INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Read carefully and keep these installation instructions
A REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION
Installation of this product is safest and easiest when performed by two people. Before beginning the
installation, please read the following requirements to make sure you have everything you need to safely
install this product.
1. SUPPLY CIRCUIT AND GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
This oven must be plugged into at least a 15 AMP, 120 volt, 60 Hz, 3 prong grounded outlet. The outlet
must be connected to at least a separate 15 AMP circuit of the proper voltage and frequency. No other
appliance should share the circuit. Wire size must conform to the requirements of the National Electric Code
or the prevailing local code for this kilowatt rating.
The recommended location for this outlet is inside the cabinet directly above where the oven is going to be
installed. This location is desirable because the power supply cord on the product is short. If an outlet is not
readily available, one should be installed by a qualified electrician and should conform to the National
Electric Code or the prevailing local code.
The installer must perform a ground continuity check on the outlet box to ensure that it is properly grounded,
and if it does not meet the electrical requirements of the product a qualified electrician should be employed
to correct any deficiencies.
2. MOUNTING SURFACE WEIGHT CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, ANY MOUNTING SURFACE FOR THIS PRODUCT MUST BE CAPABLE OF
SUPPORTING THE PRODUCT'S WEIGHT OF 55 lbs. (25 kg). PLUS ADDITIONAL OVEN LOADS OF UP
TO 22 lbs. (10 kg). FOR A TOTAL WEIGHT OF 77 lbs. (35 kg).
Proper installation of this product requires that the product be partially supported by the bottom surface of
the cabinet directly above the mounting location. Therefore reinforcing this bottom might be necessary if the
cabinet cannot support the weight requirement mentioned above.

E EXHAUST DUCT
The hood exhaust has been designed to match with a standard 31/4"X10" (8.3 cm X 25.4 cm) rectangular duct.
If a round duct is desired, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used.
MAXIMUM DUCT LENGTH
For satisfactory air movement (CFM) the total duct length should not exceed 130 feet (39.6 m) of 31/4"X10"
(8.3 cm X 25.4 cm) rectangular duct.
This 130 feet maximum can be comprised entirely of straight duct or the total amount of straight duct used plus
the equivalent amount in feet of elbows, transitions, wall or roof caps, etc. which were used. The drawings
below show approximate measurements for typical round duct elements [with a 6" (15.2 cm) diameter] and
rectangular duct elements 31/4"X10" (8.3 cm X 25.4 cm). For example, a 90 degree elbow, equivalent to 10 ft.
(3 m), and a transition adaptor, equivalent to 5 ft. (1.5 m), can be used with a maximum of 115 feet of straight
duct.
Wall Cap - 40 ft. (12 m)
Transition Adaptor - 5 ft. (1.5 m)
Roof Cap - 24 ft. (7.3 m)
90° Elbow - 10 ft. (3 m)
90° Elbow - 25 ft. (7.8 m)
45° Elbow - 5 ft. (1.5 m)
45° Elbow - 5 ft. (1.5 m)
Note: Round duct elements with a 6" diameter are recommended.
F PREPARATION OF TOP CABINET AND WALL
It is recommended that the bracket assembly be mounted to a flush wall of 2" X 4" (5 cm X 10 cm) stud and
3/8" (1 cm) minimum thickness drywall construction.
1. To prepare the bottom surface of the top cabinet and the wall, holes must be drilled or cut into these surfaces.
A template is provided for preparing these holes. Read the instructions on the template before taping it to the
bottom of the cabinet and the wall.
2. Wall and Cabinet preparation

2-1. Confirm oven fits into the bottom of the upper cabinet frame and the wall. Draw a vertical center line on
wall and a center line of the cabinet. (Fig. F-1)
2-2. Locate wall studs by tapping or test drilling and mark vertical center line along the wall studs on wall
template. If there are no any wall studs in the opening area, DO NOT install the product. Consult your
builder.

3. Fold the template along a “Rear wall” dotted line. Align the center line with center line on the wall and the top
cabinet. Tape the template to the underneath of top cabinet and the wall. (Fig. F-3)
4. Drill pilot holes for top cabinet or rear wall cabinet and 2 support screws on top cabinet.
To support the oven’s weight, bracket must be secured by at least
• Four wood screws on the wall studs ( 2 screws on each side) or
• Two wood screws on the wall studs and 4 toggle bolts through the wall
G INSTALLATION OF BRACKET AND OVEN
CAUTION:
Four hole locations for toggle bolts and two or preferably four wood screws must be used to secure a mounting
plate that can withstand the oven's weight.
For easier installation and personal safety, it is recommended that this product be installed by two people.

Note: If Rear Exhaust application is chosen, secure Exhaust Adaptor (Hardware item No. 6) on the back of
bracket assembly with two screws (Hardware item No. 5). Check that the damper blade A moves
smoothly, and opens fully as shown. (Fig. G-1)
INSTALLATION OF BRACKET
1. Align the bracket assembly against the wall top cabinet. (Fig. G-2)
2. Mark holes that lie on the wall studs for wood screw and other holes, do not lie on the wall studs for toggle
bolts. (Fig. G-2 or G-3)
3. Drill 3/16" holes for wood screws and 3/8" holes for toggle bolts. (Fig. G-2 or G-3)
4. Secure the bracket assembly on the wall with wood screws and / or toggle bolts. (Fig. G-2 or G-3)
INSTALLATION OF OVEN

1. Remove contents from inside the oven including glass tray and wire rack.
Be sure to close the door. Remove all contents from upper kitchen cabinet.
2. Before sliding the oven on the bracket assembly, be sure that the power supply cord will be accessible through
the cabinet.
3. Lift and install the oven onto the bracket by sliding it over the rails of the bracket. This is easily and safely
accomplished with one person on each side of the oven. Push the oven all the way back until it is flush with the
wall.
Pull the power supply cord through and be careful not to pinch it between the outer case of the oven and
bottom of the cabinet. The oven should fit snugly underneath the lip of the bracket's upper edge. (Fig. G-4)
4. Insert the two screws 5 X 80 mm with flat washers (Hardware items No. 3 and No. 4) through the holes drilled
through the top cabinet's bottom and into the top of the oven. (Fig. G-5)
While tightening these screws, lift the front side of the oven and push it toward the wall. This ensures a flush
and level mounting.
Note: If Top Exhaust application is chosen, mount Exhaust Adaptor (Hardware item No. 6) on top of the oven
by using 2 screws (Hardware item No. 5) and through the cutout of the cabinet. Then connect the house
duct pipe to the exhaust adaptor.
