Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: 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 cm x 10.2 cm) wood wall stud
and minimum 3/8" (9.5 mm) 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.
NOTE: 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 ts
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.

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 A or 20 A electrical supply with a
fuse or circuit breaker
Recommended:
■ A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker
A. 2" x 4" (5.1 cm x 10.1 cm) wall stud B. Grounded 3 prong outlet
*24" (61 cm) is typical for 60" (152.4 cm) installation height exact dimensions may vary depending on type of range/cooktop below.
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 mounting plate from the wall. The bump out mounting kit (part # W11185746) is not provided but can be purchased from Whirlpool.

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

The Microwave oven is set for recirculation installation. For wall or roof venting, changes must be made to the venting system.
NOTE: Skip below sections if you are using recirculation installations. Go to section “Locate Wall Stud(s)”. 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.

Wall Venting Installation Only

1. Using diagonal wire cutting pliers, gently snip out the
rectangular vent covers on the damper plate.
Install Damper Assembly
(for wall venting only)
1. Check that damper blade moves freely, and opens fully.
2. Position the damper assembly on the back of the microwave
oven so that the damper blade hinge is at the top, and the damper blade opens away from the microwave oven.

Locate Wall Stud(s)

NOTE: If no wall studs exist within the cabinet opening, do not install the microwave oven.
See illustrations in “Possible Wall Stud Congurations.”
1. Using a stud nder, locate the edges of the wall stud(s)
within the opening.
2. Mark the center of each stud and draw a plumb line down
each stud center. See illustrations in “Possible Wall Stud Congurations.”
1. Remove screws attaching B and C covers. Slide them out.

Prepare Upper Cabinet

You can nd the quick reference guide direct from the mounting plate marking, or use this installation guide for installation. Seebelow install steps:
1. Disconnect power to outlet.
2. Remove all contents from upper cabinet.
3. Mark centerline on bottom of upper cabinet. Place mounting
plate against the bottom of the upper cabinet. Make sure the mounting plate centerline aligns with the vertical centerline on the rear wall.
The “Rear wall” arrows must be against the rear wall so that the holes cut into the upper cabinet align with the holes in the top of the microwave oven.
NOTE: If the wall behind the microwave oven (as installed) has a partial wall covering (for example, tiled wall), be sure the “Rear Wall” arrows align to the thickest part of the rear wall (for example, to the tiles, rather than the drywall).

mounting plate. These are for two 1⁄4 - 20 x 3" (7.6 cm) bolts and washers used to secure the microwave oven to the upper cabinet.
NOTE: If replacing a range hood that has the direct wire power supply coming from the wall, install outlet box accessory kit in upper cabinet. The Outlet Box Kit (part #W11082816) is not provided but can be purchased from Whirlpool.
Roof Venting Installation Only

If venting through the roof, mark and trace the corner punches on the mounting plate. Set mounting plate aside, cut the venting area out from the bottom of the upper cabinet using a keyhole saw.
NOTE: If the front edge of the upper cabinet is lower than the back edge, lower the mounting plate so that its top is leveled with the front edge of the cabinet.

Drill Holes in Rear Wall

In addition to being installed on at least 1 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" (7.6 cm) round head bolts with toggle nuts; if 1 end hole is over a wall stud, use 1 lag screw and one 3/16-24 x 3" (7.6 cm) round-head bolt with toggle nut; or if both end holes are over wall studs, use 2 lag screws. Following are 3 installation congurations.

3. Align the center markers on the mounting plate to the
centerline of the wall. Make sure it is leveled and top of the mounting plate is butted up against the bottom edge of the upper cabinet.
(Figures 1 and 2)
1. Drill 5/8" (1.6 cm) holes through the wall at both end holes
marked in Step 3 of “Mark Rear Wall.”
2. Drill 3/16" (5 mm) hole(s) into the wall stud(s) at the hole(s)
