To avoid risk of property damage, unplug the microwave oven or disconnect power at
source by removing fuse or throwing circuit breaker.
To avoid risk of personal injury, wear protective gloves when handling mounting plate.
STEP 3:
Prepare The Venting Blower
Before You Start
1. Remove any shipping materials and parts from inside the
microwave oven.
2. Cover the counter top or cooktop with a thick, protective
covering to protect it from damage and dirt. See Figure 10.
NOTE:
If you have a free-standing range, disconnect it, move it
onto a piece of cardboard or hardboard and pull it away
from the wall, so that you can get closer to the upper
cabinet and back wall for easier measuring and drilling.
Remove The Mounting Plate:
1. Remove mounting plate screw(s) (1 or 2 screws) from the
mounting plate as shown and discard. See Figure 11.
2. This plate will be used as the rear mounting plate. (It will be
used to locate and mark the mounting holes on the rear wall.)
3. Locate exhaust adaptor, grease filters and hardware packet.
4. At this point, remove any adhesive tape (if there is any), on the
exhaust adaptor, the grease filters and the power supply cord.
Room-Vented
(recirculating)
Installation:
This oven is shipped assembled for room-vented.
Wall-Vented Installation:
1. Remove one blower unit mounting screw and one or two
blower plate screw(s). Remove the blower plate from cabinet.
See Figure 12.
2. Carefully lift the blower unit out of the microwave oven.
3. Use side cutters or thin snips to cut and remove parts “B”
from Back plate. Discard parts "B". Be careful not to distort
the plate. See Figure 13.
DO NOT PULL OR STRETCH THE BLOWER WIRING!
Pulling and stretching the blower wiring could result in electrical
shock.
Your microwave oven is shipped with the blower assembled for room (recirculating) venting.
If you want wall - venting or roof venting installation, you must change the blower, as detailed below.
