Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

A qualified electrician must perform a ground continuity check on the wall receptacle before beginning the installation to ensure that the outlet box is properly grounded. If not properly grounded, or if the wall receptacle does not meet electrical requirements noted (under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualified electrician should be employed to correct any deficiencies.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

120 V Models

This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet. Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps, and 1.70 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 microwave oven and away from any potential microwave ducting. 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.

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 31ø4s x 10s rectangular or 6s diameter round duct

VKRXOG QRW H[FHHG HTXLYDOHQW IHHW

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. $OVR PDNH VXUH GDPSHUV VZLQJ IUHHO\ DQG

QRWKLQJ LV EORFNLQJ WKH GXFWV

Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 31ø4s x 10s rectangular duct.

If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than a 6s diameter duct.

0D[LPXP GXFW OHQJWK

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 31ø4s x 10s rectangular or 6s diameter round duct should

QRW H[FHHG HTXLYDOHQW IHHW

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 duct pieces.

REMOVING THE MOUNTING PLATE

1Open the box and fold back all four carton flaps fully against the carton sides. Remove the following items from the protective foam: installation instructions, filters, exhaust adaptor, damper, and the small hardware bag. Do not remove the foam protecting the front of the microwave oven.

Then carefully roll the microwave oven and carton

2over onto the top side. The microwave oven should be resting in the foam.

3Pull the carton up and off the microwave oven.

4The mounting plate is attached to the back of the microwave oven. Remove the two screws holding it to the microwave oven. The plate will be used as the rear wall template and for mounting the microwave oven to the wall.

5Set the microwave oven upright. Remove and properly discard plastic bags and foam.

1Find the studs, using one of the following methods: A. Stud finder.

OR

B.Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate

a stud location.

2After 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 16s or 24s from this mark.

3 Draw a line down the center of the studs.

IMPORTANT: The microwave must be connected to at least one wall stud.

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes with the microwave oven installation. You may need to remove the decorative trim to install the microwave oven properly and to make it level.

THE MICROWAVE OVEN MUST BE LEVEL.

Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.

If the cabinets have a front overhang, install the mounting plate down the same distance as the front overhang depth. This will keep the microwave oven level.

1Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.

2Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth

of the front overhang.

3 For this type of installation with front overhang, align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.
