AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED!

1. Locate the grounded electric outlet for this oven in the cabinet
above the oven, as shown in Figure 5.

NOTE: The outlet should be on a circuit dedicated to the

microwave oven (120V, 60Hz., AC only) with a
15 or 20A fused electrical supply.

IMPORTANT: If you do not have the proper wall outlet, you

MUST have one installed by a qualified
electrician.

2. Attach the upper cabinet template to the upper cabinet wall
with clear type and cut the power-supply-cord hole (shown in
Figure 5) later when you prepare the wall and upper cabinet in
Step 4.

NOTE: Do not use an extension cord.

Keep the power cord dry and do not pinch or crush it.

Improper grounding could result in

electric shock or other personal injury.

• DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY

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.
