Materials needed:

See “Venting Design Specifications” section.
Location Requirements
Check the opening where the microwave oven will be installed.
The location must provide:
■ Minimum installation dimensions. See “Installation

NOTES:
■ If installing the microwave oven near a left sidewall, make
sure there is at least 6" (15.2 cm) of clearance between the
wall and the microwave oven, so that the door can open fully.
■ 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

fits properly, and the damper blade opens freely and fully.
For Roof Venting Installation Only:
