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 69 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 he installed in cabinet arrangements such as an island or a peninsula. It must he

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.

You should have the wall receptacle and circuit

checked by a qualified 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 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 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 15 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,

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which

mates with a standard

three-prong (grounding} wail receptacle to

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 1t.

NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align the exhaust with the space between studs, or the wall should be prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 3 1A'x 1O-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 1A'x 1O-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 Y4"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 equivalent length in feet of some typical ducts.
