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

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.

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.

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.
