these instructions completely and carefully.

• 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 Microwave Oven is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 2.

Open the bottom of the carton, bend the carton flaps back and
tilt the oven over to rest on plastic foam pad. Lift carton off oven
and remove all packing materials, WALL and TOP CABINET
TEMPLATE, Turntable, and Turntable Support. SAVE THE
CARTON AS IT MAY MAKE INSTALLATION EASIER.

1. Remove the feature sticker from the outside of the door, if
there is one.

2. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is
located on the right side wall of the oven cavity. Check to
see that there is a Wall TEMPLATE and Top CABINET
Template. Read enclosures and SAVE the Operation
Manual.

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 ELECTROLUX AUTHORIZED SER­VICER. See Installation Instructions for more details.

Installation Instructions

1 MOUNTING SPACE

This Microwave Oven/Hood requires a mounting space on a
wall as shown in Figure 1. It is designed to be used with stan­dard 12-inch wall cabinets.

If the space between the wall cabinets is 36 or 42 inches, a
Filler Panel Kit can be used to fill the gap. The metal filler pan­els come in 3-inch wide pairs. One set is needed for a 36-inch
opening and 2 sets for a 42-inch opening. The Filler Panel Kit
should be installed before the Microwave Oven/Hood is
installed.

2 WALL CONSTRUCTION

This Microwave Oven/Hood 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 a 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 or two 2" x 3" wall studs.

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.

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.

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.

Installation Instructions

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 3-1/4” 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 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.
