheseinstructionscompletelyandcarefully.

1 MOUNTINGSPACE

This Over the Range Microwave Oven requires a mounting
space on a wall as shown in Figure 1. It is designed to be

used with standard 12" wall cabinets.

• 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 WALLCONSTRUCTION

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 morethick 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.

Backsplash Atleast2"

The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2" x 4"
wall stud.

To find the location of the studs, one ofthe 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 ELECTRICALGROUNDINGiNSTRUCTiONS 4 HOODEXHAUSTDUCT

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 instaited and
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and

local codes and ordinances. Inthe 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.

ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTS

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 AN EXTENSION CORD. If the power supply
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman

install an outlet near the appliance.

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.

NOTE:

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.

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:

EXHAUSTCONNECTION: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.

REAREXHAUST: 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 wail 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 31/4" 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.

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. See Figure 16. 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 walt 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.

4.

Align the Mounting Plate carefully and hold in position
while tightening Toggle Bolts. Pull Toggle Bolt toward
