INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Remove Mounting Plate
Depending on your model, the mounting plate may be in the foam
packaging, or it may be attached to the back of the microwave
oven.
NOTE: To avoid possible damage to the work surface, cover the
work surface.
1. Remove any remaining contents from the microwave oven
cavity.
2. If the mounting plate is attached to the back of the microwave
oven, remove it and set it aside.
3. Tape the microwave oven door closed so that door does not
swing open while the microwave oven is being handled.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not grip or
use the door or door handle while the microwave oven is being
handled.
Convert Microwave Oven to
External Venting
(for wall or roof venting only)
The microwave oven is set for recirculation installation. For wall or
roof venting, changes must be made to the venting system. See
“Venting Design Specifications” section.
NOTE: Skip this section if you are using recirculation installation.
Keep the damper assembly in case the venting method is
changed, or the microwave oven is reinstalled in another location
where wall or roof venting may be used.
To prepare the microwave oven for wall or roof venting, the vent
deflector (L-shaped metal bar) must be installed, and the
appropriate damper vent opening must be uncovered.
To Install Vent Deflector:
1. Gently pull the rings and lift vent screen from the top of the
microwave oven.
2. With vent deflector oriented as shown (wide side down), slide
it back and under the back edge of the vent opening.
3. When the vent deflector is as far back as it can easily slide, flip
it so that the wide side is to the back of the microwave oven,
and the narrow side (with holes) is down. The vent deflector
holes should align with mounting holes in the vent opening, as
shown in inset.
4. Secure vent deflector with 2 mounting screws (1 on each end).
5. Replace vent screen
