The cardboard piece from the top of the microwave oven
packaging is perforated. The piece inside the perforation is for use
as a rear wall template.
1. Cut along the perforation to separate the template from the
rest of the cardboard packaging.
2. Set the cardboard template to the side and refer to it during
the "Mark Rear Wall" part of installation.
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 Ibs (68 kg), which includes
microwave oven and items placed inside the microwave oven
and upper cabinet.

"Electrical Requirements" section.
NOTES:
• If installing the microwave oven near a left sidewall, make sure
there is at least 6" (15.2 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.

Materials needed
• Standard fittings for wall or roof venting. See "Venting Design
Specifications" section.
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, the
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.

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.
Falure to folow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Required:
• A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 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.
SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
Depending on your model, the mounting plate may be in the foam
packaging, or it may be attached to the back of the microwave
oven.
NOTE: To avoid possible damage to the work surface, cover the
work surface.
1. Remove any remaining contents from the microwave oven
cavity.
2. If the mounting plate is attached to the back of the microwave
oven, remove it and set it aside.
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.
The microwave oven is set for recirculation installation. For wall or
roof venting, changes must be made to the venting system.
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.
Wall Venting Installation Only
1. Remove screws attaching damper plate to top of microwave
oven exterior. Slide damper plate toward the front of the
microwave oven and lift up.
2. Keep damper plate and screws together and set aside.

The microwave oven must be installed on a minimum of 1 wall
stud, preferably 2, using a minimum of 1 lag screw, preferably 2.
1. Using measuring tape, find and clearly mark the vertical
centerline of the opening.
A ......................}Lj__o _
5. With the support tabs facing forward (see illustrations in
"Locate Wall Stud(s)" section), align the mounting plate center
markers to the centerline on the wall, making sure its bottom
edge is aligned to the horizontal line drawn in Step 3, and that
the end holes are properly marked. Make sure the mounting
plate is level.
6. Holding the mounting plate in place, find the wall stud
centerline(s) drawn in Step 2 of "Locate Wall Stud(s)," and
mark at least 1, preferably 2 hole(s) through the mounting
plate, closest to the wall stud centerline(s). See figures 1, 2
and/or 3 in "Possible Wall Stud Configurations" in "Locate
Wall Stud(s)" section. The blackened holes in the shaded
areas are ideal hole locations.
7. Set the mounting plate aside.

2. Align the center markers on the cardboard template to the
centerline on the wall, making sure it is level, and that the top
of the cardboard template is butted up against the bottom
edge of the upper cabinet.
NOTES:
• If the front edge of the upper cabinet is lower than the back
edge, lower the cardboard template so that its top is level with
the front edge of the cabinet.
• If the cardboard template is damaged or unusable, measure
and mark the wall with the dimensions described in Step 4.

3. Holding the cardboard template in place, mark both holes in
the lower corners, and draw a horizontal line across the
bottom edge of the cardboard template. These represent the
mounting plate's end holes and bottom edge.
4. Remove the cardboard template and check the markings:

In addition to being installed on at least 1 wall stud, the mounting
plate must attach to the wall at both end holes. If the end holes
are not over wall studs, use two 1/4-20 x 3" round-head bolts with
toggle nuts; if 1 end hole is over a wall stud, use 1 lag screw and
