IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Instructions
This product requires a 4-prong grounded outlet. The
installer must perform 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 70–85 pound
product, plus additional oven loads of up to 50 pounds
or a total weight of 120–135 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.
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 wall outlet receptacle
recommended for this
appliance is NEMA #
14–30R and accepts the
4-prong grounded plug
of this appliance.
Insure proper
ground exists
before use.
NEMA 14–30R
Wall Receptacle
You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 3-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it is very important to have it replaced with a properly
grounded NEMA # 14–30R 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 240/208 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 30 amps
and 6.5 kilowatts. This product must be connected to an
individual properly grounded branch circuit, protected
by circuit breakers or time delay fuses. Wire size must
conform to the requirements of the National Electrical
Code or the prevailing local code for this kilowatt rating.
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 conform to the
National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code.

OUTSIDE BACK EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.
OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.
EQUIVALENT NUMBER EQUIVALENT
DUCT PIECES LENGTH x USED = LENGTH
Roof Cap 24 Ft. x (1) = 24 Ft.
12 Ft. Straight Duct 12 Ft. x (1) = 12 Ft.
(6″ Round)
Rectangular-to-Round 5 Ft. x (1) = 5 Ft.
Transition Adaptor*
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and
reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.
Total Length = 41 Ft.
NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align exhaust with space between studs, or wall should be
prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
*IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have
to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.
EQUIVALENT NUMBER EQUIVALENT
DUCT PIECES LENGTH* x USED = LENGTH
Wall Cap 40 Ft. x (1) = 40 Ft.
3 Ft. Straight Duct 3 Ft. x (1) = 3 Ft.

90° Elbow 10 Ft. x (2) = 20 Ft.
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and

Total Length = 63 Ft.
Installation Instructions
HOOD EXHAUST
NOTE: Read these next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to the outside. If you plan to recirculate the air back into
the room, proceed to page 6.
5
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct
length of 31⁄4″ 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 31⁄4″ 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
31⁄4″ 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
shows you how to calculate total equivalent ductwork length
using the approximate feet of equivalent length of some
typical ducts.
EQUIVALENT NUMBER EQUIVALENT
DUCT PIECES LENGTH x USED = LENGTH
Rectangular-to-Round 5 Ft. x ( ) = Ft.

Wall Cap 40 Ft. x ( ) = Ft.
90° Elbow 10 Ft. x ( ) = Ft.

Installation Instructions
REMOVING THE OVEN FROM
THE CARTON/REMOVING THE
MOUNTING PLATE
Remove the box containing the installation
instructions, filters, exhaust adaptor and the
small hardware bag.
Stand the oven on its control panel side. Use a portion
of the carton or some other material to protect the
outer case from being damaged.
The mounting plate is attached to the back of the
oven. Remove the 2 screws holding it to the oven.
The plate will be used as the rear wall template and
for mounting the oven to the wall.
Set the oven upright. Remove and properly discard
plastic bags and Styrofoam. Remove any adhesive tape
(if there is any) on the exhaust adaptor, the grease
filters and the power supply cord.
Open the oven door and remove any accessories
from inside the oven.

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 OVEN MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST
ONE WALL STUD.
