Installation Instructions
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.The installer must perform a ground continuity check on the power outlet box before beginning the installation to insure that the outlet box is properlygrounded. If not properly grounded, or if the outlet box does not meet electrical requirements noted (under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualifiedelectrician should be employed to correct anydeficiencies.
CAUTION: For personal safety, 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 supporting the cabinet load, in addition to the added weight of this 63–85 pound(28.5–38.5 kg) product, plus additional oven loads ofup to 50 pounds (22.7 kg) or a total weight of113–135 pounds (51.3–61.2 kg).
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.
NOTE: For easier installation and personal safety, it is recommended that two people install this product.IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE OR FATAL SHOCK.
The power cord of thisappliance 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.
You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checkedby a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle isproperly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is very important to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle,installed by a qualified electrician.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,DEFORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align exhaust with space between studs, or wall should be preparedat the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the totalduct length of 31⁄4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or6” (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceed120 equivalent feet (36.5 m).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 preventblockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely andnothing is blocking the ducts.
Exhaust connection: The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 31⁄4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular duct.If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than a 6” (15.2 cm) diameter duct.
Maximum duct length: For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 31⁄4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6” (15.2 cm)diameter round duct should not exceed 120 equivalentfeet (36.5 m).
Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps,etc., present additional resistance to airflow and areequivalent to a section of straight duct which is longerthan their actual physical size. When calculating the totalduct length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitionsand adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections.The chart below shows you how to calculate totalequivalent ductwork length using the approximate feetof equivalent length of some typical ducts.

Find the studs, using one of the following methods:A. Stud finder – a magnetic device which
locates nails.OR
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate a stud location.
After locating the stud(s), find the center by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edgesof the stud. Then place a mark halfway betweenthe edges. The center of any adjacent studs shouldbe 16″ (40.6 cm) or 24″ (61 cm) from this mark.Draw a line down the center of the studs.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

DETERMINING WALL PLATE LOCATION UNDER YOUR CABINETC.
Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes with the microwave installation. Remove the decorative trim to install the microwave properlyand 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.
Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal distance below the cabinet bottom as the insidedepth of the front overhang.For this type of installation with front overhang only,align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, nottouching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

ALIGNING THE WALL PLATE
Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30″ (76.2 cm) wide space.Use the mounting plate as the template for the rearwall. Place the mounting plate on the wall, making sure that the tabs are touching the bottom of the cabinet or the level line drawn in Step C for cabinetswith front overhang. Line up the notch and centerlineon the bottom of the mounting plate to the centerlineon the wall.While holding the mounting plate with one hand, draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C and D (see illustration above/actual plate marked witharrows). Four holes must be used for mounting.
NOTE: If neither C nor D is in a stud, find a studsomewhere in area E and draw a fifth circle to line upwith the stud. It is important to use at least one woodscrew mounted firmly in a stud to support the weightof the microwave.Set the mounting plate aside.Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3⁄16″hole for wood screws. For holes that don’t line up witha stud, drill a 5⁄8″ hole for toggle bolts.NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.
