The outlet should NOT be in the shaded area as indicated in Figure 1. [Diagram Description: Figure 1 shows a cabinet opening with dimensions labeled A (Height), B (Width), and C (Depth), indicating a shaded area where the outlet should not be placed.]

Notes:

• If the dimension of DEPTH (C) is more than 21" (533.4 mm), the outlet location may be any area on the rear wall.
• The floor of the opening should be constructed of plywood strong enough to support the weight of the oven and floor load (about 100 lb/45 kg). The floor should be level and 90° with the face of the cabinet for proper installation and operation. Check local building codes regarding enclosure requirements (sides, ceiling, rear partition). The oven's proper functioning does not require enclosure.
• Please allow a minimum 3" (76 mm) wood gap between the microwave oven cutout and the appliance cutout below the microwave oven. See Figure 2. [Diagram Description: Figure 2 illustrates the 3-inch minimum gap requirement between the microwave oven opening and a lower appliance opening.]

Align the front edge of the right side of the duct with the front of the shelf. [Diagram Description: Figure 3 shows the exhaust duct assembly being positioned within the cabinet opening.]
2. Secure the Exhaust Duct Assembly with 2 SCREWS D. [Diagram Description: Figure 3 shows the exhaust duct assembly being secured with two 'Screw D' fasteners.]

STEP 3 - FRAME INSTALLATION

1. Place the oven adjacent to the wall or cabinet opening. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
2. Carefully guide the assembled oven into the prepared opening. Slide the oven onto the EXHAUST DUCT ASSEMBLY. Avoid pinching the cord between the oven and the wall. [Diagram Description: Figure 4 shows an arrow indicating the oven being slid into the opening.]
3. Adjust the position of the oven so the feet of the oven are fitted into the recesses of the EXHAUST DUCT ASSEMBLY and the door opens properly. [Diagram Description: Figure 5 illustrates the oven's feet fitting into designated recesses within the exhaust duct assembly.]
4. BACK FRAME INSTALLATION: Position BACK FRAME with equal space top to bottom, side to side. Mark for 4 holes on the installed wood cleats, center punch, and pre-drill with a 1/16" drill bit. Secure frame with 4 SCREWS E. [Diagram Description: Figure 7 shows the back frame being positioned and marked for screw holes, indicating equal spacing.]
5. Install Air Deflectors top and bottom. Center (left and right) the Air Deflectors above and below the installed BACK FRAME. Secure AIR DEFLECTORS with 4 SCREWS E. Mark holes and pre-drill the wood cleats with a 1/16" drill bit. [Diagram Description: Figure 8 shows air deflectors being installed above and below the back frame.]
6. FRONT FRAME INSTALLATION: Place the FRONT FRAME onto the BACK FRAME and align ball studs and receivers. Secure the FRONT FRAME to the BACK FRAME by firmly pushing the FRONT FRAME onto the BACK FRAME, engaging the 4 snap attachments. [Diagram Description: Figures 9 and 10 illustrate the front frame being attached to the back frame via snap attachments.]

DISASSEMBLY (if applicable for frame separation)

The FRONT FRAME and BACK FRAME come pre-assembled with ball studs engaged in the receivers. Separate the FRONT FRAME from the BACK FRAME. Place the assembly facedown onto a protected surface. At the location of the ball stud, insert a flathead screwdriver between the FRONT FRAME and the BACK FRAME and gently pry up to disengage the ball stud from the receiver. Repeat for each corner. [Diagram Description: Figure 6 shows how to use a screwdriver to pry apart the front and back frames at the ball stud connection points.]

Flush Installation Instructions

STEP 1 - CABINET OR WALL OPENING

The opening in the wall or cabinet must be within the following dimensions:

The outlet should NOT be in the shaded area H as indicated in Figure 1. [Diagram Description: Figure 1 shows a top and front view of a flush installation opening with dimensions A through I labeled, and a shaded area H indicating the prohibited outlet location.]

Notes:

• Allow minimum 3" (76 mm) wood gap between the microwave oven cutout and the appliance cutout below the microwave oven. See Figure 2. [Diagram Description: Figure 2 illustrates the 3-inch minimum gap requirement between the microwave oven opening and a lower appliance opening.]
• The floor of the opening should be constructed of plywood strong enough to support the weight of the oven and floor load (about 100 lb/45 kg). The floor should be level and 90° with the face of the cabinet for proper installation and operation. Check local building codes regarding enclosure requirements (sides, ceiling, rear partition). The oven's proper functioning does not require enclosure.
• Dimension C (Height) will result in 1 1/4" (31.8 mm) spaces above and below the trim to allow for necessary intake and exhaust air flow to ensure the appliance does not overheat. Do not reduce this spacing, as doing so will void the warranty for any issues resulting from a lack of airflow.

STEP 2 - EXHAUST DUCT ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
