Grounding instructions

This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding 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.

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

Electrical requirements

Check the Installation Instructions for proper location for the power supply.

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp. or more protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the microwave oven be provided.

The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

Opening for power cord

If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

The power supply cord and plug must be connected to a separate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch circuit, single grounded receptacle. The receptacle should be located inside the cabinet directly above the microwave oven mounting location as shown above.

Notes • If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person. • does not accept any liability for damage to the microwave oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.

• Read this User Guide and always save it for reference.
• A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints, and recipes.
• NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.
  • ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
• When using the microwave oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.
• It is normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
• Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
  • The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
• Your microwave oven is rated at 1000 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of the dish.
• Watch the cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check the recipe or cookbook for suggestions, such as paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap, or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
  • Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
• Add standing time. Remove the food from the microwave oven and stir, if possible. Cover for the standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached. Doneness signs include:

• Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
• Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
• Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

The outside surface is pre-coated steel and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

Door

Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak, or dull the door surface.

Control panel

If the control panel is dirty, open the microwave door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close the door and press STOP/CLEAR to clear any buttons you may have pressed.

Cleaning the inside of your microwave

Interior

Wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads. For baked-on food, use baking soda or a mild soap, then rinse thoroughly with hot water.

To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of water (add lemon juice if you want to keep your microwave fresh smelling) in a four-cup measuring cup at high power for five minutes or until boiling. Let it cool in the microwave, then wipe the interior with a soft cloth.

Waveguide cover

The waveguide cover is located on the right wall inside your microwave. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.

Removing odors

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave. To remove, combine one cup water, lemon juice, and several whole cloves in a two-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes at high power, then let it cool in the microwave. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth.

Turntable and turntable support

Remove the turntable and turntable support and wash them in mild, sudsy water. For stubborn stains, use a mild cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. You can also wash them in the top rack of a dishwasher.

The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.

Cleaning and replacing the filters

Cleaning the exhaust filters

The exhaust filters should be removed and cleaned about once a month.

CAUTION: Do not operate the oven hood without the filters properly in place.

Mounting requirements

• The space between the cabinets must be 30 in. (76.2 cm) wide. If the space between the cabinets is more than 30 in. (76.2 cm), you'll need filler material to fill the gap between the microwave and cabinets.
• This microwave is for installation over ranges up to 36 in. (91.4 cm) wide.
• If installing the microwave beneath smooth, flat cabinets, make sure that you leave enough space for the power cord clearance.
• If you are going to vent your exhaust to the outside, see "Exhaust requirements" on page 8 for exhaust duct preparation.

16-1/2 in. (41.9 cm) 30 in. (76.2 cm) 2 in. (5.1 cm) 30 in. (76.2 cm) 66 in. (167.6 cm) or more from the floor to the top of the microwave

Exhaust requirements

Use this section if you plan to vent your microwave outside (top or back exhaust). If you plan to recirculate the air back into the room, skip to "Removing your microwave" on page 9.

When installing exhaust vents:

• Use the most direct route with as few elbows/transitions as possible. This helps prevent blockages and ensures that the exhaust is being vented correctly.
• Your microwave is designed to mate with a standard 3-1/4" × 10" rectangular duct. If a round duct is required a rectangular-to-round transition adapter must be used. Do not use a duct with a diameter less than 6".

Note

If a rectangular-to-round transition adapter is used, you must cut the bottom corners of the damper with tin snips to let the damper have free movement.

- Elbows, transitions, and wall/roof caps add resistance to airflow. Each of these pieces are equivalent to a section of straight duct that is longer than their actual physical size. When calculating your duct length, add the equivalent lengths of all the pieces together. For proper airflow, the equivalent airflow should not exceed 120 ft. For example:

Duct Pieces	Equivalent Length	×	Number Used	=	Total Equivalent Length
Roof cap	40 ft.	×	(1)	=	40 ft.
90° elbow	10 ft.	×	(2)	=	20 ft.
Straight duct 6" round OR 3-1/4" × 10" rectangular	3 ft.	×	(1)	=	3 ft.
Total ductwork = 63 ft. For proper airflow, this number should not exceed 120 ft.

Use the "Equivalent duct length table" on page 9 to calculate the equivalent duct-work length for your setup.

Note

Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.

Equivalent duct length table

To calculate your equivalent duct length:

1 Write the number of sections used for each of the duct pieces.
2 Multiply the number used by the equivalent length for each duct piece.
3 Add the total equivalent lengths together. This number must be less than 120 ft.

Duct Pieces		Equivalent Length	×	Number Used	=	Total Equivalent Length
	Rectangular-to-round transition adapter	5 ft.	×	( )	=	ft.
	Wall cap	40 ft.	×	( )	=	ft.
	90° elbow	10 ft.	×	( )	=	ft.
	45° elbow	5 ft.	×	( )	=	ft.
	90° elbow	25 ft.	×	( )	=	ft.
	45° elbow	5 ft.	×	( )	=	ft.
	Roof cap	24 ft.	×	( )	=	ft.
[Y608]	Straight duct 6" round OR 3-1/4" × 10" rectangular	1 ft.	×	( )	=	ft.
Total ductwork =						ft.(For proper airflow, this number should not exceed 120 ft.)

Installing your microwave

Step 1: Find the wall studs

Warning

Your microwave must be connected to at least one wall stud.

1 Using an edge-to-edge stud finder, locate the edges of the wall stud(s) within the opening.

Warning

The center of any adjacent wall studs should be 16" or 24" from this mark.

2 Mark the center of each stud, and then draw a vertical line down the center of each stud.

Wall stud Center of the wall stud You'll need: Edge-to-edge stud finder Ruler or tape measure Pencil

Step 2: Align the rear wall template

NOTE:

If the rear wall template is damaged or unusable, see "Rear wall template dimensions" on page 40 for dimensions.

1 Use a level to make sure that the bottom of the cabinet is level.
2 Draw a vertical line down the center of the wall in the mounting space.
This is where the center of your template will be.

Step 5: Option A - Preparing the top cabinet

Notes

If the top cabinet template is damaged or unusable, see "Top cabinet template dimensions" on page 41 for dimensions.

You need to drill holes for the top support screws, a hole large enough for the power cord to fit through, and a cutout large enough for the exhaust adapter.

1 Turn off the power to the outlet in the cabinet.
2 Remove everything from the cabinet.
3 Trim the Top Cabinet Template along the dotted line.
4 If the bottom of your cabinet is recessed and the template is too large, trim the edges to fit. Your template should fit snugly inside the space with no overhang.

Note

• Make sure that you keep the left and right sides even. For example, if you need to trim the sides by 1", cut 1/2" from the left side and 1/2" from the right side.
• Some cabinets have a small bracket or glue block between the overhang and the underside of the cabinet bottom. Cut the template to fit around these so it lies flat on the bottom of the cabinet.

5 To position the Top Cabinet Template:

• Align the center line on the template with the center line that you drew on the wall.
• Align the back edge of the template to the rear wall (smooth or flat bottom cabinets) or to the back of the recess (recessed cabinets) to make sure that the holes cut into the upper cabinet align with the holes in the top of the microwave.
