generating compartments, check the magnetron, waveguide or transmission line, and
cavity for proper alignment, integrity and connections.
d) Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal, and micro-
wave generation and transmission systems shall be repaired, replaced, or adjusted by
procedures described in service manual before the oven is released to the owner.
e) A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Federal Performance Standard
should be performed on each oven prior to release to the owner.
f) Do not attempt to operate the oven if the door glass is broken.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Required:
A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp •
fused electrical supply (or circuit breaker).
Recommended:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For all cord connected appliances:•
The microwave oven must be grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. The microwave oven
is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the ground-
ing plug can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a qualified electrician
or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the microwave oven.
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is •
recommended.

ROTATE BLOWER MOTOR
The microwave oven is set for recirculation
installation. For wall or roof venting, changes
must be made to the venting system.
NOTE: Skip this section if you are using recirculation installation. Keep the damper assembly in case the venting method is changed, or
the microwave oven is reinstalled in another
location where wall or roof venting may be
used.
Wall Venting Installation Only
1. Remove screw attaching damper plate
to top of microwave oven exterior. Slide
damper plate back and lift up.
5. Rotate blower motor end over end.
6. Rotate blower motor so that exhaust
ports face the back of microwave oven,
and lower blower motor back into the
microwave oven.
2. Keep damper plate and screw together
and set aside.
3. Remove two screws attaching blower
motor to back of microwave oven.
4. Lift blower motor out of microwave oven.
7. Reattach blower motor to back of
microwave oven with 2 screws removed
in Step 3.

WARNING
1. Repeat Step 1 from “Wall Venting Installation Only.”
2. Repeat Step 2 from “Wall Venting Installation Only.”
3. Repeat Step 3 from “Wall Venting Installation Only.”
4. Repeat Step 4 from “Wall Venting Installation Only.”
5. Rotate the blower motor so the exhaust
ports face the top of the microwave oven
and the flat sides of the blower motor
face the back of the microwave oven.
Lower the blower motor back into the
microwave oven.
7. Reattach damper plate. Make sure tabs
at top and back of damper plate are inserted fully into their respective slots in
the microwave oven.
8. Secure damper plate with screw.
INSTALL THE MICROWAVE OVEN
IMPORTANT: If blower motor is not posi-
tioned with flat sides facing the back of the
microwave oven (as shown), performance will
be poor.
6. Reattach blower motor to back of microwave oven with 2 screws removed in
Step 3 of “Wall Venting Installation Only.”
Securely tighten screws.
NOTE: If blower motor is not correctly oriented, the 2 screws removed in Step 3 cannot be
reattached to the microwave oven.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and
install microwave oven.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
IMPORTANT: The control side of the
microwave oven is the heavy side. Handle the
microwave oven gently.
1. Place a washer on each 1/4-20 x 3˝ bolt
and place inside upper cabinet near the
3/8˝ (10 mm) holes.
2. Make sure the microwave oven door is
closed and taped shut.

in the wall cutout.
6. Push the microwave oven against mounting plate and hold in place.
NOTE: If microwave oven does not need to
be adjusted, skip steps 7-9.
3. Using 2 or more people, lift microwave
oven and hang it on support tabs at the
bottom of mounting plate.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the microwave
oven, do not grip or use the door or door
handle while the microwave oven is being
handled.
4. With front of microwave oven still tilted,
thread power supply cord through the
power supply cord hole in the bottom of
the upper cabinet.
7. If adjustment is required, rotate the
microwave oven downward. Using 2 or
more people, lift microwave oven off of
mounting plate, and set aside on a protected surface.
8. Loosen mounting plate screws. Adjust
mounting plate and retighten screws.
9. Repeat steps 3-6.
10. With the microwave oven centered, and
with at least one person holding it in
place, insert bolts through upper cabinet
into microwave oven. Tighten bolts until
there is no gap between upper cabinet
and microwave oven.
NOTES:
Some upper cabinets may require bolts •
longer or shorter than 3˝ (7.6 cm). Longer
or shorter bolts are available at most hardware stores.
Overtightening bolts may warp the top •
of the microwave oven. To avoid warping, wood filler blocks may be added. The
blocks must be the same thickness as the
space between the upper cabinet bottom
and the microwave oven.

MICROWAVE OVEN CONTROL
1
2
3
When the microwave oven is in use, the display shows cooking power, quantities, weights
and/or prompts. When the microwave oven is
not in use, the display shows the time of day
or Timer countdown.
Number Codes
The microwave oven is preset with shortcut
number codes. A number code includes one or
more of the following: cooking power, cook time
and food quantity or weight. See the charts in
the “Cooking” and/or “Reheating” sections for
additional information.
Start/Add 30 Seconds
The START control shares function with the Add
30 Seconds feature. The START pad will start
any function. If not touched within 5 seconds
after touching a pad, “START?” will appear on
the display as a reminder. If not touched within
5 minutes after touching a pad, the display will
return to the time of day mode and the programmed function will be canceled.
If cooking is interrupted, touching the START
will resume the preset cycle.
DISPLAY
When power is rst supplied to the microwave
oven, a “:” will blink in the display. Touch (Cancel) to stop the blinking. If the “:” blinks in the
display at any other time, a power failure has
occurred. Touch (Cancel) and reset the clock
if needed.
If “RETRY” blinks in the display for 1 second,
an invalid value has been entered. Retry your
entry.
The ADD 30 SEC. control starts the oven at
100% power for 30 seconds, and adds 30 seconds of cook time with each additional touch
of the control. Once cooking begins, cook
power or cook time may be changed manually
by touching the appropriate display area and
entering the new setting.
Easy Minute Feature
The numerical pads 1-5 share function with
the Easy Minute controls. When one of these
controls is touched (while no function is operating), the oven will begin cooking at high power
