This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.
The installer must perform a ground continuity check
on the power outlet box before beginning the
installation to ensure that the outlet box is properly
grounded. If not properly grounded, or if the outlet
box does not meet electrical requirements noted
(under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualified
electrician should be employed to 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 this 63–85 pound
(28.5–38.5 kg) product, plus additional oven loads of
up to 50 pounds (22.7 kg) or a total weight of
113–135 pounds (51.3–61.2 kg).
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 three-prong
(grounding) wall receptacle
to minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked
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 electrician.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,
DEFORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS
FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH
AN EXTENSION CORD.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure proper
ground exists
before use

When installing the microwave oven beneath smooth, flat cabinets, be careful to follow the
instructions on the top cabinet template for power cord clearance.
As a guide to installation, see page 26 for Mounting Template Information.
If the cabinet depth, including the cabinet doors, is more than 13”, then the unit must be spaced out
from wall using adequate materials supporting 150 lbs to allow proper top vent air exhaust/intake.

Installation Instructions
Find the studs, using one of the following
methods:
A. Stud finder a magnetic device which
locates nails.
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the
mounting surface to find a solid sound.
This will indicate a stud location.
After locating the stud(s), find the center by
probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges
of the stud. Then place a mark halfway between
the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should
be 16w (40.6 cm) or 24w (61 cm) from this mark.
Draw a line down the center of the studs.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO
AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that
interferes with the microwave installation. Remove
the decorative trim to install the microwave properly
and to make it level.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE LEVEL.
Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with no
back or side frame, install the mounting plate down
the same distance as the front overhang depth. This
will keep the microwave level.
Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal
distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside
depth of the front overhang.
For this type of installation with front overhang
only, align the mounting tabs with this horizontal
line, not touching the cabinet bottom as described
in Step D.
Draw a vertical line on
the wall at the center of
the 30
wide space.
Tape the Rear Wall
Template onto the wall
matching the centerline
and touching the
bottom of the cabinet.
to Cooktop
Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the
30
space.
Tape the Rear Wall Template onto the wall
matching the centerline and touching the bottom

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Make sure the screws for the blower motor and blower
plate are securely tightened when they are reinstalled.
This will help to prevent excessive vibration.
Make sure the motor wiring has been properly routed
and secured, and that the wires are not pinched.
Installation Instructions
Place the mounting plate against the wall and
insert the toggle wings into the holes in the wall
to mount the plate.
NOTE: Before tightening toggle bolts and wood
screw, make sure the bott m of the mounting plate
touch the bottom of the cabinet when pushed flush
against the wall and that the plate is properly
centered under the cabinet.
CAUTION: Be careful to avoid pinching fingers
between the back of the mounting plate and the wall.
Tighten all bolts. Pull the plate away from the wall
to help tighten the bolts.

ATTACH THE MOUNTING
PLATE TO THE WALL
Attach the plate to the wall using toggle bolts.
At least one wood screw must be used to attach

MOUNT THE MICROWAVE OVEN
FOR EASIER INSTALLATION AND PERSONAL
SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND THAT TWO PEOPLE
INSTALL THIS MICROWAVE OVEN.
NOTE: If your cabinet is metal, use the nylon
grommet around the power cord hole to prevent
cutting of the cord.
NOTE: We recommend using filler blocks if the
cabinet front hangs below the cabinet bottom shelf.
IMPORTANT: If filler blocks are not used,
case damage may occur from overtightening
screws.
Insert a self-aligning screw through top center
cabinet hole. Temporarily secure the oven by
turning the screw at least two full turns after the
threads have engaged. (It will be completely
tightened later.) Be sure to keep power cord
tight. Be careful not to pinch the cord, especially
when mounting flush to bottom of cabinet.

lift oven by pulling cord.
Lift microwave, tilt
it forward, and hook

CHECK BLOWER PLATE
Blower Plate
Place the microwave in its upright position, with the
top of the unit facing up.
Check to see that the blower plate is correctly
installed on the unit.
USE TOP CABINET TEMPLATE
FOR PREPARATION OF TOP
CABINET
Read the instructions on the TOP CABINET
TEMPLATE.
Tape it underneath the top cabinet.
Drill the holes, following the instructions on the
TOP CABINET TEMPLATE.
CAUTION: Wear safety goggles when drilling holes
in the cabinet bottom.
You need to drill holes for the top support screws and
a hole large enough for the power cord to fit through.
Adjust top template accordingly if the microwave
is being spaced out from the wall due to cabinet depth
(including cabinet doors) of more th n 13"""''.
NOTE:

MOUNT THE MICROWAVE
OVEN
B6.
FOR EASIER INSTALLATION AND PERSONAL
SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND THAT TWO PEOPLE
INSTALL THIS MICROWAVE OVEN.
NOTE: If your cabinet is metal, use the nylon
grommet around the power cord hole to prevent
cutting of the cord.
NOTE: We recommend using filler blocks if the
cabinet front hangs below the cabinet bottom shelf.
IMPORTANT: If filler blocks are not
used, case damage may occur from
overtightening screws.
Insert a self-aligning screw through top center
cabinet hole. Temporarily secure the oven by
turning the screw at least two full turns after the
threads have engaged. (It will be completely
tightened later.) Be sure to keep power cord
tight. Be careful not to pinch the cord, especially
when mounting flush to bottom of cabinet.
