Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A qualified electrician must perform a ground continuity check on the wall receptacle before beginning the installation to ensure that the outlet box is properly grounded. If not properly grounded, or if the wall receptacle does not meet electrical requirements noted (under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualified electrician should be employed to correct any
deficiencies.
WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock. Can cause injury or death: Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation to avoid severe or fatal shock injury.
WARNING Risk of Electric Shock.
Can cause injury or death: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED to avoid severe or fatal shock.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle, installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING Risk of Electric Shock.
Can cause injury or death: DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut, deform or remove any of the prongs from the power cord. Do not use with an extension cord. Failure to comply may cause fire.
CAUTION For personal safety, the mounting surface must be capable of supporting the cabinet load, in addition to the added weight of this 63–85 pound product, plus additional oven loads of up to 50 pounds or a total weight of 113–135 pounds.
CAUTION For personal safety, this product cannot be installed in cabinet arrangements such as an island or a peninsula. It must be mounted to BOTH a top cabinet AND a wall.
CAUTION To avoid the risk of personal injury (back injury or other injuries due to excessive weight of the microwave oven) or property damage, you will need two people to install this microwave oven.
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
120 V Models
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet. Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps, and 1.70 kilowatts. This product must be connected to a supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency.

Installation Instructions
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 31»4s x 10s rectangular or 6s diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT. Read the following carefully:
NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using
the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible. This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and nothing is blocking the ducts.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 31»4s x 10s rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than a 6s diameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 31»4s x 10s rectangular or 6s diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps, etc., present additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct which is longer than their actual physical size. When calculating the total duct length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections. The chart below shows you how to calculate total equivalent ductwork length using the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical duct pieces.

Installation Instructions
1PLACEMENT OF THE MOUNTING PLATE
AREMOVING THE MICROWAVE OVEN FROM THE CARTON/REMOVING THE MOUNTING PLATE
1 Open the box and fold back all four carton flaps fully against the carton sides. Remove the following items from the protective foam: installation instructions, filters, exhaust adaptor, damper, and the small hardware bag. Do not remove the foam protecting the front of the microwave oven.
Then carefully roll the microwave oven and carton
2over onto the top side. The microwave oven should be resting in the foam.
Carton
Foam
3 Pull the carton up and off the microwave oven.
4The mounting plate is attached to the back of the microwave oven. Remove the two screws holding it to the microwave oven. The plate will be used as the rear wall template and for mounting the microwave oven to the wall.
5Set the microwave oven upright. Remove and properly discard plastic bags and foam.
6Open the microwave oven door and remove the plastic sheet and tape from inside the microwave oven door. Remove the tape covering the turntable hub.
B FINDING THE WALL STUDS
Wall
Studs
Center
1Find the studs, using one of the following methods: A. Stud finder.
OR
B.Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate a stud location.
2After locating the stud(s), find the center by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud. Then place a mark halfway between the edges.
The center of any adjacent studs should be 16s or
324s from this mark.
Draw a line down the center of the studs.
IMPORTANT: The microwave must be connected to at least one wall stud.

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes with the microwave oven installation. You may need to remove the decorative trim to install the microwave oven properly and to make it level.
THE MICROWAVE OVEN MUST BE LEVEL.
Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a front overhang, install the mounting plate down the same distance as the front overhang depth. This will keep the microwave oven level.
1 Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
2Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth of the front overhang.
3For this type of installation with front overhang, align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

CAUTION
Wear gloves to avoid cutting fingers on sharp edges.
1Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30s wide space.
2Use the mounting plate as the template for the rear wall. Place the mounting plate on the wall, making sure that the tabs are touching the bottom of
the cabinet or the level line drawn in Step C for cabinets with front overhang. Line up the notch and center line on the mounting plate to the center line on the wall.
3While holding the mounting plate with one hand, draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C, and D (see illustration above/actual plate marked with arrows).
Four holes must be used for mounting.
Hole B
Draw a Vertical Line on Wall from Center of Top Cabinet
Hole D
Notch
NOTE: Holes C and D are inside area E. If neither C nor D is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E and draw a fifth circle to line up with the stud.
It is important to use at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud to support the weight of the microwave oven.
Set the mounting plate aside.
WARNING Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. Take care to not drill into electrical wiring inside walls or cabinets.
4Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3»16s hole for wood screws. For holes that don’t line up with a stud, drill a 5»8s hole for toggle bolts.
NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.
