IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!
!
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed
in the warranty.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at
service panel and lock service disconnecting means
to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.
When the service disconnecting means cannot be
locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device,
such as a tag, to the service panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualifi ed personnel in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fi re-rated construction
codes and standards.
4. Suffi cient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the fl ue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the
heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety
standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) and the American Society
for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. Do not use this unit with any other solid-state speed
control device.
8. To reduce the risk of fi re, use only metal ductwork.
9. The mounting surface must be capable of supporting
the cabinet load, in addition to the added weight of this
46-pound product, plus additional oven loads of up to
50 pounds for a total weight of 96 pounds.
10. 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 the wall behind the product.
11.Do not mount over a sink.
12. This unit must be grounded. To provide protection
against electric shock, connect to properly grounded
outlets only.
13. When applicable local regulations comprise more
restrictive installation and/or certifi cation requirements,
the aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this
document and the installer agrees to conform to these at
his own expenses.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
fl ambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or fi lter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate
for the size of the surface element.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING*:
1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fi tting lid, cookie sheet
or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL
TO PREVENT BURNS. IF THE FLAMES DO NOT GO
OUT IMMEDIATELY, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be
burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels
— This could cause a violent steam explosion.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you know how
to operate it.
B. The fi re is small and contained in the area where it
started.
C. The fi re department has been called.
D. You can fi ght the fi re with your back to an exit.
*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
CAUTION
1. For indoor use only.
2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or
unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction
dust, etc. off power unit.
4. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will
automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated.
The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor
continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
5. Ensure the product meets the minimum ventilation
requirements specifi ed by the range manufacturer.
6. Two installers are recommended because of the weight
of this unit.
7. To reduce the risk of fi re, do not exhaust air into spaces
within walls, ceiling, attics, crawl space or garage.
8. This product is equipped with a thermostat which may
start blower automatically. To reduce the risk of injury and
to prevent power from being switched on accidentally,
unplug the unit power cord or switch power off at service
panel and lock or tag service panel.
9. Because of the high exhausting capacity of this unit, you
should make sure enough air is entering the house to
replace exhausted air by opening a window close to or in
the kitchen.
10. Please read specifi cation label on product for further
information and requirements.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR INSTALLATION OVER A GAS RANGE
CAUTION (GAS RANGE)
1. The minimum distances given in this installation guide must be observed in order to ensure safe operation.
2. The microwave oven should only be installed in a well ventilated area.
3. The unit must NOT be installed in recirculation (non-ducted).
4. This microwave oven is intended for use over gas range of 50,000 BTU/hr. maximum.
5. Ensure the product meets the minimum ventilation requirements specifi ed by the range manufacturer.
6.
The microwave oven should only be installed as illustrated below, while maintaining the required safety distances. Do
not install the microwave oven between two tall cabinets.

1. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
!
This appliance requires a three-prong grounded outlet. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having
a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. No
adapter should be used with this appliance. Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard
115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this circuit.
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 qualifi ed
electrician.
MD0003
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualifi ed
electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply
cord is too short, have a qualifi ed electrician install an outlet near the appliance, in accordance
with all applicable codes and standards. Do not cut, deform or remove the third (ground) prong
from the power cord under any circumstances. Connect the unit only to a 20 A dedicated circuit.
2. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 13.5 amps and 1.5 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 power 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 qualifi ed electrician and conform to the National Electrical Code or
the prevailing local code.

3. HOOD EXHAUST (CONT’D)
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
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 adapter must be used. Do not use less than a 6”

These duct pieces present additional resistance to airfl ow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct which

transitions and adapters plus the length of all straight duct sections. The chart below shows you how to calculate
