Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A quQlified electrician must perform a ground continuity
check on the wall receptacle before beginning the
installQtion to ensure thQt the outlet box is properly
grounded. If not properly grounded, or if the wall
receptacle does not meet electrical requirements noted
(under ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTS),a quQlified electriciQn
should be employed to correct any deficiencies.
Illir WARNING:
i Riskof Electric Shock.
Can cause injurg or death:
Remove house fuse or
open circuit breaker before
beginning installation to avoid
severe or fatal shock injury.
w
-A WARNI NG:RiskofElectricShock.
Can cause injury or death: THIS APPLIANCEMUSTBE
PROPERLYGROUNDEDto 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 possibilitg
of electric shock hazard

Codeor the prevailing local codefor this kilowatt rating.
The power supply cord and plug should be brought to a
separate 15to 20ampere branch circuit single grounded
outlet.The outlet box should be located in the cabinet
abovethe oven.Theoutlet box and supply circuit should
be installed by a qualified electrician and conform to
the National ElectricalCodeor the prevailing localcode.
CAUTION: For personal safetg,
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: Forpersonalsafety,this
product cannot be installed in cabinet arrangements such
asan island or a peninsula. It must be mounted to BOTH
a top cabinet AND a wall.
-A CAUTION:Toavoidtheriskofpersonal
injurg (back injurg or other injuries due to excessive
weight of the microwave oven)or property damage,
you will need two people to install this microwave oven.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it must be replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall receptacle, installed
by a qualified electrician.
-& WARNING: RiskofElectricShock.
Can cause injurg or death: DO NOT,under ang
circumstances, cut, deform or remove ang of the prongs

Installation Instructions
NOTE:If gou need to install ducts, note that the total duct
length of 5W' x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct
should not e×ceed 120 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOODEXHAUSTDUCT.
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 freelg
and nothing is blocking the ducts.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
a standard 5V_"x 10" rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition Adapter must be used. Do not use less
than a 6" diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length
of 3V_"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 phgsical size.When calculating the total duct
length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and
adapters plus the length of all straight duct sections.
The chart below shows gou how to calculate total
equivalent ductwork length using the approximate
feet of equivalent length of some tgpical ducts.

NOTES:
• The space between the cabinets must be ]0" wide
and free of obstructions.
• If the space between the cabinets is greater
than ]0", a Filler Panel Kit may be used to fill
in the gap between the oven and the cabinets.
Your Owner's Manual contains the kit number
for your model.
This oven is for installation over ranges up to
]6" wide.
If you are going to vent your oven to the outside,
see Hood Exhaust Section for exhaust duct
preparation.
• When installing the oven beneath smooth, flat
cabinets, be careful to follow the instructions
on the upper cabinet template for power cord
clearance.
• Maximum cabinet depth above and beside
the unit is 1]".
• For models with top venting holes: Do not allow

I i
Wall
Studs
i
[] Find the studs, using one of the following
methods:
A. Stud finder - a magnetic device which
locates nails.
OR
B. Usea 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 !6" or 24" from this mark.
[_ Draw a line down the center of the studs.
IMPORTANT:The microwave oven must be connected
to at least one wall stud.
[_ Remove the 2 screws from the mounting plate. This
plate will be used as the rear wall template and for
mounting. You may discard these screws.
