A REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION

Installation of this product is safest and easiest when performed by two people. Before beginning the installation, please read the following requirements to make sure you have everything you need to safely install this product.

1. SUPPLY CIRCUIT AND GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

This oven must be plugged into a 15 AMP or 20 AMP, 120 volt, 60 Hz, 3 prong grounded outlet. The outlet must be connected to a separate 15 AMP or 20 AMP circuit of the proper voltage and frequency. No other appliance should share the circuit. Wire size must conform to the requirements of the National Electric Code or the prevailing local code for this kilowatt rating.

The recommended location for this outlet is inside the cabinet directly above where the oven is going to be installed. This location is desirable because the power supply cord on the product is short. If an outlet is not readily available, one should be installed by a qualified electrician and should conform to the National Electric Code or the prevailing local code.

The installer must perform a ground continuity check on the outlet box to ensure that it is properly grounded, and if it does not meet the electrical requirements of the product a qualified electrician should be employed to correct any deficiencies.

Proper installation of this product requires that the product be partially supported by the bottom surface of the cabinet directly above the mounting location. Therefore reinforcing this bottom might be necessary if the cabinet cannot support the weight requirement mentioned above.

3. MOUNTING SPACE REQUIREMENT

Kitchen cabinet depth must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) and not over 13" (33 cm).

A minimum width of 30" (76 cm) is required on a flat, vertical wall for installation of this product.
