Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.
The installer must perform a ground continuity check
on the power outlet box before beginning the
installation to insure that the outlet box is properly
grounded. If not properly grounded, or if the outlet
box does not meet electrical requirements noted
(under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualified
electrician should be employed to correct any
deficiencies.
CAUTION:
For personal safety, remove
house fuse or open circuit
breaker before beginning
installation 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.
The power cord of this
appliance is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with
a standard three-prong
(grounding) wall receptacle
to minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make 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 electrician.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,
DEFORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS
FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH
AN EXTENSION CORD.
3
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 14 amps and
1.60 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 15 to 20 ampere
branch circuit single grounded outlet. The outlet box
should be located in the cabinet above the oven. 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.
Insure proper
ground exists
before use

OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align exhaust with space between studs, or wall should be prepared
at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
*IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will
have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.

.
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total
duct length of 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular or 6″ diameter
round duct should not exceed 120 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 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than
a 6″ diameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of
31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular or 6″ diameter round duct should
not exceed 120 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 ducts.

Find the studs, using one of the following
methods:
A. Stud finder – a magnetic device which
locates nails.
OR
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 a 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.
THE OVEN MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST
ONE WALL STUD.

Remove the turntable, installation instructions,
filters, exhaust adaptor, damper, shelf and the

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.

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes
with the oven installation. Remove the decorative trim
to install the oven properly and to make it level.
THE OVEN MUST BE LEVEL.
Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with no
back or side frame, install the mounting plate down
the same distance as the front overhang depth. This
will keep the oven level.
Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal
distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside
depth of the front overhang.
For this type of installation with front overhang only,
align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not
touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

ALIGNING THE WALL PLATE
Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30″
wide space.
Use 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.
While 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.
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 oven.
Set the mounting plate aside.
Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3⁄16″
hole for wood screws. For holes that don’t line up with
a stud, drill a 5⁄8″ hole for toggle bolts.
NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE
AT THIS TIME.

NOTE: This oven is shipped assembled for Outside Top
Exhaust (except for non-vented models). Select the type
of ventilation required for your installation and proceed
to that section.

On models shipped for
non-vented exhaust, a
disposable charcoal filter is
included with the oven and
needs to be installed to help
remove smoke and odors.

NOTE: We recommend using filler blocks if the
cabinet front hangs below the cabinet bottom shelf.
IMPORTANT: If filler blocks are not
used, case damage may occur from over
tightening screws.
NOTE: When mounting the
oven, thread power cord
through hole in bottom
