General information

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 ensure 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 qualied electrician should be employed to correct any deciencies.

CAUTION

For personal safety, remove the house fuse or open the circuit breaker before beginning the 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 69 pound product, plus additional oven loads of up to 50 pounds or a total weight of 119 pounds.

• For personal safety, do not install this product in cabinetry congured as an island or a peninsula. The microwave oven must be mounted to BOTH a top cabinet AND a wall.

NOTE

For easier installation and personal safety, we recommend that two people install this product.

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.

Insure proper ground exists before use.

You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualied electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded. If you have a standard two-prong wall receptacle, it is very important to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle, installed by a qualied 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 and 1.7 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 branch circuit single grounded outlet of at least 15 A and max of 20 A. The outlet box should be located in the cabinet above the microwave oven. The outlet box and supply circuit should be installed by a qualied electrician and conform to the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code.

General information

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

NOTE

If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 3 ¼˝ 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 3 ¼˝ 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 3 ¼˝ x 10˝ rectangular or 6˝ diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.

General information

Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps, etc. present additional resistance to airow 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 equivalent length in feet of some typical ducts.

• This microwave oven is for installation over ranges up to 36˝ wide.

• If you are going to vent your microwave oven to the outside, see the Hood

Exhaust Section for exhaust duct preparation.

• If installing the microwave oven beneath smooth at cabinets, be careful to follow the instructions on the top cabinet template for power cord clearance.

• Maximum cabinet depth above and beside the unit is 12˝.

• The dimensions provided are the minimum required for mounting the microwave oven. Local codes and the practical use of the range will likely require you to provide more than the 13.5˝ shown between the range and the bottom of the microwave.
