Electrical Requirements

This product requires three-prong grounded outlet. Verify outlet box is properly grounded. If box is not properly grounded or does not meet electrical requirements, contact qualified electrician. Oven rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 14.3 amps, and 1.48 kilowatts. Oven must be connected to circuit of proper voltage and frequency. Wire size must conform to requirements of National Electric Code or prevailing local code. Power supply cord and plug should be connected to separate 15 to 20 amp. circuit, single grounded outlet. Outlet box should be located in cabinet above oven. Outlet box and supply circuit should be installed by qualified electrician and conform to National Electric Code or prevailing local code. For easier installation and personal safety, two people should install microwave oven.

•Verify bottom edge of cabinet is at least 66 inches from floor and 30 inches from cooking surface.

•Bottom of microwave oven should be at least 2 inches above range backsplash for easy access to change hood and range lamps.

•For outside ventilation, see "Preparing Microwave Exhaust Duct" section.

•Charcoal filter kit is needed for recirculating exhaust installation. Contact dealer to purchase charcoal filter kit.

•When installing microwave oven beneath smooth,

flat cabinets, follow instructions on top cabinet template for power cord clearance.

•Cabinets may have trim that interferes with microwave oven installation. Remove interfering trim to allow microwave oven installation and leveling.

•Space must be 30 inches wide. Remove any cabinet side trim that interferes with 30 inch space, front or back.

•Top cabinet trim (front, back, or both) can be left in place if there is enough clearance for proper installation. If top front trim is left in place, and there is no back trim, verify that mounting plate is positioned down far enough to keep microwave oven level. Keep space between bottom of cabinet and mounting plate equal to height of top front trim. This will ensure that microwave oven is level.
