Read
Microwave Oven
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.
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 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.
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.
