Installation Guide
Electrical Notes
This microwave oven requires a 120V~60Hz electrical connection with a rated input of 1500W and a rated output of 1000W.
Installation Notes
This microwave oven is designed for adaptation to three types of ventilation:
- Outside Top Exhaust (Vertical Duct)
- Outside Back Exhaust (Horizontal Duct)
- Recirculating (Non-Vented Ductless)
- The mounting surface must be capable of supporting the cabinet load, in addition to the added weight of the microwave (50-60 lbs./ 22.7-27.21 kg) and maximum oven loads (50 lbs./ 22.7 kg); or a total maximum weight of 110 lbs. / 48.9 kg.
- This product cannot be installed in island or peninsula arrangements, it must be mounted to both a top cabinet and a wall.
- The space between the cabinets must be 24” (76.2 cm) wide and free of obstructions.
- When installing the microwave over a range, leave a minimum of 2” from the bottom of the microwave to the top of the range backguard for removal of the light covers.
- When installing the microwave oven beneath smooth flat cabinets, be careful to follow the instructions on the top cabinet template for power cord clearance.
- If you are going to vent your microwave oven to the outside, see Hood Exhaust Section for exhaust duct preparation
Note : This microwave is shipped for recirculating. To change ventilation method, view the appropriate section in the installation manual.
Ventilation Options
If you choose outside ventilation, an external exhaust duct is required. The exhaust adapter has been designed to mate with a standard 31/4 x 10′ (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular duct. If a rectangular-to-round transition adapter 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. The maximum duct length of 31/4 x 10 (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 5 (10.5 cm) diameter/6 (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceed 120 equivalent feet (36.5 m). 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.

- Exhaust Connection : The exhaust adaptor has been designed to mate with a standard 31/4” x 10’ (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular duct.
- Rear Exhaust : 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.
- Maximum Duct Length : For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 31/4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 5” (10.5 cm) diameter/6” (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceed 120 equivalent feet (36.5 m).
- 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 shows t he approximate dimensions of some typical ducts.
