Install the Microwave Oven

WARNING: Use two or more people to move and install or uninstall appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

IMPORTANT: The control side of the microwave oven is the heavy side. Handle the microwave oven gently.

1. Place a washer on each 1/4 - 20 x 3" (7.6 cm) flat-head bolt and place inside upper cabinet near the 3/8" (9.5 mm) holes.
2. Make sure the microwave oven door is closed and taped shut.

3. Using 2 or more people, lift microwave oven and hang it on support tabs at the bottom of mounting plate.

NOTE: To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not grip or use the door or while the microwave oven is being handled.

A. Mounting plate
B. Support tabs

4. With front of microwave oven still tilted, thread power supply cord through the power supply cord hole in the bottom of the upper cabinet.

5. Rotate microwave oven up toward upper cabinet.

NOTE: If venting through the wall, make sure the damper assembly fits easily into the vent in the wall cutout.

6. Push microwave oven against mounting plate and hold in.

NOTE: If microwave oven does not need to be adjusted, skip steps 7 through 9.

7. If adjustment is required, rotate microwave oven downward. Using 2 or more people, lift microwave oven off of mounting plate and set aside on a covered surface.
8. Loosen mounting plate screws. Adjust mounting plate and re-tighten screws.
9. Repeat steps 3 through 6.
10. With the microwave oven centered, and with at least one person holding it in place, insert bolts through upper cabinet into microwave oven. Tighten bolts until there is no gap between upper cabinet and microwave oven.

NOTE: Some upper cabinets may require bolts longer or shorter than 3" (7.6 cm). Longer or shorter bolts are available at most hardware stores. Overtightening bolts may warp the top of the microwave oven. To avoid warping, wood filter blocks (installer to provide) may be added. The blocks must be the same thickness as the space between the upper cabinet bottom and the microwave oven.

A. Bolts

Avoid damage to the mounting nut, screw the bolts into the mounting nut holes around 15 - 20 mm by hand first, make sure the bolts thread in properly. Then tighten with tools.

Complete Installation

1. Plug microwave oven into grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Reconnect power.
3. Check the operation of microwave oven by placing 1 cup (250 mL) of water on the turntable and programming a cook time of 1 minute at 100% power. Test vent fan and exhaust by operating the vent fan.
4. If the microwave oven does not operate: Check that a household fuse has not blown, or that a circuit breaker has not tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. Check that the power supply cord is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

5. See the Quick Start Guide for more informations.

The installation is now complete.

Save this owner manual for future use.

A. 12 1/8" (33 cm) is the height from the highest point of the stove to the bottom of the microwave oven.

VENTING DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

This section is intended for architectural designer and builder/contractor reference only.

NOTES:

• Vent materials needed for installation are not provided with microwave hood combination.
• We do not recommend using a flexible metal vent.
• To avoid possible product damage, be sure to vent air outside, unless using recirculation installation. Do not vent exhaust air into concealed spaces, such as spaces within walls or ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or garages.

For optimal venting installation, we recommend:

• Using roof or wall caps that have backdraft dampers.
• Using a rigid metal vent.
• Using the most direct route by minimizing the length of the vent and number of elbows to provide efficient performance.
• Using uniformly sized vents.
• Using duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
• Using caulking compound to seal exterior wall or roof opening around cap.
• Not installing 2 elbows together, for optimal hood performance.

If venting through the wall, be sure that there is proper clearance within the wall for the damper to open fully.

If venting through the roof, and rectangular- to- round transition is used, be sure there are at least 3" (7.6 cm) of clearance between the top of the microwave oven and the transition piece. See "Rectangular- to- Round Transition" illustration.

A. Roof venting
B. Roof cap
C. Wall venting
D. Wall cap

Rectangular-to-Round Transition

NOTE: The minimum 3" (7.6 cm) clearance must exist between the top of the microwave oven and the rectangular- to- round transition piece so that the damper can open freely and fully.

A. Roof cap
B. 6" (152 mm) minimum diameter round vent
C. Elbow (for wall venting only)
D. Wall cap
E. 3 1/4 x 10" to 6" (8.3 x 25.4 cm to 15.2 cm) a rectangular-to-round transition piece
F. Vent extension piece, at least 3" (7.6 cm) high
G. 3" (7.6 cm)

Recommended Standard Fittings

NOTE: The minimum 3" (7.6 cm) clearance must exist between the top of the microwave oven and the rectangular- to- round transition piece so that the damper can open freely and fully.

A. Rectangular-to-round transition piece: 3 1/4" x 10" to 6" = 5 ft (8.3 x 25.4 cm to 15.2 cm = 1.5 m)
B. Roof cap: 3 1/4" x 10" = 24 ft (8.3 x 25.4 cm = 7.3 m)
C. 90° elbow: 3 1/4" x 10" = 25 ft (8.3 x 25.4 cm = 7.6 m)
D. 90° elbow: 6" = 10 ft (15.2 cm = 3 m)
E. Wall cap: 3 1/4" x 10" = 40 ft (8.3 x 25.4 cm = 12.2 m)
F. 45° elbow: 6" = 5 ft (15.2 cm = 1.5 m)
G. 90° flat elbow: 3 1/4" x 10" = 10 ft (8.3 x 25.4 cm = 3 m)

Recommended Vent Length

A 3 1/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6" (15.2 cm) round vent should be used.

The total length of the vent system including straight vent, elbow(s), transitions and wall or roof caps must not exceed the equivalent of 140 ft (42.7 m) for either type of vent. See the "Recommended Standard Fittings" section for equivalent lengths. For best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows.

3 1/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) vent system = 73 ft (22.2 m) total

A. One 3 1/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) 90° elbow = 25 ft (7.6 m)
B. 1 wall cap = 40 ft (12.2 m)
C. 2 ft (0.6 m) + 6 ft (1.8 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m)
D. 6 ft (1.8 m)
E. 2 ft (0.6 m)

6" (152 mm) vent system = 73 ft (22.2 m) total

A. Two 90° elbows = 20 ft (6.1 m)
B. 1 wall cap = 40 ft (12.2 m)
C. 1 rectangular-to-round transition piece = 5 ft (1.5 m)
D. 2 ft (0.6 m) + 6 ft (1.8 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m)
E. 6 ft (1.8 m)
F. 2 ft (0.6 m)

If the existing vent is round, a rectangular to round transition piece must be used. In addition, a rectangular 3" (7.6 cm) extension vent between the damper assembly and rectangular to round transition piece must be installed to keep the damper from sticking.
