2. EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS TO WARRANTY SERVICE
The Warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship of the Product
encountered in the normal, non-commercial use of the Product, and does not cover (a)
damages or malfunctions resulting from improper or unreasonable use or maintenance,
abuse, negligence, failure to follow instructions contained in any written materials

This 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 insure 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 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.

Screws
Screws
Mounting Plate
Find the studs, using one of the
following methods:
A. Stud finder – a magnetic device which
locates nails.
OR
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the
mounting surface to find a solid sound.
This will indicate a stud location.
After locating the stud(s), find the center by
probing the wall with a small nail to find the
edges of the stud. Then place a mark halfway
between the edges. The center of any adjacent
studs should be 16" (40.6 cm) or 24" (61 cm)
from this mark.
Draw a line down the center of the studs.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO
AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

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

INSTALLATION TYPES
This microwave is designed for adaptation to the
following three types of ventilation:
A. Outside Top Exhaust (Vertical Duct)
B. Outside Back Exhaust (Horizontal Duct)
C. Recirculating (Non-Vented Ductless)
OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST
(VERTICAL DUCT)
OUTSIDE BACK EXHAUST
(HORIZONTAL DUCT)
RECIRCULATING
(NON-VENTED DUCTLESS)
See page 12
On models shipped for
recirculating exhaust, a
disposable charcoal
filter is factory installed
to help remove smoke
and odors.

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.

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.

a standard 3
