Installation

• Remove any shipping materials and parts from inside the microwave oven. Set them aside for later use.

• Cover the countertop or cooktop with a thick, protective covering to protect it from damage and dirt.

  

  1. Blanket, cardboard or other covering

  Note

  • If you have a free-standing range, disconnect it, move it onto a piece of cardboard or hardboard and pull it away from the wall, so that you can get closer to the upper cabinet and back wall for easier measuring and drilling.

• Locate the exhaust adapter, grease filters and hardware packet.

• At this point, remove any adhesive tape (if there is any), on the exhaust adapter, the grease filters and the power supply cord.

Room-Venting (Recirculating) Installation

This oven is shipped assembled for room-venting.

Wall-Venting Installation

• Remove one or several blower plate mounting screw(s) a and one or two blower unit mounting screw(s) f. Remove the blower plate d from the cabinet.

  

  b Blower unit

  c Knockouts

  e Back plate

• Carefully lift the blower unit out of the microwave oven.

  

• Use side cutters or tin snips to cut out and remove the knockouts b from the back plate a. Be careful not to distort the back plate. Discard the knockouts.

  

• To avoid pinching the blower wire, make sure that it is channeled underneath and between the two exhaust ports when they are rotated.

  

• Rotate and reinstall the blower unit a so that the exhaust ports b face the rear of the cabinet and are aligned with the rear knockouts. When you insert the blower unit, the blower wire c must be routed as shown.

  

• Attach the blower plate d to the microwave oven so the blower unit exhaust ports c and blower plate opening are aligned. Attach one or two blower unit mounting screw(s) f and then one or several blower plate mounting screw(s) a.

  

  b Blower unit

  e Back plate

• Insert the tabs on each side of the damper into the holes at the inside rear of the adapter. Attach the exhaust adapter a to the back plate wall side. Push in securely until it is past the top locking tabs c and in the lower locking tabs c. Make sure that the damper hinge is at the top and that the damper swings freely.

Roof-Venting Installation

• Follow steps 1 and 2 under Wall-Venting Installation.

• Rotate and reinstall the blower unit a so that the exhaust ports b face the top of the cabinet. When you insert the blower unit, the blower wire c must be routed as shown.

  

• Attach blower plate d to microwave oven. Attach the one or two blower unit mounting screw(s) f and then the one or several blower plate mounting screw(s) a.

  

  b Blower unit

When changing the vent fan position for wall venting or roof venting:

• Properly align the ventilation fan openings and blower plate knockouts.

• Ventilation fan openings should be completely exposed to the outside.

• After installation, check the air ventilation path. Refer to step 2 for proper vent selection.

Improper installation can cause problems such as:

• Inability to assemble the blower plate or ventilation motor correctly

• Abnormal noise during product operation

• Weak ventilation

• Product overheating and the possibility of product breakdown or fire
