INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Tools and Parts

Tools Needed

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. 
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools 
listed here.

Parts Supplied

For reorder information, see “Replacement Parts” section.

NOTE: 

The hardware items listed here are for wood studs. For 

other types of wall structures, be sure to use appropriate 
fasteners.

NOTE:

 Depending on model, aluminum grease filter and charcoal 

filter may be combined.

Materials needed

Standard fittings for wall or roof venting. See “Venting Design 
Specifications” section.

Remove Cardboard Template

The cardboard piece from the top of the microwave oven 
packaging is perforated. The piece inside the perforation is for use 
as a rear wall template.

1.

Cut along the perforation to separate the template from the 
rest of the cardboard packaging.

2.

Set the cardboard template to the side and refer to it during 
the “Mark Rear Wall” part of installation.

Location Requirements

Check the opening where the microwave oven will be installed. 
The location must provide:

Minimum installation dimensions. See “Installation 
Dimensions” illustration.

Minimum one 2" x 4" (50.8 x 101.6 mm) wood wall stud and 
minimum 3/8" (9.5 mm) 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 
“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 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 fits 
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 “Venting 
Design Specifications” section.
