IMPORTANT–Please Read and Follow!

• Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Built-In Microwave Hood. 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 Built-In Microwave Hood is installed. See ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 3.

Unpacking and Examining Your Oven

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 Templates, Turntable and Turntable Support. SAVE THE CARTON AS IT MAY MAKE INSTALLATION EASIER.

• Remove the feature sticker from the outside of the door,

if there is one.

• 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 Use and Care 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 AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

1. Mounting Space

This Built-In Microwave Hood requires a mounting space on a wall as shown in Figure 1.

If the space between the wall cabinets is greater than 30-inches (36-inches or 42-inches) a Filler Panel may be used to ﬁll the gap between the Built-In Microwave Hood and wall cabinets. The Filler Panel Kit should be installed before the Built-In Microwave Hood is installed.

For proper installation and servicing, a 2-inch space is necessary between the top of the range backsplash and the bottom of the Built-In Microwave Hood.

2. Wall Construction

This Built-In Microwave 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 The mounting surfaces must be capable of supporting a weight of 110 pounds—the oven and contents—AND the weight of all items that 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.

To ﬁnd the location of the studs, one of the following methods may be used:

• Use a stud ﬁnder, a magnetic device which locates the

nails in the stud.

• 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.

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.

NOTE: In the event that the unit will be unable to be supported by any stud, it will be necessary to use special care in the placement of the toggle bolts and top cabinet screws. See Wall Template for details. The top cabinet should be tested to ensure it is securely attached to the wall. Place extra weight up to 110 pounds inside the top cabinet to test the support.

NOTE:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualiﬁed electrician or serviceperson.

2. Neither Fulgor Milano 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.

Installation Guide

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 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 diameter round duct should not exceed 140 feet.

Elbows, adapters, wall, 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 4 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.

STEP 3 - TIGHTENING THE SCREWS

To attach the mounting plate to the wall using the toggle bolt assemblies and/or lag screws:

• Insert toggle bolts through mounting plate at required locations and add the spring loaded toggles. See Figure 19.

Be sure you leave space at least the thickness of the wall

between the mounting plate and the end of the toggle nut, (in closed position). If you do not leave this space, the toggle nut will not open on the other side of the wall.
