Location Requirements
The microwave oven may be installed over a built-in oven. If installing
over a built-in oven, make sure there is a minimum of 3” (7.6 cm)
between the top of the lower oven cutout and the microwave oven
cutout oor.
The microwave oven may also be installed in a cabinet by itself
(without a built-in oven below). For best usability, we recommend a
minimum distance of 36” (91.4 cm) from the oor to the cutout oor.
Make sure the surrounding cabinetry has clearance to open and
close freely. Allow a clearance of at least 1 9/16“ (4.0cm) below the
cutout oor (3” [7.6 cm] for installation above a built-in oven), and a
clearance of at least 2” (5.1 cm) above the cutout opening.

Installation Instructions
Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, re, or
electrical shock.
Install according to all local governing codes and ordinances.
Required:
A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply with a
fuse or circuit breaker.
Recommended:
A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.
A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven.
Electrical Shock Hazard
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The
microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock. Consult a qualied electrician or serviceman
if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly
grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short,
have a qualied electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the
microwave oven.
