minimum clearance. Locate electrical outlet in
the shaded area in the upper left-hand corner
of the cutout. See Figure 4.

by itself or under a gas, under an electric wall
oven, or under selected cook top models. See
use and care manual for list of models.
• Be sure that the clearance of the floor between
the wall oven and the drawer microwave is a
minimum of 2-inches.
• The microwave interior will easily accommodate
a 9” x 13” oblong dish or a bag of microwave
popcorn.

ANTI-TIP BLOCK
NORMAL INSTALLATION STEPS
Anti -Tip BLOCK Installation Instructions
To reduce the risk of tipping of the drawer, the
Anti-Tip block must be properly installed located 14
13/16-inches above the floor on which the Drawer
Microwave will sit. The anti-tip block must be provided
and pre-installed by the purchaser of the product or
builder before install can be done. The anti-tip block
is not provided by installer. See Figures 1 and 2.
The Anti-Tip block
prevents serious
injury that might
result from spilled
hot liquids.
If the Drawer
Microwave is ever
moved to a different
location, the Anti-Tip
block must also be
moved and installed.
When installed to the wall, make sure that the screws
completely penetrate the dry wall and are secured in
wood or metal so that the block is totally stable. When
fastening, be sure that the screws do not penetrate
electrical wiring or plumbing.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. This appliance is equipped with
a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
WARNING
Improper use of the
grounding plug can
result in a risk of
electric shock.
Do not use an
extension cord. If
the power supply
cord is too short,
have a qualified
electrician or
serviceman install
an outlet near the
appliance.
