su re there is at least 6" (15.2 cm) of clearance between the
wall and the microwave oven so that the door can open fully.
emo S models have a pocket handle. If installing the microwave
nea r a right side wall, make sure there is at least 3 inches of
clearance between wall and microwave oven so you can
grab the handle integrated inside the door.
S ome 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.
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.
Depending on your model, it may use full carton box for
packing, then skip remove cardboard template steps, but
use the wall template for "Mark Rear Wall" part of installation.

rest of the cardboard packaging.
2. Set the cardboard template to the side and refer
to it during
the “Mark Rear Wall” part of installation.
