Installation Dimensions

NOTE: The grounded 3 prong outlet must be inside the upper

cabinet. See “Electrical Requirements” section.

A. Grounded 3 prong outlet

*Measure from the front edges of the side cabinets.

**For installation with stainless steel filler panel.

NOTE: To avoid stress on the power cord, a minimum of 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) must exist between the top surface of the microwave oven’s upper component housing and the bottom of the upper cabinet.

Product Dimensions

Location Requirements

Check the opening where the microwave oven will be installed. The location must provide:

■ Minimum installation dimensions. See “Installation

Dimensions” illustration.

■ Side cabinets: Support for weight of 75 lbs (34 kg) each,

which includes microwave oven and items placed inside the microwave oven and side cabinets.

■ Grounded electrical outlet inside upper cabinet. See

“Electrical Requirements” section.

NOTES:

■ Installation requires venting above the microwave oven.

■ Recirculation installation requires venting through a kitchen

soffit. See “Venting Requirements” section. A charcoal filter kit should be used for recirculation. See “Assistance” section for information on ordering.

■ If you are using a rectangular to round transition piece, 3"

(7.6 cm) clearance needs to exist above the damper assembly so that the damper blade can open freely and fully. See “Rectangular to Round Transition” illustration in “Venting Requirements” section.

■ Some cabinet and building materials are not designed to

withstand the heat produced by the microwave oven for cooking. Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damages.

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.

WARNING

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE 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 grounding 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.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Required:

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply

with a fuse or circuit breaker.

Recommended:

■ A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.

■ A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven.

Venting Requirements

This section is intended for architectural designer and builder/contractor reference only.

NOTES:

■ If installing for recirculation, venting must be routed up and

out through an exhaust register (not provided) in a kitchen soffit. A charcoal filter kit (not provided) should be used. See “Assistance” section for information on ordering.

■ Vent materials needed for installation are not provided with

microwave hood combination.

■ We do not recommend using a flexible metal vent.

■ To avoid possible product damage, be sure to vent air

outside, unless using recirculation installation. Do not vent exhaust air into concealed spaces, such as spaces within walls or ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or garages.

For optimal venting installation, we recommend:

■ using roof or wall caps that have back draft dampers

■ using a rigid metal vent

■ using the most direct route by minimizing the length of the

vent and number of elbows to provide efficient performance

■ using uniformly sized vents

■ using duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system

■ using caulking compound to seal exterior wall or roof opening

around cap

■ for optimal hood performance, do not install 2 elbows

together

If rectangular to round transition is used, be sure there is at least 3" (7.6 cm) of clearance between the top of the damper assembly and the transition piece. See “Rectangular to Round Transition” illustration.

Recommended Standard Fittings

Recommended Vent Length

A 3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6" (15.2 cm) round vent should be used.

The total length of the vent system including straight vent, elbow(s), transitions and wall or roof caps must not exceed the equivalent of 140 ft (42.7 m) for either type of vent. See “Recommended Standard Fittings” section for equivalent lengths.

For best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows. To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent

lengths of each vent piece used in the system. See the following examples:

3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) vent system = 73 ft (22.2 m) total

A. One 3 B. 1 wall cap = 40 ft (12.2 m) C. 2 ft (0.6 m) + 6 ft (1.8 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m)

¹⁄₄

If the existing vent is round, a rectangular to round transition piece must be used. In addition, a rectangular 3" (7.6 cm) extension vent between the damper assembly and rectangular to round transition piece must be installed to keep the damper from sticking.
