MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY **
**
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your
appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and
others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word
“DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
DANGER You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately
follow instructions.
WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Parts Supplied (not shown to scale)
Location Requirements
The microwave oven may be installed over a built-in oven. If installing over a
built-in oven, make sure there is a minimum of 3 15⁄16″ (10 cm) between the
top of the lower oven cutout and the microwave oven cutout floor.
The microwave oven may also be installed in a cabinet by itself (without a
built-in oven below). For best usability, we recommend a minimum distance of
36 1/16″ (91.6 cm) from the floor to the cutout floor.
Make sure the surrounding cabinetry has clearance to open and close freely.
Allow a clearance of at least 2″ (5 cm) below the cutout floor (3 15⁄16″ [10
cm] for installation above a uilt-in oven), and a clearance of at least 2″ (5
cm) above the cutout opening.
A. Upper cabinet
B. Microwave oven cutout| C. Lower oven cutout
D. Lower cabinets
E. Floor

Required Cutout Dimensions
A. Trim kit frame overhang
B. Cutout for lower oven
C. Recommended region for receptacle location (no less than 6″ [15.2 cm] to
the right of cutout centerline)
D. Cutout centerline
| Receptacle Location | Minimum Depth |
|---|
Within recommended
region| 21 9⁄16″ (54.8 cm) with flush receptacle;
23 9⁄16″ (59.8 cm) with non-flush receptacle
Outside recommended
region| 23 9⁄16″ (59.8 cm) with flush receptacle;
25 9⁄16″ (64.9 cm) with non-flush receptacle
NOTES:
- Depth requirements depend upon receptacle and its location within or outside of recommended region. See illustration and chart above.
- Height dimension is critical: 17 1 ⁄8″ (43.5 cm) minimum,17 3⁄16″ (43.7 cm) maximum.
- Width measurement has ±1/16″ (2 mm) tolerance.
- 3 15⁄16″ (10 cm) minimum dimension is from lower oven cutout ceiling to microwave oven cutout floor.
- Trim kit frame extends 13/16″ (2.14 cm) above and below the cutout opening.
Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical
shock.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Required:
- A 120 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 A electrical supply with a fuse or circuit breaker.
Recommended:
- A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.
- A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■ For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the microwave oven is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman
install an outlet near the microwave oven.

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. -
Plug in microwave oven.
-
Slide the microwave oven back and into place. The mounting holes of the rail flanges and bottom duct flange will align against the bottom front facing of the cutout/cabinet opening.
-
Secure the microwave oven to the cutout/cabinet by installing four 123# screws into the mounting holes.
Install Trim Kit Frame
-
Position trim kit frame over the opening so that the upper tabs fits inside the rails as shown.
-
To vertically center the trim kit frame, slide it upward, against the opening, until the upper tabs catch against the top of the rails.
-
Holding the trim kit frame firmly in place, use 7/64″ drill to drill four pilot holes into the front facing of the cutout/cabinet through the mounting hole guides in the upper and lower corners of the trim kit frame.
NOTES:
■ The holes will be drilled upward from the bottom, and downward from the top at an angle of about 45°.
