Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This product requires a three-i)rong grounded outlet.

The installer must peril)ira a ground continuity check

on the power outlet box heft)re begilming the

installation to insure that the outlet box is i)roi)erly

grounded, If not i)roi)erly grounded, or if the outlet

box does not ineet electrical requireu_ei_ts noted

(under EI,ECTRICAI, REQUIREMENTS), a qualified

electrician should be elni_loyed to correct any

deficiencies,

CAUTION: For persona]

safety, remove house fuse

or open circuit breaker

before beghmhag

instaJlation to avoid severe

or fatal shock injury,

CAUTION: For persona] safety, the mounting surface

must be capable of supporting the cabinet load, ha

addition to the added weight of this 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 cmmot

be installed ha cabinet arrmagements such as an island or

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

AND a wall,

NOTE: For easier hastaJlation mad personal safety, it is

recolmnended 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 (grounding)

plug which mates with a

staaadaJ_d three-prong

(grounding) 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 grounded,

Where a stmadaa'd two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is very hnportant to have it replaced

with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle,

installed by a qualified electricima.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,

DI_ORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS

FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH

AN ILXTENSION CORD.

ELECTRICAL

REQUIREMENTS

Product rating is 120 volts A(:, 60 Hertz, 15 ami)s and

1.58 kilowatts. This l)roduct inust be connected to a

SUl)ply circuit of the i)roper w)ltage and ti'equency.

Wire size must COlafin'm to the requireu/elatS of the

National Electrical Code or the prewfiling local

code fi_i" this kilowatt rating, The power supply

cord and phlg should be brought to a separate

15- to 20-ami)ere branch circuit single grounded

outlet, The outlet box should be located in the

cabinet above the uficrowave oven. The outlet box

and supply circuit should be installed by a qualified

electrician and confln'n/to the National Electrical

Code or the prewfiling local code.

Installation Instructions

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

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

Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and

Total Length = 63 Ft.

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

at the time it is const_ ucted by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.

Installation Instructions

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total

duct length of 3V{' x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter

round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.

Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT.

Read the following carefiflly.

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 rectangula_to-round

transition adaptor m list be used. Do not use less than

a 6" diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:

For s;Kisfhctorv air movement, the total duct length of

3¼" x l 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

equi\_dent to a section of straight duct which is longer

than their actual physical size. When calculating the total

duct length, add the equi\:dent lengths of all transitions

and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections.

The chart below shows you how to calculate total

equi\_dent ductwork length using the approximate feet

of equivalent length of some typical ducts.
