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 ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTS),aqualified electrician should be employed to correct any deficiencies.

WARNING:

Riskof Electric Shock. Can cause injury or death:

Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before

beginning installation to avoid severe or fatal shock injury.

The power cord of this appliance isequipped with a three-prong (grounding)

plug which mates with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle

groond xi s

to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard

from this appliance.

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.

_kWARN ING: RiskofElectricShock.

Can cause injury or death: DONOT, 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.

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.

Wire size must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code

for this kilowatt rating. The power supply cord and plug should be brought to a separate 15to 20 ampere

branch circuit single grounded outlet. The outlet box should be located in the cabinet above the oven and

away from any potential microwave ducting.The outlet box and supply circuit should be installed by a qualified

electrician and conform to the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code.

Installation Instructions

NOTE:If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 3½" x iO" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct

should not exceed 140 equivalent feet. Outside ventilation requires a HOODEXHAUSTDUCT.

Maximum duct length: For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of

3½" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should

not exceed 140 equivalent feet.

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 3½" x 10" rectangular duct.

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 ducts.

If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than

a 6" diameter duct.

Installation Instructions

I-- PLACEMENT OF THE MOUNTING PLATE

REMOVING THE OVEN FROM

THE CARTON/REMOVING THE MOUNTING PLATE

Remove the box containing the installation instructions, filters, exhaust adaptor, damper and the small hardware bag. Do not remove the Styrofoam protecting the front of the oven.

[]

Fold back all 4 carton flaps fully against carton sides. Then carefully roll the oven and carton over onto the top side.The oven should be resting in the Styrofoam.

Styrofoam

Pullthe carton up and off the oven.

The mounting plate is attached to the back of the oven. Remove the two screws holding it to the oven. The plate will be used as the rear wall template and for mounting the oven to the wall.

Setthe oven upright. Remove and properly discard plastic bags and Styrofoam.

FINDING THE WALL STUDS

Cente_

[_ Find the studs, using one of the following methods:

A. Stud finder - a magnetic device which locates nails.

B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting

surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate a stud location.

[_] After locating the stud(s),find the center by probing

the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud. Then place o mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should be 16" or 24"

from this mark.

[_] Draw a line down the center of the studs.

IMPORTANT: The microwave must be connected to at least one wall stud.

Studs

Open the oven door and remove the styrofoam pack from inside the oven. Remove the tape covering the turntable hub.
