Figures 1 and 2 contain many Drawer Microwave measurements for reference when planning the drawer’s location.
This Drawer Microwave can be installed below any electric or gas wall oven.

• Can also be installed using an electrical outlet in an adjacent cabinet within the area where the provided electrical cord can reach. Power cord access hole in cabinet should be a minimum 1-1/2″ diameter hole and deburred of all sharp edges.
  IMPORTANT – Always allow sufficient power cord length to the electrical outlet to prevent tension. Always check electrical codes for requirements.

ANTI-TIP BLOCK

NORMAL INSTALLATION STEPS

ANTI-TIP BLOCK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• To reduce the risk of tipping of the drawer, the Anti-Tip block must be properly installed located 14-13/16″ above the floor on which the appliance will sit. The 6″ Anti-Tip block must be provided by the installer. See figure 1 and 3. The Anti-Tip block prevents serious injury that might result from spilled hot liquids.
• If the Drawer Microwave is ever moved to a different location, the Anti-Tip block must also be moved and installed. When installed to the wall, make sure that the screws completely penetrate the dry wall and are secured in wood or metal so that the block is totally stable. When fastening, be sure that the screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.
  

ELECTRICAL OUTLET

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
The Drawer Microwave is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It 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 wall receptacle.
Note: If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.

• Can also be installed using an electrical outlet in an adjacent cabinet within the area where the provided electrical cord can reach.
  Always check electrical codes for requirements.
