Installation Instructions

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 the word “DANGER”, “WARNING”, or “CAUTION”. These words are defined as:
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

A qualified electrician must perform a ground continuity check on the wall receptacle before beginning the installation to ensure that the outlet box is properly grounded. If not properly grounded, or if the wall receptacle does not meet electrical requirements noted (under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualified electrician should be employed to correct any deficiencies.
WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock. Can cause injury or death: Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation to avoid severe or fatal shock injury.

Ensure proper ground exists before use

WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock. Can cause injury or death: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED to avoid severe or fatal shock.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle, installed by a qualified electrician.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

WARNING Can cause injury or death: DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut, deform or remove any of the prongs from the power cord. Do not use with an extension cord. Failure to comply may cause fire.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 14.5 amps and 1.7 kilowatts. This product must be connected to a supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency. Wire size must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code for this kilowatt rating. The power supply cord and plug should be brought to a separate 15- to 20-ampere branch circuit single grounded outlet. The outlet box should be located in the cabinet above the microwave oven. The outlet box and supply circuit should be installed by a qualified electrician and conform to the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

CAUTION For personal safety, the
mounting surface must be capable of supporting the cabinet load, in addition to the added weight of this 6385 pound product, plus additional oven loads of up to 50 pounds or a total weight of 113135 pounds.

CAUTION

For personal safety, this product cannot be installed in cabinet arrangements such as an island or a peninsula. It must be mounted to BOTH a top cabinet AND a wall.

CAUTION

To avoid the risk of personal injury (back injury or other injuries due to excessive weight of the microwave oven) or property damage, you will need two people to install this microwave oven.

HOOD EXHAUST

Installation Instructions

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 31»4[UHFWDQJXODURUGLDPHWHUURXQG duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT. Read the following carefully.
NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible. This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and nothing is blocking the ducts.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 31»4[UHFWDQJXODUGXFW
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than a 6 diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:

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 below shows you how to calculate total equivalent ductwork length using the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes with the microwave installation. Remove the decorative trim to install the microwave properly and to make it level.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE LEVEL
Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with no back or side frame, install the mounting plate down the same distance as the front overhang depth. This will keep the microwave level. 1 Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
2 Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth of the front overhang.
3 For this type of installation with front overhang only, align the Rear Wall Template with this horizontal line, not touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

A6. WHEN REPLACING THE CHARCOAL FILTER
If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors.
The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12 months, depending on hood usage). See your Owner’s Manual for the filter kit number.
To replace the charcoal filter:
1 Open the microwave door.
2 Remove 2 screws from the top of the grille. (You may need to open the cabinet doors to remove the screws.
3 Slide the grille to the left and forward to remove.

4 Tighten the two screws to the top of the oven completely. (While tightening screws, hold the oven in place against the wall and the top cabinet.)

5 Install grease filters. See the Owner’s Manual packed with the oven.

4 Slide the old filter down and out to remove it.
5 Remove plastic and other outer wrapping from the new filter and install the new filter. When properly installed, the wire mesh of the filter should be visible from the front.

OPTION 1 NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS IN THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THIS REAR WALL TEMPLATE. This Rear Wall Template serves to position the bottom mounting plate and to locate the horizontal exhaust outlet. 1. Use a level to check that the template is positioned
accurately. 2. Locate and mark at least one stud on the left or
right side of the centerline. NOTE:It is important to use at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud to support the weight of the microwave. Mark two additional, evenly spaced locations for the supplied toggle bolts. 3. Drill holes in the marked locations. Where there is
a stud, drill a 3/16″ hole for wood screws. For holes that do not line up with a stud, drill 5/8″ holes for toggle bolts. NOTE::DO NOT INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE AT THIS TIME. 4. Remove the template from the rear wall. 5. Review the Installation Instruction book for your installation situation.

5 Locate the two “knockout” plates, on the rear oven panel, near the top of the oven. Using tin snips, carefully cut the web area from the two holes side-by-side (that secure the knockouts to the oven). Cut all four webs on both rear knockouts; this will allow the ventilation fan airflow to exhaust out the rear of the oven.
CAUTION Be sure to trim the sharp
edges from the openings after removing the knockout plates.

Snip all 4 webs on each knockout panel and remove the metal knockouts for rear airflow.
6 Place the blower unit back into the opening.
