Before you begin operating the oven, carefully read the following instructions.

1. Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it with

a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such as a
door that isn’t lined up correctly, damage around
the door, or dents inside the oven or on the
exterior. If there is any damage, do not operate the
oven until a designated service technician has
checked it and made any needed repairs.

2. Put the oven on a cart, counter, table, or shelf that is

strong enough to hold the oven and the food and
utensils you put in it. (The control side of the unit
is the heavy side. Use care when handling the
oven.) 
The weight of the oven is about 35 lbs 
(16 kg). The microwave oven should be at a 
temperature above 50°F (10°C) for proper operation.

NOTE: (For Model MT2145SJ only) You can build
your microwave oven into a wall or cabinet by using
one of the trim kits listed in the “Built-in kits” section.

NOTE: Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake
openings. Allow a few inches of space at the back
and side of the oven where the exhaust vents are lo-
cated. Blocking the exhaust vents could cause
damage to the oven and poor cooking results. Make
sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure
proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive
thermal safety device 
automatically turns the oven off. The oven should
work properly once it has cooled.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not install the oven next to or over a heat
source without a UL approved trim kit.

Doing so can result in death, fire, 
or electrical shock.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120
Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical
supply is required. (A time-delay fuse is 
recommended.) It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
