FINDING THE WALL STUDS

1. Use a stud fi nder to locate the wall stud. If a stud fi nder is not available, use a hammer to tap lightly on the wall to fi nd a solid sound. This sound indicates the location of the wall stud.
2. Find the center of the wall stud by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud. Draw a line down the center of the wall stud.

Note: The microwave must be connected to at least one wall stud.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE INSTALLATION TEMPLATE

There are three different types of cabinetry that will change how the rear wall template should be used to determine where to install the mounting bracket.

1. Flat bottomed cabinet: The top of the template should align with the bottom of the cabinet.
2. Framed recessed cabinet: The top of the template should align with the back frame of the cabinet bottom.
3. Framed recessed bottom cabinet with front overhang: The top of the template should align with the front overhang. It may be helpful to measure the overhang, then measure the same distance from the bottom of the cabinet and mark that spot.

Notes:

• Any decorative trim on the cabinetry or wall should be removed before installing the microwave.
• Use a level to ensure that the template is level before marking the wall. The microwave must be level to ensure proper functioning.
• At least three screws must be used to install the mounting plate. At least one of those screws must be in a wall stud.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

- Tape the mounting template to the wall and then mark the three screw holes at the bottom of the template. Remove the template and double check the marked holes with the actual mounting plate to ensure that they match.

4. Template damaged or unusable

If the template arrives damaged or cannot be used, measure and mark the wall with these dimensions.

The bottom edge of the mounting plate must be 16 2/5" from the bottom edge of the upper cabinet.

The mounting plate holes must be 15 1/2" from the bottom edge of the upper cabinet and must be in line with each other. Each hole must be 11 1/3" from the center line.

Do not install the actual mounting plate yet, the exhaust duct work must be installed first.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

HOOD EXHAUST

This microwave is designed for adaptation to three types of ventilation: outside top exhaust, outside back exhaust and non-venting ductless recirculation. Use the following duct instructions if the appliance will be vented to the outside.

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3 1/4" x 10" rectangular or 6" round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.

Elbows, transitions, wall caps and roof caps present additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct which is longer than the actual physical size. When calculating the total duct length add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adapters plus the length of all straight duct sections. The chart below is an example of one possible installation configuration.

OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)

The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.

DUCT PIECES EQUIVALENT		LENGTH	X	NUMBER USED	=	EQUIVALENT LENGTH
	Roof cap	24 ft X (1) = 2	4 ft
(DA67)	12 ft. straight duct (6" round)	12 ft X (1) = 1	2 ft
(TTT4)	Rectangular to round transition adapter	5 ft X (1) = 5 ft
TOTAL LENGTH					= 41 ft

IMPORTANT: If a rectangular to round transition adapter is used, the bottom corners of the damper must be cut to fit using tin snips to allow free movement of the damper.

IMPORTANT: It is important that venting be installed using the most direct route with as few elbows as possible. This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent blockages. Make sure dampers swing freely and nothing is blocking the ducts.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DUCT LENGTH CALCULATOR

Use the chart below to calculate the total length of the duct work being installed. The total length should not exceed 140 feet.

DUCT PIECES EQUIVALE		NT LENGTH	X	NUMBER USED	=	EQUIVALENT LENGTH
	Rectangular to round transition adapter	5 ft X (		) = ft
	Wall cap	40 ft X (		) = ft
	Round 90° elbow	10 ft X (		) = ft
	Round 45° elbow	5 ft X (		) = ft
	Rectangular 90° elbow	25 ft X (		) = ft
	Rectangular 45° elbow	5 ft X (		) = ft
	Roof cap	24 ft X (		) = ft
(HHOK)	Straight duct 6" round or 3 1/4" x 10" rectangular	1 ft X (		) = ft

Metal Utensils: These can cause arcing and damage to the appliance. Remove all metal before operation.

COOKING TECHNIQUES

To achieve the best results when cooking in this appliance, follow the suggestions below.

STIRRING

Stir foods while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and will heat more quickly so stir from the outside of the dish toward the center.

ARRANGEMENT

Arrange unevenly shaped foods thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable so they receive more heat. To prevent overcooking, place delicate items toward the center of the turntable.

SHIELDING

Delicate foods can be shielded with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Use only small amounts of foil as this can cause arcing and damage to the appliance.

TURNING

Turn food over midway through cooking to expose all parts to the microwave energy. This is important with large items and meat.

STANDING

Foods cooked in a microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially meats and liquids. All liquids should be allowed to stand for a few minutes after cooking and should be shaken or stirred before consuming.

ADDING MOISTURE

Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered and allowed to stand after cooking to allow the heat to disperse evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
