Before You Use Your Microwave .......................... 24 .......................... 2Template Information................... Hood Exhaust .................................................... 14-15 EN-2 5This 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 ensure that the outlet box is properly grounded. If not properly grounded, or if the outlet box does not meet electrical requirements noted (under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualified electrician should be employed to correct any deficiencies. 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 of up to 50 pounds (22.7 kg) or a total weight of 113–135 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 this appliance 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 checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly 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.

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes with the microwave installation. Remove the decorative trim to install the microwave properly and 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 inside depth of the front overhang. For this type of installation with front overhang only, align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

NOTE: We recommend using filler blocks if the cabinet front hangs below the cabinet bottom shelf. IMPORTANT: If filler blocks are not used, case damage may occur from overtightening screws. Insert a self-aligning screw through top center cabinet hole. Temporarily secure the oven by turning the screw at least two full turns after the threads have engaged. (It will be completely tightened later.) Be sure to keep power cord tight. Be careful not to pinch the cord, especially when mounting flush to bottom of cabinet. Self-Aligning Screw

1. Use a level to check that the template is positioned

2. Locate and mark at least one stud on the left or

right side of the centerline. It is important to use at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud to support the weight of the microwave. Mark two additional, evenly spaced locations for the supplied toggle bolts.

3. Drill holes in the marked locations. Where there is

a stud, drill a 3/16" hole for wood screws. For holes that do not line up with a stud, drill 5/8" holes for toggle bolts.

4. Remove the template from the rear wall.
