Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Your Safety
• 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°R) generated by the
oven.
,_ CAUTION: The electrical power
are being made. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury or death.
to the oven supply line must be
shut off while line connections
Electrical
Requirements
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 oven
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:
National Fire Protection Association
Battery March Park
Quincy, MA 02269
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 AC
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.

Electrical Connections
Turn off the circuit breaker or remove
fuses to the oven branch circuit.
With the oven in front of the cabinet
opening on a table or platform,
connect the flexible conduit to the
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.

• When installing in a new construction, or
• 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. Re-strip
the neutral (white)
lead to expose the
proper length of
conductor.
b.Attach the appliance
grounding lead (green or
bare copper)in accordance
with local codes. If the

Three-Conductor Branch Circuit Connection
When connecting to a 3-conductor 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
Cover
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.
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.

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 out-
side 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 3/4 the way back into the
opening. Remove the string.
cabinet.
Drilling the Pilot Holes
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.
a. Drill four-I/8" pilot holes through the
mounting holes (top and bottom) of the
side trim, for the four #8 screws provided.
The screws must
be a minimum of
1/4" from the front
edge of the
cutout.
MOUNTING HOLE LOCATIONS
Installing the Bottom Trim
a. Slide the oven 3/4 way
into the cabinet cutout.
b. Attach the bottom trim to
the front frame with the 3
screws provided.
c. Slide the oven all the way
into the cabinet cutout.
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.
NOTE: Mounting screws must be
used. Failure to do so could result in
the oven falling out of the cabinet
causing serious injury.
i
b. Secure the Oven to Cabinet with screws
provided.
NOTE: If the cabinet is particle board, you
must use 4 #8 x 3/4" particle board screws.
These may be purchased at any hardware
store.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:
The power leads supplied with this
appliance are UL recognized for
connections to larger gauge
household wiring. The insulation of
these leads is rated at temperatures
much higher than the temperature
rating of household wiring. The
current carrying capacity of a

gauge and also the temperature rating
of the insulation around the wire.
NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING
A. WARNING:
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF

THE COPPER LEADS CAN
RESULT IN A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
[_ See Use & Care manual for

B. Splice copper wires to aluminum
wiring using special connectors
designed and UL approved for
joining copper to aluminum and
follow the manufacturer's
recommended connector
procedure closely.
NOTE:Wire used, location and
enclosure of splices, etc., must
conform to good wiring practice and
local codes.
