Installation Instructions
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
This product requires a three-prong groronled outlet.
The installer must perflmu a ground continuit) check
on the power outlet box befl_re beginning the
installation to insm'e that the outlet box is properly
grotmded. If not properly grotmded, or if the outlet
box does not meet electrical requirements noted
(rolder E1,ECTRICAI_ REQLIIREMENTS), a qualified
electrician should be employed to correct any
deficiencies.
CAUTION: For persona]
safety, remove house fuse
or open circuit breaker
before beg_g
iusmllation to avoid severe
or fatal shock injury.
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.
NOTE: For easier installation and personal safety, it is
recommended that two people install this product.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR
PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE OR
FATAL SHOCK,
You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to mane sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is very important to have it replaced
with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle,
installed by a qualified electriciaJa.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,
DI_'ORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS
FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH
AN EXTENSION CORD.
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps and
1.58 kilowatts. This product must be connected to a
supply circuit of the proper voltage and ti'equency,
Wire size must conflwm to the requirements of the
National Electrical Code or the pre\zdling local
code ti_r this kilowatt rating. The power supply
cord and plug shoMd be brought to a separate
15- to 20- ampere branch circuit single grounded
outlet, The outlet box should be located in the
cabinet above the microwave oven. The outlet box
and supply circuit should be installed by a qualified
electrician and con%tin to the National Electrical
Code or the pre\_dling local code.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
tKree-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with a
standard three-prong
(grounding) wall receptacle
to minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard
from tiffs appliance.

Installation Instructions
NOTE: If wm need to install ducts, note that the total
duct length of 3¼" x ] O" rectangular or 6" 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 ensm'es clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, make sure dmnpers swing freely and
nothing is blocking the ducts.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
a standard 3Vt" x 10" rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangula_to-rotmd
transition adaptor inust be used. Do not use less than
a 6" diameter duct.
