Materials Needed
Standard fittings for wall or roof venting. See the “Venting Design Specifications” section.
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 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, 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 Specifications” 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 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.

Prepare Upper Cabinet
You can find 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).
A
A.Centerline
4.Place mounting plate against the bottom of upper cabinet line and mark power supply hole “G” and 2 mounting holes “D” and “E” as shown in following figure. Make sure the 103⁄4" (27.3 cm) dimension from the rear wall to “D” and “E” on the mounting plate is maintained. And 11⁄2" (3.8 cm) diameter for “G” hole. Then cut the holes of “D”, “E” and “G”.

5.Drill 3/8" (9.5 mm) holes at points “D” and “E” on the 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.

Mark Rear Wall
The microwave oven must be installed on a minimum of 1 wall stud, preferably 2, using a minimum of 1 lag screw, preferably 2.
1.Fold 2 mounting tabs forward into the tab cutout. Note that the tabs will NOT be flush after folding.
Fold Forward
2.Mark centerline on the back wall. Place mounting plate against the back wall, find and clearly mark the vertical centerline of the opening.

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.
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 configurations.
Installation for No Wall Studs at End Holes (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) marked in Step 6 of “Mark Rear Wall.” Refer to figures 1 and 2 in “Possible Wall Stud Configurations” in the “Locate Wall Stud(s)” section.
Installation for Wall Stud at One End Hole (Figure 3)
1.Drill a 3/16" (5 mm) hole into the wall stud at the end hole marked in Step 3 of “Mark Rear Wall.”
2.If installing on a second wall stud, drill a 3/16" (5 mm) hole into the wall stud at the other hole marked in Step 6 of “Mark Rear Wall.” Refer to Figure 3 in “Possible Wall Stud Configurations” in the “Locate Wall Stud(s)” section.
3.Drill a 5/8" (1.6 cm) hole through the wall at the other end hole.
Installation for Wall Studs at Both End Holes (Figure 4)
1.Drill 3/16" (5 mm) hole into the wall stud at the end hole marked in Step 3 of “Mark Rear Wall.”
