MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION

• To locate the model and serial number, open the microwave drawer fully.
• The label can be found on the front of the oven, underneath the touch pad.

WARNING: ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• This appliance 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.
• This appliance 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.
• Improper grounding may result in electrical shock.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
• Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.
• A short power-supply cord (48″/1219 mm) is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. We do not recommend using extension cords.
• If a long cord or extension cord is used:
  • The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
  • Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong grounded plug and 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
  • The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

WARNING

CLEARANCES AND DIMENSIONS NOTICE

For safety considerations, do not install the unit in any combustible cabinetry that is not in accordance with the stated clearances.

UNPACKING YOUR MICROWAVE DRAWER

Remove all packing materials from inside the microwave. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, located on the top of the microwave drawer. Remove the feature sticker if there is one. Check the unit for any damage, such as misaligned or bent drawer, damaged drawer seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose drawer guides, and dents inside the unit or on the front side of the drawer. If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave drawer and contact your dealer or ZLINE.

IMPORTANT NOTES TO THE INSTALLER

Read the entire installation portion of the manual before installing the microwave drawer. Remove all packing materials before connecting the electrical supply. Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Be sure to leave these instructions with the consumer.

IMPORTANT NOTES TO THE CONSUMER

Keep this manual for the future reference. With use of any heat-generating microwave oven, there are certain safety precautions you should follow. These are listed in the operation portion of the manual. Read all and follow carefully. Be sure your microwave drawer is installed and grounded properly by a qualified installer or service technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Fire or electrical shock resulting in property damage, personal injury or death may occur if the information in this manual is not followed exactly. To reduce the risk of tipping, the microwave drawer must be secured with a properly installed anti-tip block. This unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes. Make sure any wall coverings and/or cabinets around the appliance can withstand the heat generated by the microwave drawer. Never leave the drawer open when the microwave is unattended. Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the drawer may result in serious injuries and may also cause damage to the microwave.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION NOTICES

Dimensions shown in the figures below are precise, and cutout dimensions provide minimum clearances. Locate electrical outlet in the shaded area in the upper left-hand corner of the cutout.

• Contact surface must be solid and level. The cabinet floor of the opening should be constructed of plywood strong enough to support roughly 100 lb (45 kg).
• Check location where the unit will be installed for proper electrical supply.
• Microwaves can be built into a cabinet by itself or under a gas or electric wall oven. Clearance between a wall oven and microwave must be a minimum of 2″ (51 mm).
• The unit can be installed using an electrical outlet in an adjacent cabinet within the area where the provided electrical cord can reach.
• The power cord access hole inside the cabinet should have a minimum diameter of 1 1/2″ (38 mm) and be free of all sharp edges. Always allow sufficient power cord length to the suggested electrical outlet location to prevent tension (see pages 11–12).
• Always consult a professional installer to confirm cabinet dimensions prior to installing the microwave, as kitchen layouts vary. This is especially important when installing a 30″ (762 mm) model, as the front panel width (29 3/4″, 756 mm) is considerably larger than the product width itself (22 1/8″, 562 mm).

24″ Microwaves

30″ Microwaves

*NOTE: Cabinet opening width varies with the 30″ model.

ELECTRICAL OUTLET AND ANTI-TIP BLOCK

• To reduce the risk of tipping the drawer, an anti-tip block must be located a minimum of 15″ (381 mm) above the cabinet floor on which the microwave drawer will sit, as outlined above. A wooden 6″ (152 mm) anti-tip block must be provided by the installer. The anti-tip block prevents serious injury that might result from spilled hot liquids.
• If the drawer is ever moved to a different location, the anti-tip block must also be moved and installed. When secured to the wall, make sure the screws completely penetrate the wall and are secured in wood or metal so the block is totally stable. When fastening, be sure screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.
• The electrical requirements are 120VAC, 60Hz, 13A. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. The drawer is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug and must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct outlet.
• NOTE: The drawer can be installed using an electrical outlet in an adjacent cabinet within the area where the provided electrical cord can reach. ALWAYS check if the electrical cord can reach prior to installation.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The microwave drawer must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code along with local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in the risk of electric shock. We do not recommend using an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service person install an outlet near the appliance.

INSTALLATION THE DRAWER

1. Place the drawer near the cabinet opening. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
2. Carefully guide the drawer into the opening. Avoid pinching the power cord.
3. Slide the drawer until the mounting plates are flush with the face of the cabinet.
4. Open the drawer. Using 4 screw holes as a template, pre-drill the cabinet with a 1/16″ bit and secure the drawer with the four screws supplied.

IMPORTANT CABINET CUTOUT NOTES:

• For 30″ models, note the difference in width between the front panel (29 3/4″, 756 mm) and the product itself (22 1/8″, 562 mm). While the minimum cutout width is 22 3/8″ (568 mm), the screw holes to mount the drawer are located on the edge of the front panel and as such must be secured to the cabinet in this manner.
• For 24″ models, note the cutout height (14 3/4″, 375 mm) is the same height as the product itself. This is recommended to ensure a flush installation considering the front panel height (14 7/8″, 378 mm) is only slightly higher. A cutout height of 14 13/16″ (376 mm) might be suitable for some installations.
• Always consult a professional installer to confirm dimensions prior to installation.

INSTALLATION THE HANDLES

HANDLE INSTALLATION

NOTE

• The Allen/hex key needed to remove the handle is only included with Autograph Edition handles (Champagne Bronze, Polished Gold, and Matte Black).

Autograph Edition handles

1. Locate the holes on the underside of each handle base.
2. Using a 7/64″ Allen/hex key, turn counter-clockwise to loosen both the left and right set screws.
3. Carefully remove the handle. If installing an Autograph Edition handle, carefully place the new handle on the mounting studs. Then, using the Allen/hex key, tighten the left and right set screws in a clockwise motion until the handle is firmly in place.

INSTALLATION TRIM KIT

TRIM KIT INSTALLATION

NOTE

• This trim kit is available for purchase as a separate accessory for ZLINE’s 24″ microwave drawer in stainless steel only.
• The trim kit is only available for the 24″ unit; it is not available in black stainless.

TOOLS NEEDED:

• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Marker
• Drill

PARTS INCLUDED

INSTALLATION TRIM KIT

1. Lay the support beams flat on the bottom of the cabinet cutout with the open sides facing each other (see Figure 1).
   • To gauge proper width, temporarily place the rear and front brackets onto the support beams so the rear bracket lips slide into rear holes on top of the beams and the front screw holes match to the front of the beams (see Figure 2).
   • Once aligned, secure the beams by fastening the four #1 screws with washers into the cabinet base below (see Figure 3).
2. Remove the screws from the front bottom of your microwave. Using two of those screws, secure the front bracket to the bottom of the microwave, ensuring the lip of the bracket is extending down and facing you. Next, remove the screws from the back bottom of the microwave and fasten the rear bracket, ensuring the two small lips are extended down and facing back (see Figures 4 and 5).
3. Lay the outer trim face down and, using eight of the #2 screws, install the four buckles on the corresponding mounting holes around the trim kit (see Figure 6). Make sure to use the same series of mounting holes on each corner, depending on your cabinet cutout (see Figure 7).
4. Next, slide the outer trim into the cabinet cutout and use a marker or pencil to mark where the buckles line up. Then, remove the trim and secure the four buckle seats into the cabinet using the other eight #2 screws (see Figure 8). Make sure the clamp of the bucket seats are facing toward you (see Figure 9).
5. Using two people, lift the microwave and push it into the cabinet until the two small lips in the rear bracket slide into both holes in the rear of the support beams fastened in Step 1 to the bottom of the cutout (see Figure 10).
6. Use the two #3 screws to fasten the front bracket to the front of both support beams (see Figure 11). The microwave should now be firmly secured inside the cabinet cutout (see Figure 12).
7. Insert the outer trim kit into the cutout (see Figure 13). Clip each buckle onto its corresponding buckle seat to complete the trim kit installation (see Figure 14).
