INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The information in this design guide provides key
features, product dimensions, cutouts and installation
specifications. Before installing a Thermador microwave
oven, be sure to verify the cabinet dimensions and
electrical connections. Also, always consult with the
installation manual packed with the product for complete
details before installing.
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.

The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. Place
the front surface of the door three inches or more from
the counter top edge to avoid accidental tipping of the

operation, the oven may be overheated and damaged.
If the oven overheats, a thermal safety device will turn
the oven off. The oven will remain inoperable until it has
cooled.
CAUTIOn: Electrical appliances must always be
operated with the lift door open in order to ensure
adequate ventilation!

circuit with the microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse may blow or
the circuit breaker may trip, or the food may cook slower than recommended.
This appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into at
least a 20 Amp, 120 Volt, 60 Hz three-prong, grounded outlet that is properly
installed.
The voltage used must be the same as specified on this microwave oven
(120V, 60Hz). Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or
