Electrical Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Required:

A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp 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 Drawer

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. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install the Anti-Tip Block

To reduce the risk of tipping of the drawer, the Anti-Tip block must be properly installed located 14 13/16” (37.6 cm) above the floor on which the Microwave Drawer will sit. If the Microwave Drawer is ever moved to a different location, the Anti-Tip block must also be moved and installed.

Measure 14 13/16” from the cutout floor where the Microwave Drawer will sit and mark a line on the wall.
Position the bottom of the anti-tip block on the line marked on the wall and attach the anti-tip block to the wall with screws. Make sure the screws are secured to wood or metal studs.

NOTES:

The anti-tip block is required before installing the Microwave Oven Drawer.
The anti-tip block is to be provided by the installer.
When fastening, be sure that the screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.
