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.

Depending on your model, skip "Remove Cardboard Template" steps if full carton box is used for packing. But use the wall template for "Mark Rear Wall" part of the installation.

Location Requirements

Check the opening where the microwave oven will be installed. The location must provide:

■ Minimum installation dimensions. See the “Installation

Dimensions” illustration.

■ Minimum one 2" x 4" (5.1 x 10.2 cm) wood wall stud and

minimum 3/8" (1 cm) 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 the

“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 models have a pocket handle. If installing the

microwave near a right side wall, make sure there is at least 3 inches of clearance between wall and microwave oven so you can grab the handle integrated inside the door.

■ 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 t

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 the “Venting Design Specications” section.

Installation Dimensions

NOTE: The grounded 3 prong outlet must be inside the upper

cabinet. See the “Electrical Requirements” section.

A. 2" x 4" (5.1 x 10.2 cm) wall stud B. Grounded 3 prong outlet

*30" (76.2 cm) is typical for 66" (167.6 cm) installation height. Exact dimensions may vary depending on type of range/cooktop below.

NOTE: To ensure good performance, do not obstruct top vent airow. If cabinets are deeper than 14" (35.6 cm) but no more than 15" (38.1 cm), use the bump out mounting kit replacing the I bar mounting plate fr om the wall. The bump out mounting kit (part # W11185746) is not provided but can be purchased from Whirlpool.

*Overall depth of product will vary slightly depending on door design.

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 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 A 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Remove Mounting Plate

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, 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 the 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.

Rotate Blower Motor

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.

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, nd and clearly mark the vertical

centerline of the opening.

5. With the support tabs facing forward (see illustrations in

the “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 Congurations” in the “Locate Wall Stud(s)” section. The blackened holes in the shaded areas are ideal hole locations.

7. Set the mounting plate aside.

Drill Holes in Rear Wall

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 3/16-24 x 3" round-head bolts with toggle nuts; if 1 end hole is over a wall stud, use 1 lag screw and one 3/16-24 x 3" round-head bolt with toggle nut; or if both end holes are over wall studs, use 2 lag screws. Following are 3 installation congurations.

Installation for No Wall Studs at End Holes (Figures 1 and 2)

1. Drill 5/8" (1.6 cm) holes through the wall at both end holes

marked in Step 3 of the “Mark Rear Wall.”

2. Drill 3/16" (5 mm) hole(s) into the wall stud(s) at the hole(s)

marked in Step 6 of the “Mark Rear Wall.” Refer to gures 1 and 2 in “Possible Wall Stud Congurations” in the “Locate Wall Stud(s)” section.
