IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet. The installer must perform u g.o,r.rA .ontinuity check on the power outlet box before beginning the
installation to insure that the outlet box ii properly grounded. If not properly grounded, or if ine buttlt
box does not meet electrical requirements noted (under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualified electrician should be employed to correcr any deficiencies.
CAUTION: For personal safeff, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation to avoid severe or fatal shock injury.
CAUTION: For personal safety, the mounting surface must be capable of supportingthe cabinet lold, in addition to the adrled weight of *ris 63-95 pound
(28.5-38.5 kg) product, plus additional oven loads of yp to !0 pounds (22.T kd or a totat weight of
113-135 pounds (51.3-01.2 kg). CAUTION: For personal safety, this product cannot be installed in cabinet arrangements such as an island or ap-eninsula. It must be mounted to BOTH a top cabinet AND a wall. NOTE: For easier installation and personal safety, it is recommended that two people install this produit. IMPORTANT _ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, 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 minim2e the possibility of electric shockhazard " from this appliance.
You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard twoprong wall receptacle is encountered, it is very important to have it replaced
yth.q properly qolnled threeprong wall reieptacle,
installed by a qualified electrician.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUf, DEFORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps and 1.6 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 giounded 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.

B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate a stud location.
@ Rt"r locating the stud(s), find the center by
probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud. Then place a mark halfiray between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should be 16" (40.6 cm) or 24' (61cm) from this mark.

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. lf 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.
Z.Draw a horizontal line on the back watl an equal distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth of the front overhang.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXTERNAL EXHAUST DUCTING
NOTE: If vou need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 3t/+" x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangulal 9r 5" (10.5 cm)diameter/ 6" (15.2cm) diameterroundduct should not exceed L20 equivalent feet (36.5 m).
Outside ventilation requires a EXTERNAL 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 exhaust adaptor has been designed to mate with a standard 3Vl' x 10" (8.2 x25.4 cm) rectangular duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3Vs" x 10" (8.2 x25.4 cm) rectangular or 5" (10.5 cm) diameter,/ 6" (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceedl20 equivalent feet (36.5 m).
Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps,
gtc., 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.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. A 5"(l0.5cm)/ 6"(15.2cm) diameter duct is acceptable to use
