iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

This product requires a three-prong grounded
out|et. The installer must perform a ground continuity
check on the power outlet box before beginning the
installation to instue that the out|et 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.

i_1/[ CAUTION: For personal

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.

i or open circuit breaker

w

safety, remove house fuse

before beginning installation
to avoid severe or fatal

shock injury.

You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked

by a qualified electridan to make sure the receptade 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 radng is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps, and

1.70 ldlowatts. This product IllUSt be connected to

a supply circuit of the proper voltage and fiequenc>
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 oven. The
outlet box and supply circuit should be installed by

a qualified electrician and 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 three-prong (grounding)

plug which mates with

a standard three-prong
(grounding) wall receptacle
to minimize the possibility

of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.

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 fbllowing careflflly:
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 blocMng 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 rectangular-to-round

transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than
a 6" diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:

For safisfhctory 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 equNa/ent lengths of all transitions and

adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections.

[] Open top of box and remove Styrofoam pack

containing installation instructions, filters, exhaust
adaptor, damper, and the small hardware bag.

[]Locate cut line at the bottom of the box and

carefully cut along the indicated dotted line.
Then pull the carton up and off the unit.

[]Remove the the front

of the oven. Open the oven door and remove
any contents f}om inside.

[_ Using a portion of the carton or other material

to protect the outer casing flom damage, stand
the oven on its side so the control panel is nearest

to the ground.

]The mounting plate is attached to the back

of the oven. Remove the two screws holding
the plate to the oven. The plate will serve

as the rear wall template and provide the support
to mount the oven to the wall.

]Once the plate has been removed, set the oven

upright. Remove and properly discard the plastic

bags and Styrofbam.

[_ Check that all adhesive has been

removed flom exhaust adapters, grease filters, and
the power supply cord.

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 halfk,vW
between the edges. The center of any adjacent

studs should be 16" or 24 " f]om this mark.

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes
with the oven installation. Remove the decorative trhn

to install the oven properly and to make it level.

THE OVEN MUST BE 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 fiame, install the mounting plate down

the same distance as the front overhang depth. This

will

keep the oven level.

Measme the inside depth of the flont overhang.

Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal

distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside
depth of the fiont overhang.

For this t),pe of installation with fiont overhang only;
align the mounting robs with this horizontal line, not

touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.
