Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 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 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.

Insure proper |
ground existsts |
before use |
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is very important to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong 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 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 14.5 amps (13 amps, CANADA) and 1.65 kilowatts (1.5 kilowatts, CANADA). 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.

A. REMOVING THE MICROWAVE OVEN FROM THE CARTON/ REMOVING 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.

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 location of outcase after removing mounting plate.
B. FINDING THE WALL STUDS
Wall Studs
Center
1. 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.
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.

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.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE LEVEL.
Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with no back or side frame, 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.
3. 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.

1. Draw a Vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30" wide space.
2. Draw a Horizontal line on the wall at 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 to the location of stud.
NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.
Draw a Horizontal line on wall from bottom of “Rear Wall Template”.
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.

3. Place the mounting plate against the wall and insert the toggle wings into the holes on the wall to mount the plate.
NOTE: Before tightening toggle bolts and wood screw, make sure to coincide bottom line of the Mounting plate with Horizontal line of “Rear wall Template” and then the Mounting plate is properly centered under the cabinet.
CAUTION: Be careful to avoid pinching fingers between the back of the mounting plate and the wall.
4. Tighten all bolts. Pull the plate away from the wall to help tighten the bolts.
A2. USE TOP CABINET TEMPLATE FOR PREPARATION OF TOP CABINET
You need to drill holes for the top support screws and a hole large enough for the power cord to fit through.
•Read the instructions on the TOP CABINET TEMPLATE.
•Tape it underneath the top cabinet.
•Drill the holes, following the instructions on the TOP CABINET TEMPLATE.
CAUTION: Wear safety goggles when drilling holes in the cabinet bottom.

Installation Instructions
A3. MOUNT THE MICROWAVE OVEN
FOR EASIER INSTALLATION AND PERSONAL SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND THAT TWO PEOPLE
INSTALL THIS MICROWAVE OVEN.
IMPORTANT: Do not grip or use handle during installation.
NOTE: If your cabinet is metal, use the nylon grommet around the power cord hole to prevent cutting of the cord.
NOTE: We recommend using filler blocks if the cabinet front hangs below the cabinet bottom shelf.
IMPORTANT: If filler blocks are not used, case damage may occur from over tightening screws.
NOTE: When mounting the microwave oven, thread power cord through hole in bottom of top cabinet. Keep it tight throughout Steps 1–3. Do not pinch cord or lift oven by pulling cord.
1. Lift microwave, tilt it
forward, and hook slots at back bottom edge
onto four lower tabs of mounting plate.
2. Rotate front of
oven up against cabinet bottom
3. Insert a self-aligning screw through top left cabinet hole. Temporarily secure the oven by turning the screw at least two full turns after the threads have engaged. (It will be completely tightened later.) Be sure to keep power cord tight. Be careful not to pinch the cord, especially when mounting flush to bottom of cabinet.
