Mounting Space; Wall Construction - Frigidaire FMV156EM Installation Instructions Manual

1 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 stan-
dard 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 pan-
els come in 3-inch wide pairs. One set is needed for a 36-inch
opening and 2 sets for a 42-inch opening. The Filler Panel Kit
should be installed before the Microwave Oven/Hood is
installed.
12"
15.5"
Backsplash At least 2"

2 WALL CONSTRUCTION

This Microwave Oven/Hood should be mounted against and
supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall must be flat for prop-
er 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 a 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 or two 2" x 3" wall studs.
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.

3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be
plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug. DO NOT UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR
REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN
FROM THE PLUG.
The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to a sep-
arate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch circuit, sin-
gle grounded receptacle. The receptacle should be located
inside the cabinet directly above the Microwave Oven mounting
location as shown in Figure 2.
NOTE:
1.If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson.
2.Neither Electrolux nor the dealer can accept any liability for
damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to
observe the correct electrical connection procedures.
RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
