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.
,03257$17³3/($6(5($'&$5()8//<)25
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
Insure proper
ground exists
before use
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.
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.

Installation Instructions
HOOD EXHAUST
NOTE: Read these next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to the
outside. If you plan to recirculate the air back into the room, proceed to page 6.
OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
The following chart describes an example of one possible
ductwork installation.
EQUIVALENT NUMBER EQUIVALENT
DUCT PIECES LENGTH x USED = LENGTH
Roof Cap 24 Ft. x (1) = 24 Ft.
12 Ft. Straight Duct 12 Ft. x (1) = 12 Ft.
(6” Round)
Rectangular-to-Round 5 Ft. x (1) = 5 Ft.
Transition Adaptor*
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and
reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.
Total Length = 41 Ft.
*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.
OUTSIDE BACK EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
The following chart describes an example of one possible
ductwork installation.
EQUIVALENT NUMBER EQUIVALENT
DUCT PIECES LENGTH* x USED = LENGTH
Wall Cap 40 Ft. x (1) = 40 Ft.
3 Ft. Straight Duct 3 Ft. x (1) = 3 Ft.
(3¼” x 10” Rectangular)
90° Elbow 10 Ft. x (2) = 20 Ft.
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and
reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.
Total Length = 63 Ft.
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.
4
Installation Instructions
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct
length of 3¼”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 3¼” 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.
DUCT PIECES LENGTH x USED = LENGTH
Rectangular-to-Round 5 Ft. x ( ) = Ft.
Transition Adaptor*
EQUIVALENT NUMBER EQUIVALENT
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of
3¼” 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.
Wall Cap 40 Ft. x ( ) = Ft.
90° Elbow 10 Ft. x ( ) = Ft.
45° Elbow 5 Ft. x ( ) = Ft.
90° Elbow 25 Ft. x ( ) = Ft.
45° Elbow 5 Ft. x ( ) = Ft.
Roof Cap 24 Ft. x ( ) = Ft.
Straight Duct 6” Round or 1 Ft. x ( ) = Ft.
3¼” x 10” Rectangular
Total Ductwork = Ft.
* 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
.
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests
and reflect requirements for good venting performance with
any vent hood.

Studs
Center
Find the studs, using one of the following
1
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
2
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.
3
Draw a line down the center of the studs.
THE OVEN MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST ONE
WALL STUD.

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.
1
Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal
2
distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth
of the front overhang.
For this type of installation with front overhang only,
3
align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not
touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

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,
3
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: Appearance and
shape of the mounting
plate may vary from your
model.
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.
Hole B
Set the mounting plate aside.
Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3/16” hole
4
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.
