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.
NOTE: Depending on model, aluminum grease filter and charcoal filter may be combined.
Materials needed
■Standard fittings for wall or roof venting. See “Venting Design Specifications” section.

Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Required:
■A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15or 20-amp electrical supply with a fuse or circuit breaker.
Recommended:
■A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.
■A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven.
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.

3.Tape the microwave oven door closed so that door does not swing open while the microwave oven is being handled.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not grip or use the door or door handle while the microwave oven is being handled.
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.
