Introduction

Your Over-the-Range microwave oven comes complete with an installation instruction kit which contains
the following three pieces of information requir ed to install it.

Important Safety Information

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of the 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.

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding can
result in a risk of electric shock.

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, and either:

1) If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use
only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will

accept the plutg on the appliance. The marked
rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance, or
Do not use an extension cord.

2) If the power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or serviceman install an
outlet near the appliance.

I. This installation instruction
booklet, complete with
diagrams on preparing your
cabinets and microwave oven
for installation.

Electrical Requirements

Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60Hertz, 14.6 amps,
and 1.60 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 Electric Code or the
prevailing local code for this kilowatt rating. The
power supply cord and plug should be brought to
a separate 20ampere branch circuit single grounded
receptacle. The outlet box should be located near
the cord entry point. The outlet box and supply
circuit should be installed by a qualified electrician
and conform to the National Electric Code or the

Power supply cord
a) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or

tripping over a longer cord.

b) Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long cord or extension cord is used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the

electrical rating of the appliance.

2) The extension cord must be a grounding type 3-wire cord, and

3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it

can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally .

This over-the-range oven was designed for use over ranges no wider than 30inches. It may be installed over
both gas and electric cooking equipment.

Mounting Space

Your Over-the-Range microwave oven r equires mounting space on a wall as shown.

1. A minimum of 30” between
wall hung side cabinets is
required for installation. Make
sure the bottom edge of the top
cabinet is at least 66” from the
floor and 30” from the cooking
surface.

2. For easier access to the hood
lamp, the bottom of the
microwave oven should be at
least 2” above the range
backsplash.

3. If you are going to vent your
microwave oven to the outside,
see exhaust duct preparation.

Wall Construction

Your Over-the-Range microwave oven should be mounted against and supported by a flat, vertical wall.
W all construction should be a minimum of 2” x 4” wall studding and 3/8” or mor e, thick drywall or
plaster/lath. The oven must be attached to a minimum of one 2” x 4” wall stud.
For proper
installation the
wall must be
capable of
supporting the
cabinet load plus
a minimum of 135
pounds, (the 85
pound weight of
the microwave
oven and load
weight allowance
of 50 pounds.)
T o find studs, use
one of the
following
methods:

I. Stud finder a
magnetic device
which locates
nails.

II. Using a
hammer , tap
lightly across the
mounting surface
to find a solid
sound. This will
indicate a stud
installation. After
locating the
stud(s), the center
can be found by: Probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud and then placing a mark
half way between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should be 16” or 24” from this mark.

NOTE: Reference wall template for additional assistance.
