The mounting plate is located on the upper packing. See Figure 2. NOTE: Vent grille appearance varies by model.
Your Safety First SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR'S USE. • DO NOT EXPOSE YOURSELF TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY! – DO NOT try to operate the microwave oven with the door open. – DO NOT tamper with or defeat the safety interlocks. – DO NOT place objects between the microwave oven front face and the door. – DO NOT allow soil or cleaner residue to build up on the flat surfaces around the microwave oven door. – DO NOT operate the microwave oven if it is damaged.
Parts, Tools, Materials THE FOLLOWING PARTS ARE SUPPLIED WITH THE OVEN: NOTE: Depending on your ventilation requirements, you may not use all of these parts. Damper/duct connector (for roof venting or wall venting installation) Not Actual Size (2 pieces must be assembled as shown) Not used if venting into kitchen.
Parts, Tools, Materials You will need the following tools and materials for the installation: Carton or other heavy material such as a blanket for covering the counter top.
STEP 1: Prepare The Electrical Connection wW A R N I N G AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED! 1. Locate the grounded electric outlet for this oven in the cabinet above the oven, as shown in Figure 5. NOTE: The outlet should be on a circuit dedicated to the microwave oven (120V, 60 Hz., AC only) with a 15 or 20A fused electrical supply. Upper Cabinet IMPORTANT: If you do not have the proper wall outlet, you MUST have one installed by a qualified electrician. 2.
STEP 2: Prepare The Venting System NOTE: The ductwork you need for outside ventilation is not included with your oven. The standard ductwork fittings and length are shown in Figure 10, page 8. wW A R N I N G THIS OVEN MUST BE PROPERLY VENTED! You may vent your oven in one of three ways. However, do NOT vent into a wall cavity, an attic, or an unused area. Roof-venting If your oven is located on an outside wall near the roof, as in Figure 7 (3 1/4" x 10" duct) and Figure 9 (6" round duct.
STEP 2: Prepare The Venting System Standard Fittings NOTE: If the existing duct is round, you must use a rectangular-to-round adapter, with a rectangular 3" extension duct installed between the damper assembly and the adapter to prevent the exhaust damper’s sticking. Duct Length The total length of the duct system, including straight duct, elbows, transitions, and wall or roof caps must not exceed 140 feet.
STEP 3: Prepare The Venting Blower Your microwave oven is shipped with the blower assembled for roof-venting. You need to adjust the blower if you want wall-venting or room-venting installation. wW A R N I N G ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD! UNPLUG UNIT BEFORE WORKING ON IT. • DO NOT PULL OR STRETCH THE BLOWER WIRING! Pulling and stretching the blower wiring could result in electric shock. 1. Remove any shipping materials and parts from inside the microwave oven. Set them aside for later use. 2.
STEP 3: Prepare The Venting Blower Blower Plate Mounting Screw WALL-VENTING INSTALLATION: 1. Remove one or two blower unit mounting screw(s) and one or several blower plate mounting screw(s). Remove the blower plate from the cabinet. See Figure 13. Blower Plate Back Plate Blower Unit 2. Carefully lift the blower unit out of the microwave oven. See Figure 14. Blower Unit Mounting Screw Parts B 3. Use side cutters or tin snips to cut and remove knockouts B from Back plate. Discard knockouts.
STEP 3: Prepare The Venting Blower ROOM-VENTING (Recirculating) Blower Plate Mounting Screw INSTALLATION: 1. Remove one or two blower unit mounting screw(s) and one or several blower plate mounting screw(s). Remove the blower plate. See Figure21. Blower Plate Back Plate Blower Unit 2. Carefully lift the blower unit out of the microwave oven. See Figure 14. Blower Unit Mounting Screw Parts B Figure 21 3. Reassemble the blower wire. See Figure 22. 4.
STEP 4: Prepare The Wall & Upper Cabinet wW A R N I N G To avoid personal injury or property damage, do not attempt to install this microwave oven if you cannot find a wall stud. Consult a carpenter or contractor. Measure And Track/Tape Up The Templates 1. Using a plumb line and (metal) measuring tape, find and mark the vertical center line on the back wall, as in Figure 26. 2. Find and mark one or two points where the studs are on the wall. (Studs are normally 16 inches apart).
STEP 4: Prepare The Wall & Upper Cabinet wW A R N I N G To avoid risk of personal injury, electric shock or death: Note where electrical outlets and electrical wires are before you drill into the wall. Locate and disconnect power to any electrical circuits that could be affected by installing this oven. wW A R N I N G To avoid risk of personal injury, electric shock or death, cover the edge of the power supply cord hole with the power supply cord bushing. Drill The Holes In The Wall And Upper Cabinet. 1.
STEP 5: Install The Mounting Plate The Oven Must Be Connected To At Least One 3/16 Hole on Studs 5/8 Hole on Drywall Only Minimum 66 From the Floor Wall Stud. For Wall Venting Only 1. Center the rear wall template in the space by lining up the plumb line on wall with centerline on template.Then securely tape or tack the rear wall template in place.Make sure the minimum width is 30 inches and that the top of the rear wall template is located a minimum of 30 inches above the cooking surface.
STEP 6: Attach The Oven To The Wall wW A R N I N G To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, you will need two people to install this microwave oven. 1. Carefully lift microwave oven and hang it on support tabs (See Figure 30) at the bottom of the mounting plate.Reaching through upper cabinet, thread power supply cord through the power supply cord hole in the bottom of the upper cabinet. See Figure 32. 2.
