Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.

Tile installer lnust perform a ground cominuily check

oil the power oullet box before beginning the

installation to insure that the outlet box is properly

grounded. If not properly grounded, or if tile oudet

box does not meet eleclrical requiremenls noled

(under ELECTRI(LAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualified

electrician should be eInployed m correct any

deficiencies.

CAUTION: For personal

safety, remove house fuse

or open circuit breaker

before beginning

installation to avoid severe

or fatal shock injury.

CAUTION: For personal safety, the mounting surface

must be capable of supporting the cabinet load, in

addition to the added weight of tlfis 63-85 pound

product, plus additional oven loads of up to 50 pounds

or a total weight of 113-135 pounds.

CAUTION: For personal safety, this product cannot

be installed in cabinet arrangements such as an island or

a peninsula. It must be mounted to BOTH a top cabinet

AND a wall.

NOTE: For easier installation and personal safety, it is

recommended that two people install this product.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR

PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE OR

FATAL SHOCK.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

three-prong (grounding)

plug which mates with a

standard fluee-prong

(grounding) wall receptacle

to nfinintize the possibility

of electric shock hazard

from this appliance.

Ensure proper

ground exists

before use

You should have the waU receptacle and circuit c_ec&ed

by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is

properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is very important to have it replaced

with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle,

installed by a qualified dectridan.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,

DEFORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS

FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH

AN EXTENSION CORD.

ELECTRICAL

REQUIREMENTS

Product rating is 120 vohs AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps and

1.58 kilowatls. This product must be connected m a

supply circuit of 1he proper voltage and frequency.

Wire size must conform to the requirements of the

National Eleclrical Code or the prevailing local

code far this kilowatt rating. The power supply

cord and plug should be brought to a separale

1_ to 20- ampere branch circuit single grounded

omlet. The oudet box should be localed in the

cabinet above the microwave oven. The outlet box

and supply circuit should be installed by a qualified

electrician and contorm m the National Eleclrical

Code or die prevailing local code.

Installation Instructions

NOTE: Read these next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to the

outside. If you plan to recirculate the air back into the room, proceed to page 6.

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

at the time it is construoed by leaving enough space between the wall studs m accommodate exhaust.

Installation Instructions

NOTE: lfyou ueed to inslall ducts, uole that the total

duct length of 3¼" x 10" rectaugular or 6" diameter

round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.

Oulside vemilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUC'E

Read the followiug carefully.

NOTE: It is imporlant lhat venting be inslalled using

the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.

This ensures clear veuling of exhaust aud helps prevent

blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and

nothing is blocking the ducts.

Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has beeu designed m Illa/e with

a slandard 3_(' x 10" rectangular duct.

If a rouud duct is required, a rectangular-to-round

transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than

a 6" diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:

For satisfaclory air Inovement, the tolal duct lenglh of

3W' x 10" rectangmlar or 6" diamewr round duct should

not exceed 140 equivalent feet.

Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps,

etc., present additional resistance to airflow and are

equivalent m a section of straight duct which is longer

than their actual physical size. When calculating Ihe mlal

duct lenglh, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions

and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections.

The chart below shows you how m calculate total

of equivalent length of some typical ducts.

I-_ FINDING THE WALL STUDS

[] Find the studs, using one of the fbllowing

methods:

A. Stud finder - a Inagnetic dm4ce which

locates nails.

B. Use a hamIner to lap lightly across the

moundng surface lo find a solid sound.

This will indicate a stud location.

[After locating the stud(s), find the cenler by

probing dm wall widl a small nail to find the edges

of dm stud. Then place a mark half,ray bet_veen

the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should

be 16" or 24" fl'om this mark.

[]Draw a line down Ihe center of the studs.

THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO

AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

[] While holding Ihe mounting plale with one hand,

draw circles on lhe wall at holes A, B, C and D

(see illustralion above/actual plate, marked with

arrows). Four holes must be used for mounting.

NOTE: Holes C and D are inside area E. If neilher

(] nor D is in a slud, find a stud somewhere in area E

and draw a fifth circle m line up wilh the stud. It is

iInporlant lo use at least one wood screw lnouIlled

firmly in a stud lo support lhe weight of the microwave.

Set the mounting plate aside.

Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a :_"

hole fbr wood screws. For holes that don't line up with

a stud, drill a %" hole for toggle bolls.

NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS

TIME.
