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.

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.
