INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Microwave Oven/Hood System.
If a new electrical outlet is required, its installation should be completed by a qualified electrician before
the Microwave Oven/Hood is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 2.

MOUNTING SPACE

This Microwave Oven/Hood requires a mounting space on a
wall as shown in Figure 1. It is designed to be used with standard
12-inch wall cabinets.
If the space between the wall cabinets is 36 or 42 inches, a Filler
Panel Kit can be used to fill the gap. The metal filler panels come
in 3-inch wide pairs. One set is needed for a 36-inch opening and
2 sets for a 42-inch opening. See page 8 for ordering information.
The Filler Panel Kit should be installed before the Microwave Oven/
Hood is installed.

WALL CONSTRUCTION

This Microwave Oven/Hood should be mounted against and supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall must be flat for proper
installation. If the wall is not flat, use spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall construction should be a minimum of 2" x 4" wood studding and
3/8" or more thick dry wall or plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces must be capable of supporting weight of 110 pounds—the oven
and contents—AND the weight of all items which would normally be stored in the top cabinet above the unit.
The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2" x 4" wall stud.
To find the location of the studs, one of the following methods may be used:
A. Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the nails in the stud.
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate stud location.
The center of the stud can be located by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud and then placing a mark
halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs will normally be 16" or 24" to either side of this mark.

Two people are recommended to install this product.
