Location Requirements
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" (51 x 102 mm) wood wall stud and
minimum 3/8" (10 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 models have a pocket handle. If installing the
microwave near 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.
� 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 fit
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"
(76 mm) 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.
