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)

¹⁄₄

A. Two 90° elbows = 20 ft (6.1 m)

C. 1 rectangular to round transition piece = 5 ft (1.5 m)
D. 2 ft (0.6 m) + 6 ft (1.8 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m)
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.
