This Microwave Oven/Hood should be mounted against and

supported by a at vertical wall. The wall must be at for proper

installation. If the wall is not at, use spacers to ll 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 nd the location of the studs, one of the following methods

may be used:

A. Use a stud nder, a magnetic device which locates the nails

in the stud.

B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to

nd 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 nd 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.

NOTE: In the event that the unit will be unable to be supported by any stud, it will be necessary to use

special care in the placement of the toggle bolts and top cabinet screws. See Wall Template for details.

The top cabinet should be tested to ensure it is securely attached to the wall. Place extra weight up to 110

pounds inside the top cabinet to test the support.

OVER THE RANGE MICROWAVE OVEN/HOOD SYSTEM

Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Microwave Oven/Hood System. Two people are

recommended to install this product.

If a new electrical outlet is required, its installation should be completed by a qualied electrician before the

Microwave Oven/Hood is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 2.

This Microwave Oven/Hood requires a mounting space on a wall

as shown in Figure 1.

If the space between the wall cabinets is greater than 30-inches

(36-inches or 42-inches), a Filler Panel may be used to fill

the gap between the Microwave Oven/Hood system and wall

cabinets. The Filler Panel Kit should be installed before the

Microwave Oven/Hood is installed.

For proper installation and servicing, a 2-inch space is necessary

between the top of the range backsplash and the bottom of the

Microwave Oven/Hood system.
