I SA ETYI
This product requires a three-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 instalJation to
avoid severe or fatal shock
injury.
IMPORTANT=PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR PERSONAL
SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BEPROPERLY GROUNDED
TO AVOID SEVERE OR FATAL SHOCK.
The power cord of this
appliance is equipped with
a three=prong (grounding)
pJugwhich mates with
a standard three-prong
(grounding) wall receptacle
to minimize the possibility of
ground exists
before use
electric shock hazard from
this appJiance.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz,
" 85042, 85043, 85044, 85046, 85049, 85|43:13.5 arnps
and 1.5 kilowatts.
This product must be connected to a supply circuit of the
proper voltage and frequency. 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 20 ampere branch
circuit single grounded outlet. The outlet box should be
located in the cabinet above the microwave 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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: For personal safety, the mounting surface must
be capable of supporting the cabinet load, in addition to the
added weight of this 59 pound product, plus additional oven
loads of up to 50 pounds or a total weight of 109 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 waft.
NOTE: For easier installation and personal safety, it is
recommendedthat two peopJeinstalJthisproduct.
You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacJe is
properJy grounded.
Where a standard two=prong wall receptacle isencountered,
it is very important to have it repJaced with a properJy
grounded three=prong waft receptacJe, instalJed by a
qualified eJectrician.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT, DEFORM
OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS FROM THE POWER

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct
length of 31/_" 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/_" 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/_''
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.

i STALLATIONS
PLACEMENTOF THE MOUNTING
PLATE
Removing the microwave oven from the
carton!removina the mounting plate
1. Remove the installation instructions, Exhaust adaptor,
filters, glass tray and the small hardware bag. Do not
remove the Styrofoam protecting the front of the oven.
2. Fold back all 4 carton flaps fully against carton sides.
Then carefully roll the oven and carton over onto the
top side. The oven should be resting in the Styrofoam.
Carton
Find the studs, using one of the following methods:
_i Stud finder-amagnetic _e;ice Which locate;
OR
Styrofoam
3.
Pull the carton up and off the oven.
4.
Remove and properly discard plastic bags.

5. Remove the 2 screws from the mounting plate. This
plate will be used as the rear wall template and for
mounting.
NOTE: You will have to reuse two screws in original Ioction
of outcase after removing mounting plate.

2.
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.
3. Draw a line down the center of the studs.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST
ONE WALL STUD.

Determining wall plate location under your cabinet
Plate position - beneath fiat bottom cabinet
1/2"
Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30"
wide space.
Tape the Rear Walt Template onto the wall matching the
centerline and touching the bottom of the cabinet.
Plate position - beneath recessed bottom cabinet with
front overhang
Plate position - beneath framed recessed cabinet bottom
30" to Cooktop
Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the
30" space.
Tape the Rear Wall Template onto the wall
matching the centertine and touching the bottom
cabinet frame.
Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes with
the microwave installation. Remove the decorative trim to
install the microwave properly and to make it level.
Draw a line on the back
wall equal to the depth of
the front overhang•
30" to Cooktop 3.
f
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE LEVEL.
Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a front overhang onlyt with no back
or side frame t install the mounting plate down the same
distance as the front overhang depth. This will keep the
microwave level.
1. Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
2. Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal
distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth
of the front overhang.
For this type of installation with front overhang only,
align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not
touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

CAUTION: Wear gloves to avoid cutting fingers on sharp edges.
1. Draw a Vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30" wide space.
2. Draw a Horizontal line on the wall along the bottom of "Rear Wall Template".
3. Drill 5/8" holes for toggle bolts on 3 locations (Hole A, Hole B, Hole C) but if the location of hole is same as that of
stud, drill a 3/16" hole for wood screw. In other words, toggle bolt can not be used at the location of stud.
NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THiS TIME.
NOTE: Holes A, B and C are inside area E.If none of A, B and C is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E and draw a
forth circle to line up with the stud. It is important to use at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud to support the
weight of the microwave. Set the mounting plate aside.
