■ 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.

■ If installing the microwave oven near a right sidewall, make

sure there is at least 3" (7.6 cm) of clearance between the wall and the microwave oven, so that 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.

■ For gas cooktops, we recommend that the combined

cooking surface rating does not exceed 55,000 BTU/hr.

Installation Dimensions

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

cabinet. See the “Electrical Requirements” section.

*30" (76.2 cm) is typical for 66" (167.6 cm) installation height. Exact dimensions may vary depending on type of range/cooktop below. **33" (91.4 cm) or higher is recommend for 69" (175.3 cm) or higher installation height.

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.

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.
