Remove Cardboard Template
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, it may use full carton box for packing,
then skip remove cardboard template steps, but use the wall
template for "Mark Rear Wall" part of 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.

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