Setting up your microwave

Installation:

1) Remove all packing 
materials and accessories. 
Examine the oven for any 
damage such as dents or 
broken door. Do not install if 
oven is damaged.

2) Select a level surface that 
provides enough open space 
for ventilation. Allow for 3 
inches of open space next to 
the sides and back of the 
microwave. Allow for 12 
inches of open space above 
the microwave. Do not place 
any items on top of 
microwave and do not 
remove the legs from the 
bottom of the microwave.

3) Place the microwave as 
far away as possible from 
radios and televisions. 
Microwave may cause 
interference to these 
appliances.

4) Plug the microwave into a 
standard household outlet. 
Check the rating label of the 
microwave to ensure the 
voltage and frequency are 
compatible with the outlet.

5) Do not install microwave 
over a range cook top or 
other heat-producing 
appliance. Heat can damage 
the microwave and void the 
warranty.

To order a replacement turntable, call TTI Appliances at 1 800 579 7990

.  Do not remove the mica board

immediately and contact Hamilton Beach if the 
mica board becomes damaged or is missing.
