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.

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.

IMPORTANT–PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE OR FATAL SHOCK.

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

Insure proper

ground exists

before use

minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

HOOD EXHAUST

NOTE: Read these next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to the outside. If you plan to recirculate the air back into the room, proceed to page 11.

EQUIVALENT LENGTH

Installation Instructions

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total

duct length of 3¼" 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 3¼" 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 3¼" 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.

Installation Instructions

1.PLACEMENT OF THE MOUNTING PLATE

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.

3.Pull the carton up and off the oven.

4.Remove and properly discard plastic bags.

Screws

Mounting Plate

Screws

Carton

1.Find the studs, using one of the following

methods: A. Stud finder–a magnetic device which locates

nails.

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.

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.

Installation Instructions

DETERMINING WALL PLATE LOCATION UNDER YOUR CABINET

Plate position – beneath flat bottom cabinet

16-1/2"

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of

″

the 30

″ wide space.

Tape the Rear Wall Template onto the wall matching the centerline and touching the bottom of the cabinet.

Plate position – beneath framed recessed cabinet bottom

33″ to Cooktop

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the

″ space.

30 Tape the Rear Wall Template onto the wall

matching the centerline and touching the bottom cabinet frame.

Plate position – beneath recessed bottom cabinet with front overhang

Draw a line on the back wall equal to the

depth of the front overhang.

33" to Cooktop

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.

Installation Instructions

ALIGNING THE WALL PLATE

Hole A

Horizontal Line

CAUTION: Wear gloves to avoid cutting fingers on sharp edges.

Area E

Centerline notches

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 Vertical Line on Wall from Center of Top Cabinet

Hole B

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.

2. INSTALLATION TYPES (Choose A, B or C)

This microwave oven is designed for adaptation to the following three types of ventilation:

A. Recirculating (Non-Vented Ductless) B. Outside Top Exhaust (Vertical Duct) C. Outside Back Exhaust (Horizontal Duct)

RECIRCULATING

(NON-VENTED DUCTLESS)

See page 12

NOTE: This microwave is shipped assembled for “Recirculating”. And exhaust adaptor is shipped after being assembled to the filler-upper. Select the type of ventilation required for your installation and proceed to that section.
