C. DETERMINING WALL PLATE LOCATION UNDER YOUR CABINET

Plate position-beneath flat bottom cabinet

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30" wide space. Tape the Rear Wall Template onto the wall matching the centerline and touching the bottom of the cabinet.

Plate position-beneath framed recessed cabinet bottom

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30" space.
Tape the Rear Wall Template onto the wall matching the centerline and touching the bottom cabinet frame.

Plate position-beneath recessed bottom cabinet with front overhang

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.

D. ALIGNING THE WALL PLATE

CAUTION: Weargloves to avoid cutting fingerson sharpedges.

1 Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30" wide space.
2 Draw a horizontal line on the wall at the bottom of "Rear Wall Template".
3 Find a wall stud in area "E" of mounting plate Refer to section 1B. Finding the wall studs.
4 For attaching the mounting plate into stud drill a 3/16" hole into wood stud. Drill a 5/8" hole for toggle bolt in 1 other location (Hole A or Hole B) NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.

NOTE: Holes A and B are inside area E. If neither of Holes A and B are not in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E and draw a circle to line up with the stud. 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)

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 3¼" 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*

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.

C4. Mount the Microwave Oven
C5. Install or change Charcoal Filter

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Make sure the screws for the blower motor and blower plate are securely tightened when they are reinstalled. This will help to prevent excessive vibration.
  • Make sure the motor wiring has been properly routed and secured, and that the wires are not pinched.

IMPORTANT : Do not remove the cardboard spacers between the heat shield and door.

C1. ATTACH THE MOUNTING PLATE TO THE WALL

Attach the plate to the wall using toggle bolts. At least one wood screw must be used to attach the plate to a wall stud.

NOTE: If the cabinet depth including the cabinet doors is more than 13" then the unit must be spaced out from wall using adequate materials supporting 150 lbs to allow proper top vent air exhaust/ intake.

1 Remove the toggle wings from the bolts.
2 Insert the bolts into the mounting plate through the holes designated to go into drywall and reattach the toggle wings to 34 " (19 mm) onto each bolt.

To use toggle bolts:

3 Place the mounting plate against the wall and insert the toggle wings into the holes in the wall to mount the plate.

NOTE: Before tightening toggle bolts and wood screw, make sure the bottom of the mounting plate touch the bottom of the cabinet when pushed flush against the wall and that the plate is properly centered under the cabinet.

CAUTION: Be careful to avoid pinching fingers between the back of the mounting plate and the wall.

4 Tighten all bolts. Pull the plate away from the wall to help tighten the bolts.

C2. USE TOP CABINET TEMPLATE FOR PREPARATION OF TOP CABINET

You need to drill holes for the top support screws and a hole large enough for the power cord to fit through.

• Read the instructions on the TOP CABINET TEMPLATE.
• Tape it underneath the top cabinet.

NOTE: Adjust top template accordingly if the microwave is being spaced out from the wall due to cabinet depth (including cabinet doors) of more than 13".

- Drill the holes, following the instructions on the TOP CABINET TEMPLATE.

CAUTION: Wear safety goggles when drilling holes in the cabinet bottom.

C3. CHECK BLOWER PLATE

• Place the microwave in its upright position, with the top of the unit facing up.
• Check to see that the blower plate is correctly installed on the unit.

IMPORTANT: Do not grip or use the handle or heat shield during installation. Do not remove the cardboard spacers between the heat shield and door.

NOTE: If your cabinet is metal, use the nylon grommet around the power cord hole to prevent cutting of the cord.

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.

NOTE: When mounting the microwave oven, thread power cord through hole in bottom of top cabinet. Keep it tight throughout Steps 1–3. Do not pinch cord or lift oven by pulling cord.

1 Lift microwave, tilt it forward, and hook slots at back bottom edge onto four lower tabs of mounting plate.

2 Rotate front of oven up against cabinet bottom.
3 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.

4 Attach the microwave oven to the top cabinet.
