Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
CAUTION: For personal
safety, remove house fuse
or open circuit breaker
before beginning
installation to avoid severe
or fatal shock injury.
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps and
1.6 kilowatts. This product must be connected to a
supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency.
Wire size must conform to the requirements of the
National Electrical Code or the prevailing local
code for this kilowatt rating. The power supply
cord and plug should be brought to a separate
15- to 20- ampere branch circuit single grounded
outlet. The outlet box should be located in the
cabinet above the microwave oven. The outlet box
and supply circuit should be installed by a qualified
electrician and conform to the National Electrical
Code or the prevailing local code.
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 oven 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.
Ensure proper
ground exists
before use

with front overhang. Line up the notch and centerline
on the bottom of the mounting plate to the centerline
on the wall.
Set the mounting plate aside.
Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3⁄16″
hole for wood screws. For holes that don’t line up with
a stud, drill a 5⁄8″ hole for toggle bolts.

While holding the mounting plate with one hand,
draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C and D

Installation Instructions
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total
Maxim um duct length:
duct length of 31⁄4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or
6” (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceed
120 equivalent feet (36.5 m).
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of
31⁄4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6” (15.2 cm)
diameter round duct should not exceed 120 equivalent
feet (36.5 m).
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT.
Read the following carefully.
Elbow s, transitions, w all 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.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
a standard 31⁄4” 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. Do not use less than
a 6” (15.2 cm) diameter duct.
