Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires a three-prong grounded
outlet. The installer must perfbrm 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.
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, 15 amps, and
1..58 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 kilow-att 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. The outlet box and supply circuit should be
instMled by a qualified electrician mid confbrm to the
National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code.
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 3-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with a
standard three-prong
(grounding) wall receptacle
to minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.

NOTE: Read these next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to the
outside. If yon plan to recirculate the air back into the room, proceed to page 6.

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 140 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.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfiactory air movement, the total duct length of
3¼" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should
not exceed 140 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 sho,a_ you how to calculam
total equivalent ductwork length using the approximam
feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than
a 6" diameter duct.

I-_ FINDING THE WALL STUDS
[] 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 MICROWAVE 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.
