Location Requirements
Check the opening where the microwave oven will be installed.
The location must provide:
■ Minimum installation dimensions. See “Installation
Dimensions” illustration.
■ Minimum one 2" x 4" (50.8 x 101.6 mm) wood wall stud and
minimum 3/8" (9.5 mm) thickness drywall or plaster/lath within
cabinet opening.
■ Support for weight of 150 lbs (68 kg), which includes
microwave oven and items placed inside the microwave oven
and upper cabinet.
■ Grounded electrical outlet inside upper cabinet. See
“Electrical Requirements” section.
NOTES:
■ If installing the microwave oven near a left sidewall, make sure
there is at least 3" (7.6 cm) of clearance between the wall and
the microwave oven, so that the door can open fully.
■ Some cabinet and building materials are not designed to
withstand the heat produced by the microwave oven for
cooking. Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make
sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or
sustain other damages.
Special Requirements
For Wall Venting Installation Only:
■ Cutout must be free of any obstructions so that the vent fits
properly, and the damper blade opens freely and fully.
For Roof Venting Installation Only:
■ If you are using a rectangular to round transition piece,
3" (7.6 cm) clearance needs to exist above the microwave
oven so that the damper blade can open freely and fully. See
“Rectangular to Round Transition” illustration in “Venting
Design Specifications” section.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■
For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
WARNING:Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the microwave oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the microwave oven.

Convert Microwave Oven to
External Venting
(for wall or roof venting only)
The microwave oven is set for recirculation installation. For wall or
roof venting, changes must be made to the venting system. See
“Venting Design Specifications” section.
NOTE: Skip this section if you are using recirculation installation.
Keep the damper assembly in case the venting method is
changed, or the microwave oven is reinstalled in another location
where wall or roof venting may be used.
To prepare the microwave oven for wall or roof venting, the vent
deflector (L-shaped metal bar) must be installed, and the
appropriate damper vent opening must be uncovered.
To Install Vent Deflector:
1. Gently pull the rings and lift vent screen from the top of the
microwave oven.
