ENGLISH constructed of a minimum of 2" x 4" wood studding and 3/8" thick drywall or plaster/lath. • Attach the 2 lag screws supporting the oven to a vertical, 2" x 4" wall stud. • DO NOT mount the microwave oven to an island or peninsula cabinet. • Be sure that the upper cabinet and rear wall structures can support 150 lb. plus the weight of any items you place inside the oven or upper cabinet. • Locate the oven away from areas with strong drafts, such as near windows, doors, and large heating vents. • Make sure that you have enough space. See the clearance diagrams in the installation manual for the minimum vertical and horizontal clearances. • Refer to the Installation Instructions for details. Electrical Requirements The oven is designed to operate on a standard 120 V/60 Hz household outlet. Be sure that the circuit is at least 15 A or 20 A and the microwave oven is the only appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50 Hz or any circuit other than a 120 V/60 Hz circuit. No other electrical appliances or lighting circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Voltage Warning The voltage used at the wall socket must be the same as specified on the oven name plate located on the back or on the side of the control panel of the oven. Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing oven damage. Low voltage will cause slow cooking. If the microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of proper voltage, unplug and reconnect the power cord. Do Not Block Air Vents All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air vents are covered during oven operation the oven may overheat. To prevent damage to the oven, a sensitive safety device detects overheating and automatically turns the oven off. The oven cannot be used until it has cooled sufficiently. INSTALLATION 9 grounding plug.
