iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
This product requires a three-i)rong grounded outlet.
Tile installer must perform a ground contimfitv check
oil the power outlet box before beginning tile
installation to insure that the outlet box is properly
grounded. If not properly gromlded, or if tile outlet
box does not meet electrical requirements noted
(under EI,ECTRICAI, REQLIIREMENTS), a qualified
electrician should be employed to correct any
deficiencies.
CAUTION:

CAUTION: ForpersonalsafeS,themounting
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
ca_mot be installed in cabinet arrangements such as an
island or a peninsula. It must be mounted to BOTH
a top cabinet AND a waJL
NOTE: For easier installation and personal safety, it is
recommended that two people install tlfis product.
IMPORTANT--PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR
PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE OR
FATAL SHOCK.
For personal safety, remove
house fuse or open circuit
breaker before beginning
installation to avoid severe
or fatal shock injury.
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 wa3l receptacle,
installed by a qualified electriciaaa.
DO NOT, UNDFa;t ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,
DI?_'ORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS
FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH
AN EXTENSION CORD.
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
Produrt rating is 120 volts AC, 60 He_z, 14 amps and
1.60 kilowatts. This product must be connected to a
supply drcuit of tile proper voltage and _'equencv.
Wire size must confimn to the requirements of the
National Electrical (?,ode or the l)re\;filing local code
for this kilowatt rating. The power supply cord and
plug should be brought to a separate l 5 to 20 ampere
branch drcuit single grotmded outlet. The outlet box
should be located in the cabinet abo\v the oren. The
outlet box and supply drctfit should be installed by
a qualified electddan and confiwm to the National
Electrical Code or the pre\uiling local code.
Insure proper
ground exists
before use
Tile power cord of this

Installation Instructions
NOTE: If wm need to install ducts, note that the total
duct lengti_ of 3¼" x ] 0" rectangular or 6" diameter
round duct should not exceed 120 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT.
Read the fi_llowing careflfllv:
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 dmnpers 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 rectangula_to-round
transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than
a 6" diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:
For s;Kislhctorv 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 airth,w and are
eqtfiwdent to a section of straight duct which is longer
than their actual physical size, When calculating the
total duct length, add the eqtfiwdent lengths of all
transitions and adaptors plus the length of all straight
duct sections, The chart below shows you how to
calculate total eqtfiwdent ductwork length using the
approximate leer of eqtfiwdent length of some

probing the wall with a small nail to find the
edges of the stud. Then place a mark halt\ray
between the edges, The center of any ac!jacent
studs should be 16" or 24" fl'om this mark.
