mMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTmONS
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.
The installer must perform a ground continuity check
on the power outlet box before beginning tl3e
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 beglrmhag
installation to avoid severe
or fatal shock injury.
CAUTION: For personal safety, the mounting surface
mnst be capable of supporting the cabinet load, in
addition to the added weight of thls 63--85 pound
product, plus additional oven loads of up to 50 pounds
or a total weight of 113--135 pounds.
CAUTION: For personal safety, this product cannot
be installed in cabinet arrangements such as an island or
apeninsula. 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, SHO CIL
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding)
pIug which mates with a
standard threc_prong
(grounding) wall receptacle
to rednimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard
from tiffs appliance.
Ensureproper
groundexists
before use
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.
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 15 amps and
!. 58 ldlowatts 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 Electrica! 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 hood,, 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.

.......................................................................................Installation instructions
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total
duct length of' 3W' x t0" rectangular or 6" diameter'
round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet°
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DLtCT
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 _,dng freely ,and
nothing is blocking the ducts.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
a standard 3i/t" x 10" rectangular duct,
If a round duct is required, a rectangular_to-round
transition adapter' must be used. Do not use less than
a 6" diameter duct,
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of
3I/1" x I0" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should
not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
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 adapters plus the length of' all straight duct sections.
The chart below shows you how to calculate total
equivalent ductwor k length using the approximate feet
of equivalent length of some typical ducts,

[_ 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. ]?hen place a mark halfway between
the edges, "[he center of any adjacent studs should
be 16" or 24" from this mart<,
[_ Draw a line down the center of the studs_
THE MICROWAVE HOOD MUST BE
CONNECTED TO AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

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 h'ont overhang depth_ This
will keep the microwave hood level.
_ Measure the inside depth of the front overhang
[_] Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal
distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside
depth of the front overhang.
_] 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
