ImPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 insure 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 69 pound product, plus additional oven loads of up to 50 pounds or a total weight of

109 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

Insure proper before use

ImPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE mUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE mUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID

SEVERE OR FATAL SHOCK.

Insure proper ground exists before use

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.

If you have a standard two-prong wall receptacle, it is very important to have it replaced with a properly grounded threeprong 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.

ELECTRICAL

REqUIREMENTS

Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 14.5 amps and 1.7 kilowatts.This product must be connected to a supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency. Wire size must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code for this kilowatt rating. The power supply cord and plug should be brought to a separate 15 ampere branch circuit single grounded outlet. The outlet box should be located in the cabinet above the microwave oven. The outlet box and supply circuit should be installed by a qualified electrician and conform to the National Electrical

Code or the prevailing local code.

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 3 ¼˝ x 10˝ rectangular or 6˝ diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.

Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT.

Read the following carefully.

NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible. This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent blockages. Also, make sure dampers

swing freely and nothing is blocking the ducts.

Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 3 ¼˝ x 10˝ rectangular duct.

If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less

than a 6˝ diameter duct.

1. Remove the installation instructions, Exhaust adaptor, filters, glass tray, and the small hardware bag. Do not remove the Styrofoam protecting the front of the oven.

2. Fold back all 4 carton flaps fully against carton sides. Then carefully roll the oven and carton over onto the top side. The oven should be resting in the Styrofoam.

B. FINDING THE WALL STUDS

3. Pull the carton up and off the oven.

4. Remove and properly discard plastic bags.

1. Find the studs using one of the following methods:

A. Stud finder–a magnetic device which locates nails.

OR

B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate a stud location.

2. After locating the stud(s), find the stud’s 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 16˝ or 24˝ from this mark.

3. Draw a line down the center of the studs.

Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30˝ wide space. Draw a second, horizontal line on the wall below the cabinet to mark how far the inside of the front overhang descends below the cabinet. Tape the

Rear Wall Template onto the wall so that the top of the template touches the bottom of the horizontal line and the centerline on the template lines up with the vertical line.

5. Remove the 2 screws from the mounting plate.

This plate will be used as the rear wall template and for mounting.

NOTE: You will have to reuse two screws in original loction of outcase after removing mounting plate.
