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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 13.5 amps and 1.5 kilowatts. This product must be connected to a supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency. Wire size must conform to the requirements of theNational Electrical Code or the prevailing local code for this kilowatt rating. The power supply cord and plug should be brought to a separate 20 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.

HOOD EXHAUST

NOTE : Read these next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to the outside. If you plan to recirculate the air back into the room, proceed to page 11

OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation

IMPORTANT : If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper

OUTSIDE BACK EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.

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 constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 3¼” 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 3¼” 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

Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3¼” x 10” 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 equivalent to a section of straight duct which is longer than their actual physical size. When calculating the total duct length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections. The chart below shows you how to calculate total equivalent ductwork length using the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.

IMPORTANT : If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper. Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood

PLACEMENT OF THE MOUNTING PLATE

A. REMOVING THE MICROWAVE OVEN FROM THE CARTON/REMOVING THE MOUNTING PLATE

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.
3. Pull the carton up and off the oven.
4. Remove and properly discard plastic bags.
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 location of outcase after removing mounting plate.

FINDING THE WALL STUDS

1. Find the studs, using one of the following methods:
2. A. Stud finder-a magnetic device which locates nails.
3. B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate a stud location.
4. 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 16” or 24” from this mark.
5. Draw a line down the center of the studs.

THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD. DETERMINING WALL PLATE LOCATION UNDER YOUR CABINET

Plate position – beneath flat bottom cabinet

Plate position – beneath recessed bottom cabinet with front overhang

Plate position – beneath framed recessed cabinet bottom

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.

1. Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
2. Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth of the front overhang.
3. 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.

ALIGNING THE WALL PLATE

CAUTION : Wear gloves to avoid cutting fingers on sharp edges.

1. Draw a Vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30″ wide space.
2. Draw a Horizontal line on the wall at the bottom of “Rear Wall Template”.
3. Drill 5/8″ holes for toggle bolts on 3 locations (Hole A, Hole B, Hole C) but if the location of hole is same as that of stud, drill a 3/16″ hole for wood screw. In other words, toggle bolt can not be used to the location of stud.

NOTE : DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.

NOTE : Holes A, B and C are inside area E. If none of A, B and C is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E and draw a forth circle to line up with the stud. It is important to use at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud to support the weight of the microwave. Set the mounting plate aside
