CONVECTION MICROWAVE HOOD
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Convection Microwave Hood. Two people are recommended to install this product.
If a new electrical outlet is required, its installation should be completed by a qualified electrician before the
Convection Microwave Hood is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 2.
1 MOUNTING SPACE
This Convection Microwave Hood requires a mounting
space on a wall as shown in Figure 1. It is designed to
be used with standard 12-inch wall cabinets.
For proper installation and servicing, a 2-inch space is
necessary between the top of the range backguard and
the bottom of the Convection Microwave Hood.

2 WALL CONSTRUCTION
This Convection Microwave Hood should be mounted
against and supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall
must be flat for proper installation. If the wall is not
flat, use spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall construction
should be a minimum of 2” x 4” wood studding and
3/8” or more thick dry wall or plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces must be capable of supporting a weight of
110 pounds—the oven and contents—AND the weight
of all items which would normally be stored in the top
cabinet above the unit.
The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2” x
4” wall stud or two 2" x 3" wall studs.
To find the location of the studs, one of the following
methods may be used:
A. Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates
the nails in the stud.
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting
surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate stud
location.
The center of the stud can be located by probing the
wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud and
then placing a mark halfway between the edges. The
center of any adjacent studs will normally be 16” or 24”
to either side of this mark.
