Installation Instructions 1 MOUNTING SPACE 3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING 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. The Filler Panel Kit should be installed before the Microwave Oven/Hood is installed. 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. 12" 30" 15.5" Backsplash At least 2" 30" or more from cooking surface 66" or more from floor 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 separate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch circuit, single 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. Figure 1 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. 2 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 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. RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna. Ground Receptacle 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. Opening for Power Cord Figure 2 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. 2
