IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
⚠️ If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or electrical shock may result that could cause property damage, personal injury, or death.
⚠️ To reduce the risk of tipping, the Microwave Drawer must be secured by a properly installed Anti-Tip block.
This Microwave Drawer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes.
Make sure the wall coverings and the cabinets around the Microwave Drawer can withstand the heat generated by the Microwave Drawer.
⚠️ Never leave children alone or unattended in the area where a Microwave Drawer is in use. Never leave the drawer open when the microwave is unattended.
⚠️ Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the drawer may result in serious injuries and can also cause damage to the Microwave Drawer.
Do not use the Microwave Drawer as a storage space. This creates a potentially hazardous situation.
Check that the time-of-day is in the display. If not, touch Stop/Clear to prevent unintended use.
CLEARANCES AND DIMENSIONS
Dimensions shown in Figure 1 must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. Locate electrical outlet in the shaded area in the upper left-hand corner of the cutout. See Figure 3.
Contact surface must be solid and level. Pay special attention to the floor on which the Microwave Drawer 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 Microwave Drawer will be installed for proper electrical supply.
Your oven can be built into a cabinet or wall by itself or under a gas or electric wall oven.
Be sure that the clearance of the floor between the wall oven and the microwave drawer is a minimum of 2 inches.
The microwave interior will easily accommodate a 9" x 13" oblong dish or a bag of microwave popcorn.

Figures 1 and 2 provide measurements for planning the drawer's location. This Microwave Drawer can be installed below any electric or gas wall oven.
It can also be installed using an electrical outlet in an adjacent cabinet within reach of the provided electrical cord. The power cord access hole in the cabinet should be a minimum 1 1/2 inch diameter hole and debarred 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
Figure 3 Description: Illustrates the anti-tip block, a 6-inch component, and its precise mounting location 14 13/16 inches above the floor.
NORMAL INSTALLATION STEPS - ANTI-TIP BLOCK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
- To reduce the risk of tipping, the Anti-Tip block must be properly installed 14 13/16 inches above the floor. The 6-inch Anti-Tip block must be provided by the installer. See Figures 1 and 3.
- The Anti-Tip block prevents serious injury that might result from spilled hot liquids.
- If the Microwave Drawer is ever moved, the Anti-Tip block must also be moved and installed.
- When installing to the wall, ensure screws completely penetrate drywall and are secured in wood or metal for stability.
- When fastening, be sure screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.
ELECTRICAL OUTLET
Figure 4 Description: Depicts the recommended placement for the electrical outlet within the cabinet, approximately 4 inches from the wall.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
- 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.
- If you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct wall receptacle.
- Note: If you have any questions about grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.
- An electrical outlet can also be installed in an adjacent cabinet within reach of the provided electrical cord. Always check electrical codes for requirements.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. The Microwave Drawer is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire and plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
⚠️ 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.
DRAWER INSTALLATION

Installation Steps:
- Place the drawer adjacent to the wall or cabinet opening. Plug the power supply cord into the electrical outlet.
- Carefully guide the drawer into the prepared opening. Avoid pinching the cord between the oven and the wall.
- Slide the drawer all the way until the mounting flange is flush with the face of the cabinet. See Figure 5.
- Open the drawer. Using the 4 holes on the drawer as a template, pre-drill the cabinet using a 1/16" bit. See Figure 5.
- Secure the drawer with the 4 screws supplied. See Figure 6.
