Separate Cardboard Template
The wall template and upper cabinet template is embedded in
the backside of the carton box. They are used as a rear wall
template and upper cabinet template.
1. Cut along the dotted line to separate the cardboard template
from the backside of the carton box.
2. Set the cardboard template to the side and refer to it during
the “Mark Rear Wall” and “Prepare Upper Cabinet” parts of
installation.
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" (5.1 x 10.2 cm) wood wall stud and
minimum 3/8" (1 cm) 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.
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 models have a pocket handle. If installing the
microwave near a right side wall, make sure there is at least
3" (7.6 cm) 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 t
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 Speci cations” section.
Installation Dimensions
NOTE: The grounded 3 prong outlet must be inside the upper
cabinet. See the “Electrical Requirements” section.
*30" (76.2 cm) is typical for 66" (167.6 cm) installation height.
Exact dimensions may vary depending on type of range/cooktop
below.
NOTE: To ensure good performance, do not obstruct top vent
air ow. If cabinets are deeper than 14" (35.6 cm) but no more
than 15" (38.1 cm), use the bump out mounting kit replacing the
I bar mounting plate from the wall. The bump out mounting kit
(part # W11185746) is not provided but can be purchased from
Whirlpool.
