Materials Needed
Standard  ttings for wall or roof venting. See the “Venting Design Speci cations” section.

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 and upper cabinet 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” and “Prepare Upper Cabinet” 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" (7.6 cm) 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.

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.

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.

Mark Rear Wall
The microwave oven must be installed on a minimum of one wall stud, preferably two, using a minimum of one lag screw, preferably two.
1. Using measuring tape,  nd and clearly mark the vertical
centerline of the opening.
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 one, preferably two 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.

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.

11. Using a straightedge, draw the two horizontal, level lines
through the marks made in steps 8 and 10.
12. Draw the two vertical plumb lines down from the marks
made in Step 9 to complete the 12" x 4" (30.5 x 10.2 cm) rectangle. This is the venting cutout area.
13. Cut a 3/4" (1.9 cm) hole in one corner of the cutout area.
14. Using a keyhole saw, cut out the venting cutout area.
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:

Drill Holes in Rear Wall
C
In addition to being installed on at least one 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 one end hole is over a wall stud, use one 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 two lag screws. Following are three installation con gurations.
4. Push the two bolts with toggle nuts through the drywall, and
 nger tighten the bolts to make sure toggle nuts have opened against drywall.
