with a fuse or circuit breaker.  
Recommended:  
A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.  
A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
A. 2" x 4" wall stud  
B. Grounded 3 prong outlet  
For all cord connected appliances:  
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of  
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of  
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric  
current. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord  
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug  
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed  
and grounded.  
*30" (76.2 cm) is typical for 66" (167.6 cm) installation height.  
Exact dimensions may vary depending on type of range/cooktop  
below.  
Product Dimensions  
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can  
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified  
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are  
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether  
the microwave oven is properly grounded.

markers to the centerline on the wall, making sure its bottom  
edge is aligned to the horizontal line drawn in Step 3, and that  
the end holes are properly marked. Make sure the mounting  
plate is level.  
6. Holding the mounting plate in place, find the wall stud  
centerline(s) drawn in Step 2 of “Locate Wall Stud(s),” and  
mark at least 1, preferably 2 hole(s) through the mounting  
plate, closest to the wall stud centerline(s). See figures 1, 2  
and/or 3 in “Possible Wall Stud Configurations” in “Locate  
Wall Stud(s)” section. The blackened holes in the shaded  
areas are ideal hole locations.

mounting plate’s end holes and bottom edge.  
Drill Holes in Rear Wall  
In addition to being installed on at least 1 wall stud, the mounting  
plate must attach to the wall at both end holes. If the end holes  
are not over wall studs, use two 1/4-20 x 3" round-head bolts with  
toggle nuts; if 1 end hole is over a wall stud, use 1 lag screw and  
one 1/4-20 x 3" round-head bolt with toggle nut; or if both end  
holes are over wall studs, use 2 lag screws. Following are  
3 installation configurations.

NOTES:  
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 filler blocks (installer to provide)
