UNPACK DRAWER MICROWAVE

Remove all packing materials from inside the Drawer Microwave. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the top of the Drawer Microwave.

Remove the feature sticker, if there is one. Check the drawer for any damage, such as misaligned or bent drawer, damaged drawer seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose Drawer Microwave guides and dents inside the cavity or on the front side of the drawer. If there is any damage, do not operate the Drawer Microwave and contact your dealer.

Diagram Description: A diagram shows the interior top of the microwave drawer, labeling the 'Waveguide Cover', 'Sealing Surface' on the drawer front and cavity, and the 'Oven Cavity'.

CLEARANCES AND DIMENSIONS

Dimensions that are shown in Figure 1 must be used for Standard Installation. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. Locate electrical outlet in the shaded area in the upper left-hand corner of the cutout. See Figure 4.

Contact surface must be solid and level. Pay special attention to the floor on which the Drawer Microwave will sit. The floor of the opening should be constructed of plywood strong enough to support the weight of the oven (about 100 pounds).

Check location where the Drawer Microwave will be installed for proper electrical supply.

Your oven can be built into a cabinet or wall by itself or under a gas, under an electric wall oven, or under selected cook top models.

Be sure that the clearance of the floor between the wall oven and the drawer microwave is a minimum of 2-inches.

The microwave interior will easily accommodate a 9" x 13" oblong dish or a bag of microwave popcorn.

The oven can also be mounted flush. Please see instructions for flush mounting included with the Flush Mount Deflector vent.

24" DRAWER MICROWAVE MEASUREMENTS

Figures 1 and 2 contain many drawer microwave measurements for reference when planning the drawer location.

This drawer microwave can be installed below any electric or gas wall oven or under selected cook top models.

Can also be installed using an electrical outlet in an adjacent cabinet within the areas where the provided electrical cord can reach. Power cord access hole in cabinet should be a minimum of 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.

Diagram Description (Figure 1): Figure 1 shows a side view of the microwave drawer installation in a cabinet. It indicates the countertop height (36"), cabinet width (minimum 24"), and various clearances. Key dimensions include: 22 1/8" for the drawer opening width, 15 15/16" for the drawer front width, and 14 13/16" for the anti-tip block placement above the floor. It also shows the preferred electrical outlet location and the floor support requirement of 100 lbs.

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-inches above the floor on which the Drawer Microwave will sit. The anti-tip block must be provided and pre-installed by the purchaser of the product or builder before install can be done. The anti-tip block is not provided by installer. See Figures 1 and 2. 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.

Diagram Description (Figure 3): Figure 3 illustrates the placement of the anti-tip block, showing it mounted 14 13/16 inches above the floor, with dimensions of 6 inches by 3 1/2 inches.

ELECTRIC 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 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.

Diagram Description (Figure 4): Figure 4 shows a side view of a cabinet opening with the preferred electrical outlet location marked. It indicates dimensions of 5 inches and 4 inches for clearance around the outlet.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

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 appliance.

Diagram Description: A diagram shows a permanent and correct installation with a 3-prong plug, grounding pin, 3-prong receptacle, and grounded receptacle box.

DRAWER INSTALLATION

1. Place the drawer adjacent to the wall or cabinet opening. Plug the power supply cord into the electrical outlet.

2. Loop (do not tie) a 36" (91 cm) string around the power supply cord before the drawer is slid into place. This will keep the cord from falling behind the drawer.

3. Lift drawer into cabinet cutout using the opening as a grip. Carefully guide the drawer into the prepared opening.

4. As you slide the drawer back, pull the string so that the cord will lie on top of the drawer in a natural loop and avoid pinching the cord between the drawer and the wall.

5. When you are sure the cord is out of the way, slide the drawer ½ way back into the opening. Remove the string by pulling on one end of the loop.

6. Slide the drawer all the way until the mounting flange is flush with the face of the cabinet. See Figure 5.

7. Open the drawer. Using the 4 holes on the mounting flanges as a template, drill pilot holes the cabinet using a 1/16" drill bit. See Figure 5.

8. Secure the drawer with the 4 screws supplied. It is recommended that the screws be hand tightened.
