• Be sure your oven is installed properly by a qualified
installer or service technician.
• Be sure the oven is securely installed in a cabinet that is
firmly attached to the house structure. Weight on the oven
door could cause the oven to tip and result in injury. Never
allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the oven door.
• Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the
oven can withstand the temperatures (up to 200°F.)
generated by the oven.
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and
frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded
branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse, having
amperage as noted on rating plate. (Rating Plate is located on
the wall inside the microwave oven.)
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of
your oven connected by a qualified electrician. After
installation, have the electrician show you where your main
range disconnect is located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply
in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to governing
codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are not
local codes, your range must be wired and fused to meet the
requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70-Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code
requires that new, but not existing, construction utilize a 4
conductor connection to an electric range. When installing an
electric range in new construction, follow the instructions in
NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR CONDUCTOR
BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or
240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to
aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for
use with aluminum wiring must be used.

inside microwave,
behind hinges, and
under false bottom.
Remove labels on
door, plastic on trims
and panel, and all
tape around oven.
Open oven door and
2
remove literature
prepack, broiler pan
and grid, and oven
racks. Open
microwave door and
remove shelves and
turntable package.
Remove Installation Instruction
3
from literature prepack and read
them carefully before you begin.
Be sure to place all literature, Use
and Care, Installations, etc. in a
safe place for future reference.

CAUTION: When the door is
removed and the hinge arms are at
the stop postion, DO NOT bump
or try to move the hinge arms.
The hinges could snap back causing an
injury to the hands. Cover the hinges with
toweling or empty towel rolls while
working in the oven area.
Cover hinge with paper
towel rolls or toweling.
Open the oven door to the stop
4
position.
DO NOT LIFT THE
DOOR BY THE HANDLE!
Grasp the door on both sides and lift up and off the
5
hinges.
NOTE:The oven door is very heavy. Be sure you have a
firm grip before lifting the oven door off the hinges. Use
caution once the door is removed. Do not lay the door on
its handle, this could cause dents or scratches
Place the oven on a table or
7
platform even with the cutout
opening. (Platform must support
225 lbs. )
Remove the bottom trim from the top of the oven. It
8
will be installed at the end of installation. The trim is
wrapped separately and taped to the top of the unit.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Turn off the circuit breaker or remove fuses to the
9
oven branch circuit.
With the oven in front of the cabinet opening, on a
table or platform, connect the flexible conduit to the
10
electrical junction box as shown below. You will
need to purchase a strain relief clamp to complete
the connection of the conduit to the junction box.
c. Connect the oven neutral (white) lead to the branch
circuit neutral (white or gray) in accordance with
local codes.
d. Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red
lead and the oven black lead to the branch circuit
black lead in accordance with local codes. If the
residence red, black or white leads are aluminum
conductors, see “ WARNING” note.
e. Install the Junctio Box Cover.

THREE-CONDUCTOR BRANCH
CIRCUIT CONNECTION
NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-
CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT
CONNECTION
• When installing in a new construction, or
11
• When installing oven in a mobile home, or
• When local codes do not permit grounding through
neutral:
a. Cut the neutral (White)
lead from the crimp. Restrip the neutral (white)
lead to expose the proper
length of conductor.
11
Do not shorten this flexible conduit. The conduit strain
relief clamp must be securely attached to the junction
box and the flexible conduit must be securely attached to
the clamp. If the flexible conduit will not fit within the
clamp, do not install the oven until a clamp of the proper
size is obtained.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The 3 power leads supplied with
this appliance are UL recognized for connection to larger
gauge household wiring. The insulation of these 3 leads is
rated at temperatures much higher than the temperature rating
of household wiring. The current carrying capacity of the
conductor is governed by the temperature rating of the
insulation around the wire, rather than the wire gauge alone.
When connecting to a 3conductor branch circuit, if
local codes permit:
a. Connect the bare oven
ground conductor with the
crimped neutral (white)
lead to the branch circuit
neutral (white or gray in
color).
b. The oven red lead to the
branch circuit red lead.
c. The oven black lead to the
branch circuit black lead
in accordance with local
codes.
d. Install Junction Box
Cover.
Junction Box

b. Attach the appliance grounding
lead (green or bare copper) in
accordance with local codes. If
the residence grounding
conductor is aluminum, see
WARNING note.
Junction Box
Cover
WARNING: Improper connection of
aluminum house wiring to copper leads can
result in an electrical hazard or fire. Use
only connectors designed for joining copper to
aluminum and follow the manufacturer’s
recommended procedure closely.

SECURING THE OVEN
IN OPENING
With the Conduit connected, the oven is ready to be
12
slid into the cutout opening.
a. Loop a 36” string
around the
conduit before the
oven is slid into
place. This will
keep the conduit
from falling
behind the oven.
b. Lift oven into
cabinet cutout
using the oven
opening as an
grip. Carefully
push against oven
front frame. Do
not push against
outside edges.
c. As the oven is slid
back, pull the string so that the conduit will lie behind
the oven in a natural loop.
d. When you are sure the conduit is out of the way, slide
the oven all the way back into the opening, remove the
string.
Drill four-1/8” pilot holes through the mounting
holes (top and bottom) of the side trim, for the four
13
#8 screws provided.
The screws must be a
minimum of 1/4” from
the front of the cutout.
NOTE: Mounting screws must be used. Failure to
do so could result in the oven falling out of the
cabinet causing serious injury.
NOTE: Before drilling the pilot holes, make sure
the oven is pushed as far back into the opening as it
will go and that it is centered.
Secure the Oven to Cabinet with screws provided.

INSTALLING THE BOTTOM TRIM
REPLACING THE OVEN DOOR
Make sure the flat
side is up on the
15
bottom trim.
16
Lower trim mounting rivet
on bottom of side trim
Find the Key Slot
on the back of the
trim.
17
Key hole slot and wide
flange at top
Match the key slot with
the rivet on the bottom
of the side trim
Make sure the hinge is in the door stop position.
19
Remove the toweling or
20
paper towel holder from
the hinge.
Grasp the door on both
21
sides.
Hold the door over the
hinges aligning the
22
hinges with the hinge
slots on the bottom of the
door.
Slide the door down onto
23
the hinges as far as it will
go.
Close the door.
24
The oven door is heavy. You may need help lifting
the door high enough to slide it down onto the
hinges. Do not lift the door by the handle.
Push the trim down
18
until it snaps into
place.
Push trim down at both
ends until it snaps into
place.
CAUTION: Be sure you do not tip the
oven foward during installation or you
may bend the Bottom Trim. The Bottom
Trim provides an opening for cooling air
to enter the cabinet. This opening should never be
blocked.
