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.

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.

1 Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
2 Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth of the front overhang.
3 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.

It is important to have at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud to support the weight of the microwave. Set the mounting plate aside.

2 | INSTALLATION TYPES (Choose A, B or C)

This microwaveoven is designed for adaptation to the following three types of ventilation:

A. Outside Top Exhaust (Vertical Duct)

B.OutsideBackExhaust(HorizontalDuct)

C. Recirculating(Non-VentedDuctless)

NOTE: This microwave is shipped assembled for Recirculating. Select the typeof ventilation required for your installation and proceed to that section.

NOTE: Read the next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to the outside. If you plan to recirculate the air back into the room, proceed to page 20.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXTERNAL EXHAUST DUCTING

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 314 " x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 5" (12.7 cm) diameter/6" (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceed 120 equivalent feet (36.5 m). Outside ventilation requires an EXTERNAL EXHAUST DUCT. Read the following carefully.

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

Exhaust connection:

The exhaust adaptor has been designed to mate with a standard 314 " x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular duct. If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. A 5" (12.7cm)/6" (15.2cm) diameter duct is acceptable to use.

Maximum duct length:

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3^1/4 x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 5" (12.7 cm) diameter/6" (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceed 120 equivalent feet (36.5 m).

Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps, etc., present additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct which is longer than their actual physical size. When calculating the total duct length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections. The chart below shows you how to calculate total equivalent ductwork length using the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.

DUCT PIECES LENGTH x USED = LENGTH		EQUIVALENT NUMBER EQUIVALENT
	Rectangular-to-Round 5 Ft. (1.5 m) x ( ) = Ft. or mTransition Adaptor*
	Wall Cap 40 Ft. (12.2 m) x ( ) = Ft. or m
	90° Elbow 10 Ft. (3 m) x ( ) = Ft. or m
	45° Elbow 5 Ft. (1.5 m) x ( ) = Ft. or m
	90° Elbow 25 Ft. (7.6 m) x ( ) = Ft. or m
	45° Elbow 5 Ft. (1.5 m) x ( ) = Ft. or m
	Roof Cap	24 Ft. (7.3 m) x ( ) = Ft. or m
[6SAC]	Straight Duct 6" (15.2 cm)Round or 31⁄4" x 10"(8.2 x 25.4 cm Rectangular)	1 Ft. (0.3 m) x ( ) = Ft. or m
Total Ductwork =		Ft. or m

* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.

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

TOP CACINET TEMPLATE 1. Determine if your cabinet has a recessed area at a smooth, flat bottom. See Fig. 1. If smooth, tape template onto the bottom surface (Fig. 2). If it is recessed, cut the edges of the template to fill in the neccessed bottom of the cabinet. It is important that the edges of the cabinet permit level installation of the oven. NOTE: On some cabinets a small bracket or glue block is used between the overhang and the underlable of the cabinet bottom. Cut the template to fill around the bracket or glue block so that template will be flat against the bottom of the cabinet. Tape the Top Cabinet Template to the underside of the top cabinet in the recessed area. Fig. 3. NOTE: Make sure the rear of the template touches the back wall (for smooth, flat bottom cabinetry) or the back of the excess (for recessed bottom cabinetry) after cutting the edges of the template.

For recessed outlets, make 2 fiber blocks out of screw wood the size of the shaded areas. F & G. These fiber blocks must have a thickness equal to the depth of the cabinet recess. Drill 1/2" diameter holes in these blocks to line up with A & S. Please the blocks so that the holes in each block line up with the corresponding holes in the cabinet. The fiber blocks should be at the same level as the bottom edge of the wall cabinet frame. Fig. 4. 7. RETURN TO AND PROCED WITH THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. WALL
