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: 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

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.
