NOTE: The ductwork you need for outside ventilation is not included with your oven. The standard
ductwork fittings and length are shown in Figure 10, page 9.
THIS OVEN MUST BE PROPERLY VENTED!
You may vent your oven in one of three ways. However, do NOT vent into a wall cavity, an attic,
or an unused area.
Roof-venting If your oven is located on an outside wall near the roof, as in Figures 7 (31/4" x
10" duct) and 9 (6" round duct.)
Wall-venting If your oven is located on an outside wall of your house, as in Figure 6 (31/4" x 10"
duct) and Figure 9 (6" round duct.)
Room-venting If your oven is located on an inside wall of your house, as in Figure 8.
NOTE: If you choose the rear exhaust method (roof-or wall-venting), be sure there is enough clearance
within the wall for the exhaust duct.
REMEMBER AS YOU INSTALL THE
VENTING:
• Keep the length of the ductwork and the
number of elbows to a minimum to
ventilate your oven efficiently.
See examples on page 9.
• Keep the size of the ductwork the same.
• Do not install two elbows together.
• Use duct tape to seal all joints in the duct
system.
• Use caulking to seal the exterior wall or
roof opening around the cap.

STANDARD FITTINGS
NOTE: If the existing duct is round, you must use a rectangular-to-round adapter, with a rectangular 3"
extension duct installed between the damper assembly and the adapter to prevent the exhaust
damper’s sticking.
DUCT LENGTH
The total length of the duct system, including straight duct, elbows, transitions, and wall or roof caps must
not exceed the equivalent of 140 feet.
For best performance, do not use more than three 90 degree elbows.
Below are the standard fittings and their equivalent length in feet.
To calculate the equivalent length of each ductpiece used, see the examples below.

BEFORE YOU START
1. Remove any shipping materials and parts from inside
the microwave oven.
2. Cover the counter top or cooktop with a thick, protective
covering to protect it from damage and dirt.
See Figure 17.
NOTE: If you have a free-standing range, disconnect it,
move it onto a piece of cardboard or hardboard
and pull it away from the wall, so that you can
get closer to the upper cabinet and back wall for
easier measuring and drilling. Be careful not to
pinch or damage the cord when you push the
range back.
MEASURE AND TACK / TAPE UP THE
TEMPLATES
1. Using a plumb line and (metal) measuring tape, find and
mark the vertical center line on the back wall, as
in Figure 18.
2. Find and mark one or two points where the studs are on
the wall. (Studs are normally 16 inches apart)
Then measure and mark the stud locations within the
mounting plate area on the wall.
If you cannot find any wall stud, consult a local building
contractor.
CAUTION
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE MICROWAVE
OVEN IF YOU CANNOT FIND A WALL STUD.
NOTE: Be sure the minimum width is 22 inches and the
distance from the top of the microwave oven to
the cooking surface is at least 30 inches. See
Figure 4 on page 4.
3. Securely tape or tack the upper cabinet template to the
upper cabinet. See Figure 22.
NOTE: If the cabinets are not plumb, adjust the
mounting plate position to the cabinets.
Remember, the oven must hang level.
If the front edge of the cabinet is lower than the
back edge, adjust the mounting plate position to
be level with the cabinet front.
4. Using the mounting plate, mark the position for attaching
it on the wall with pencil. If you want wall vented
installation, mark the position of ventillation rectacgular
hole(10
3
/4”X4”) on the wall too. See Figure 19.
5. Measure the bottom of the upper cabinet frame. Trim the
edges power supply cord hole on the upper cabinet
template so that the template will fit on the bottom of the
upper cabinet. If upper cabinet has a recessed frame,
trim the template so it fits inside the recessed area.
Align the centerline of the upper cabinet template with
the centerline of the wall template, then securely tape or
tack the upper cabinet template in place. See Figure 19.

DRILL THE HOLES IN THE WALL AND UPPER CABINET.
BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DRILLING HOLES INTO THE WALL.
Electrical wires could be concealed behind the wall covering
and if the drill hits them you could get an electric shock.
1. Find the points on the mounting plate labeled A, B, C and D. Drill a 3/16" diameter hole at any points that
are over a wall stud. Drill a 3/4" diameter hole at any points over drywall.
2. Locate the wall stud closest to the center of hole on the mounting plate. Drill 3/16" holes into the wall stud
in each of the areas. If a wall stud is not located within these areas, drill 3/4" diameter holes nearest to the
center of the areas as possible.
If there is not a wall stud within the holed areas or behind points marked A, B, C, and D, DO NOT
install microwave oven. (Consult building inspector.) There must be at least one stud in those
areas.
3. Cut or drill a 2" diameter hole at the marked area, power supply cord hole(M) on the upper cabinet
template. If the upper cabinet is metal, you will need to cover the edge of the hole with the power supply
cord bushing (not included) to prevent damage to the cord from the rough metal edge.
YOU MUST COVER THE EDGE OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD HOLE
IN A METAL CABINET WITH THE
POWER SUPPLY CORD BUSHING.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT
IN DAMAGE TO THE CORD AND
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
4. Cut out the venting areas (with the saber saw):
• ROOF-VENTED: cut out the shaded area marked E on
the upper cabinet template.
• WALL-VENTED: cut out the marked area on the wall.
See Figure 19.
• ROOM-VENTED: Need not to make any rectacgular hole
(for ventilation) on the upper cabinet and wall, but prepare
charcoal filter (not included).
5. Complete whichever venting system you have chosen.
Use caulking compound to seal the exterior wall or roof
opening around the wall cap or roof cap.
STEP 4: PREPARE THE WALL AND
UPPER CABINET FOR INSTALLATION

2. If you have drywall, Prepare the toggle bolts
(not included) by putting the bolts through
the corner holes and attaching a spring toggle
head to the end of each toggle bolt as shown in
Figure 23.
3. Place the mounting plate against the wall and
match the screw holes. See Figure 23.
NOTE: Be sure to leave at least one wall-
thickness of space between the head of
the toggle bolt
and the spring toggle head so that the
spring toggle can open on the inside of
the wall,
as shown in Figure 25.
You may have to pull out slightly on the
bracket to put tension on the toggles.
4. Locate the stud holes (3/16") and insert the lag
screws through the mounting plate and into the
holes.
See Figure 26.

tapping screws (bright-colored) to attach duct
connector to the microwave oven.
See Figure 28, 29.
NOTE: Duct connector must be attached to
microwave oven after microwave oven is
installed.
4. ROOF VENTED INSTALLATION: Install ductwork
through the vent opening in the upper cabinet.
Complete the venting system through the roof
according to the method needed. See Figure 30.
See PREPARE THE VENTING SYSTEM,
STEP 2 on the page 8. Use caulking to seal the
exterior roof opening around the exhaust cap.
See Figure 6 on page 8.
5. Use the power supply cord clamp to bundle the
power supply cord. Install the power supply cord
clamp, using a screw as shown in Figure 30, to
inside of the cabinet.
6. Grasp filter screen with one hand holding the ring
and the other hand holding the opposite end. Insert
the end of the filter screen without ring into the
opening and slide towards the side of the
microwave oven. Insert ring end of filter screen into
the opening and slide entire screen towards the
other side of the microwave until screen is securely
