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 ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTS),a qualified electrician
should be employed to correct any deficiencies.
WARNING:
Riskof Electric Shock.
Can cause injury or death:
Remove house fuse or
open circuit breaker before
beginning installation to avoid
severe or fatal shock injury.

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 15to 20 ampere
branch circuit single grounded outlet. The outlet box
should be located in the cabinet above the oven and away
from any potential microwave oven 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.

Installation Instructions
NOTE:If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct
length of 3VJ' x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct
should not exceed 140 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 freely and
nothing is blocking the ducts.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
a standard 3½" 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.

Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of
3½" 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. Thechart below shows

NOTES:
• The space between the cabinets must be 30" wide
and free of obstructions.
• If the space between the cabinets is greater than
30", 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
36" 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 top cabinet template for power cord
clearance.
• Maximum cabinet depth above and beside the unit
is 13".
• Formodels with top venting holes: Do not allow
cabinetry or other objects to block the airflow of the
vent.
• The product should not be installed over any
cooktop or range with a combined BTUgreater
than 60000 BTU.

THE CARTON/REMOVING
THE MOUNTING PLATE
%
Remove the box containing the installation
instructions, filters, exhaust adaptor, damper
and the small hardware bag. Do not remove
the Styrofoam protecting the front of the oven.
[]
Fold back all 4carton flaps fully against carton sides.
Then carefully roll the oven and carton over onto
the top side. The oven should be resting in the
Styrofoam.
%
Pullthe carton up and off the oven.
The mounting plate is attached to the back of the
oven. Remove the two screws holding it to the oven.
The plate will be used as the rear wall template and
for mounting the oven to the wall.
%
Setthe oven upright. Remove and properly discard
plastic bags and Styrofoam.
FINDING THE WALL STUDS
Center_
[_ Find the studs, using one of the following 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 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 u line down the center of the studs.
IMPORTANT: The microwave oven must be connected to
at least one wall stud.

to install the oven properly and to make it level.
THE OVEN MUSTBE 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.
[_ Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal
l
distance below the cabinet bottom asthe inside depth
of the front overhang.
[_ For this type of installation with front overhang only,
align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not
touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

circles on the wall at holesA, B,Cand D(see illustration
above/actual plate marked with arrows). Four holes
must be used for mounting.
NOTE:Holes C and D are inside area E.If neither C nor D

at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud
to support the weight of the oven.
