DANGER WARNING2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Tools and Parts Tools Needed Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here. Parts Supplied (not shown to scale) Location Requirements The microwave oven may be installed over a built-in oven. If installing over a built-in oven, make sure there is a minimum of 3" (7.6 cm) between the top of the lower oven cutout and the microwave oven cutout floor. The microwave oven may also be installed in a cabinet by itself (without a built-in oven below). For best usability, we recommend a minimum distance of 36" (91.4 cm) from the floor to the cutout floor. Make sure the surrounding cabinetry has clearance to open and close freely. Allow a clearance of at least 1⁹⁄₁₆" (4.0 cm) below the cutout floor (3" [7.6 cm] for installation above a built-in oven), and a clearance of at least 2" (5.1 cm) above the cutout opening. Required Cutout Dimensions NOTES: ■ Height dimension is critical: 17" (43.2 cm) minimum, 17¹⁄₈" (43.5 cm) maximum. ■ Width and depth measurements have ±1/16" (2 mm) tolerance. ■ 3" (7.6 cm) minimum dimension is from lower oven cutout ceiling to microwave oven cutout floor. ■ Trim kit frame extends 1¹⁄₁₆" (2.7 cm) above and below the cutout opening.

Prepare Cutout/Cabinet Opening 1. On the cutout floor, find and mark the centerline.2. Place the bottom duct in the opening, with the flange resting against the bottom front facing of the opening. Electrical Shock HazardPlug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.Do not remove ground prong.Do not use an adapter.Do not use an extension cord.Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. WARNING GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For all cord connected appliances:The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven 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.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can

result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly grounded. 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 microwave oven. A. Rails (2) B. Microwave oven bottom C.

pilot holes into the front facing of the cutout/cabinet through the mounting hole guides in the upper and lower corners of the trim kit frame. NOTES: ■ The holes will be drilled downward from the top, and upward from the bottom at an angle of about 45°. ■ To avoid damage to the trim kit frame, do not overtighten screws.

3. Secure trim kit frame to cutout/cabinet by installing four long

wood screws (painted) into the pilot holes drilled in Step 2 above. Installation is now complete. Replace any loose items that have been removed from microwave oven cavity.
