LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

A Grounded 3 Prong Outlet
B Bottom edge of cabinet needs to be 30^ (76.2cm) or more from the cooking surface.
C Backsplash
D 66^ (167.6cm) or more from the floor to the top of the microwave

• The space between the cabinets on each side of the range must be at least 24" (61 cm) wide and free of obstructions.
• Grounded electrical outlet inside overhead cabinet. See "Electrical Requirements" section.
• If you are going to vent the microwave oven to the outside, see "Install Microwave Oven" for exhaust and duct preparation.
• When installing the microwave oven beneath smooth, flat cabinets, follow the instructions on the Top Cabinet template for power cord clearance.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical shock.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz and 1500 watts. This product must be connected to a supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency.

The power supply cord and plug should be brought to a separate 15 to 20 ampere branch circuit single grounded 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected microwave:

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.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit breaker box before installing microwave.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install microwave oven.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. Using two or more people move the microwave close to the installation site.
2. Open the four flaps on the carton top. From the top of the microwave, remove the foam packing that contains the turntable and turntable ring.

NOTE: Do not remove the foam packing from the front of the oven.

1. Open the top of the plastic bag. Using two people, lift the microwave out of the carton and gently set it front down on the foam packing. Remove the grease filters and User Manual from the carton.

Foam Packing

Carton

1. Locate and remove the two screws attaching the mounting plate to the back of the oven, and then remove the mounting plate.

NOTE: The mounting plate will be used as the wall template and to mount the microwave oven onto the wall.

A Screws

B Mounting Plate (Wall Template)

1. Replace the two screws into the holes from which they were removed.

IMPORTANT: The microwave must be installed to at least one wall stud, preferably two wall studs. If there is no wall stud within the cabinet opening, do not install the microwave oven.

1. Find the studs using one of the following methods:

Stud finder - a magnetic device that locates nails.

OR

Using a hammer, tap lightly across the mounting surface while listening for a solid sound. A solid sound indicates a stud location.

1. After 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 halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should be 16" (40.6 cm) or 24" (61 cm) from this mark.
2. Mark the center of the adjacent stud, and then draw a vertical plumb line down the center of each stud.

STEP 3 - ALIGN REAR WALL TEMPLATE AND MARK WALL

Overhead cabinet styles vary. Follow the instructions that apply to the cabinet style in your home.

IMPORTANT: Disconnect power to electrical outlet.

STYLE 1 - FLAT-Bottom CABINET

IMPORTANT: The microwave must be level. Use a carpenter's level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.

1. Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 24" (61 cm) wide opening.
2. Place the Mounting Plate/Rear Wall Template onto the wall so that the centerline of the template is aligned with the center line, and the top of the template is touching the bottom of the cabinet. Tape the template in this position.

STYLE 2 - FRAMED, RECESSED CABINET

IMPORTANT: The microwave must be level. Use a carpenter's level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.

1. Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 24" (61 cm) wide opening.
2. Place the Mounting Plate/Rear Wall Template onto the wall so that the centerline of the template is aligned with the center line, and the top of the template is touching the bottom of the cabinet. Tape the template in this position.

STYLE 3 - RECESSED CABINET WITH FRONT OVERHANG OR DECORATIVE TRIM

IMPORTANT:

• The microwave must be level. Use a carpenter's level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
• If a decorative cabinet trim is interfering with the installation and leveling of the microwave oven, remove the decorative trim.

• If the cabinets have a front overhang, but no back or side overhang, to keep the microwave level, place the mounting plate so that the distance from the top of the mounting plate to the cabinet bottom is equal to the distance from the bottom of the front overhang to the bottom of the cabinet.

• Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.

• Draw a horizontal line on the back wall that is the same distance below the cabinet bottom as the depth of the front overhang.

A Center Line
B Draw a line on the back wall equal to the depth of the front overhang

1. Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 24" (61 cm) wide opening.
2. Place the Mounting Plate/Rear Wall Template onto the wall so that the centerline of the template is aligned with the center line, and the top of the template is the same distance below the cabinet bottom as the depth of the front overhang. Tape the template in this position.

STEP 4 - DRILL HOLES FOR MOUNTING MICROWAVE OVEN

IMPORTANT: At LEAST one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud must be used to support the weight of the microwave.

1. Draw a horizontal line on the wall marking the bottom of the Rear Wall Template.
2. Locate holes A and B inside the Mounting Plate Area indicated on the rear wall template.
3. Place the mounting plate on top of the rear wall template centered in the Mounting Plate Area so that the holes on the mounting plate align with the holes on the template.
4. Mark the wall through holes A and B.

IMPORTANT: If neither Hole A nor Hole B aligns with a stud, locate a stud within the mounting plate area and mark a third hole that aligns with the stud.

1. Remove the mounting plate and set it aside. Drill holes in the marked locations.

NOTE: A wood screw must be used when installing into a wood stud.

• Drill a 5 / 8 hole to use a toggle bolt

• Drill a 3 / 16 hole to use a wood screw.

• DO NOT INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE AT THIS TIME.
