Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires a three-l)rong, ,gr°unded outlet.
The installer must perform a ground continuit _, check
on the power outlet box before begilming the
installation to insure that the outlet box is properly
grotmded. If not prol_erly grounded, or if the outlet
box does n(>t meet electrical requirements n(>ted
(trader EI,ECTRI(_AI, REQ/_.IIREMENTS), a qualified
electrMan sh()uld be employed t() correct am
deficiencies.
I!1//11/ l
CAUTION: For persona]
safety, remove house fuse
or open circuit breaker
before beghulhag
installation to avoid severe
or fatal shock injury.
CAUTION: For persona] safety, the momathag surface
must be capable of supporting the cabinet load, hi
addition to the added weight of this 63-85 pomad
product, plus additional oven loads of up to 50 pomads
or a total weight of 113-135 pounds.
CAUTION: For personal safety, this product cmmot
be installed hi cabinet arrmagements such as an islmad or
a peninsula. It must be momated to BOTH a top cabinet
AND a wall.
NOTE: For easier installation mad personal safety, it is
recmmnended that two people install this product.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE RILM) CAREFULLY. FOR
PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE OR
FATAL SHOCK.
The power cord of this
appfimace is equipped with
a three-prong (gromadhag)
plug which mates with a
sta_adaJ_d three-prong
(gromadhag) wall receptacle
to mh_hnize the possibility
of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Ensure proper
ground exists
before use
You should have the wall receptacle mad circuit checked
by a qualified electricima to make sure the receptacle is
properly gromaded.
Where a staaadaaxi two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is very hnportant to have it replaced
with a properly gromaded three-prong wall receptacle,
installed by a qualified electridma.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,
DI_)'ORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THI: PRONGS
FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH
AN KXTENSION CORD.
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps and
1.58 kilowatts. This product must be connected to a
supply circuit of tile i_roper voltage and ti'equei_cy.
Wire size inust conlorin to tile requireu/ei_ts of tile
National Electrical Code or tile prevailing local
code ti)r this kilowatt rating. Tile power supply
cord and I)lug should be brought to a separate
15- t() 20-alni_ere branch circuit single gi'ounded
outlet. The outlet box should be located in the
cabinet above tile u_icrowave oven. Tile outlet box
and supply circuit should be installed by a qualified
electrician and conform to the National Electrical
Code or the prewfiling local code.

NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align exhaust with space between studs, or wall should be prepared

Installation Instructions
NOTE: If wm need to install ducts, note that the total
duct lengti_ of 3V_" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter
round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHALIST DLICT.
Read the following careflfllv.
NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using
the most direct route and with as tew elbows as possible.
This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, make sure dmnpers swing freely and
nothing is blocking the ducts.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
a standard 3V_" x 10" rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangulai_to-round
transition adaptor m ust be used. Do not use less than
a 6" diameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfi_ctorv air movement, the total duct length of
3¼" x ] 0" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should
not exceed 140 equivalent feet,
Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps,
etc., present additional resistance to airflow and are
equiwdent to a section of straight duct which is longer
than their actual physical size, When calculating the total
duct length, add the equiwdent lengths of all transitions
and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections,
The chart below shows wm how to calculate total
equiwdent ductwork length using the approximate feet
of equiwdent length of some typical ducts,
