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" (10 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.
• 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.

allowable upper cabinet and side cabinet depth (from rear wall to front
of cabinetry) must be no greater than the depth of the microwave oven metal outer wrapper (from back of
microwave oven to the vent screen).
NOTE: If the upper cabinet is deeper than the maximum allowable depth (see "Installation Dimensions" in this
section), then the installer must space the microwave oven forward
so that the vent screen is free and clear of any surrounding cabinetry.

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
NOTE: The power source for this microwave oven is an inverter, and is incompatible with household inverter power supplies.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Remove Mounting P ate
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.
2. With vent deflector oriented as shown (wide side down), slide it back and under the back edge of the vent opening.

Extema Venting
(for wall or Iroof ventiiing on_y}
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.

When the vent deflector is as far back as it can easily slide, flip it so that the wide side is to the back of the microwave oven, and the narrow side (with holes) is down. The vent deflector
holes should align with mounting holes in the vent opening, as shown in inset.
