ELECTRICAL OUTLET AND ANTITIP BLOCK
• To reduce the risk of tipping the drawer, an anti-tip block must be located a minimum of
15" (381 mm) above the cabinet floor on which the microwave drawer will sit, as outlined
above. A wooden 6" (152 mm) anti-tip block must be provided by the installer. The anti-tip
block prevents serious injury that might result from spilled hot liquids.
• If the drawer is moved to a different location, the anti-tip block must be moved and re-
installed. When secured to the wall, make sure the screws completely penetrate the wall and
are secured in wood or metal so the block is totally stable. When fastening, be sure screws do
not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.
• The electrical requirements are 120VAC, 60Hz, 13A. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
• The drawer is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. Should you only have a 2-prong
outlet, have a qualified electrician install a properly grounded 3-prong outlet.
• The suggested electrical outlet location in the shaded area is for a flush-mounted outlet. The
outlet cannot be located in a surface-mounted box unless additional depth is allowed to
maintain the 23 1/2" (597 mm) cabinet depth as noted on page 10.
• The drawer can be installed using an outlet behind or in an adjacent cabinet. ALWAYS check
if the electrical cord can reach prior to installation.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• The microwave drawer must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code along with local codes and
ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electrical shock
by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in the risk of electric shock. We do not
recommend using an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or service person install an outlet near the appliance.
