Model Options, Installation Considerations

MODEL OPTIONS

There are two Thermador Built-in Microwaves to choose from—traditional and convection. 27-inch and 30-inch stainless steel trim kits are available for each.

An optional stainless steel oven lift door is available for use with the traditional, non-convection model MBESLFTD only. The lift door conceals your microwave behind a coordinating stainless steel door with either a Masterpiece® or Professional Handle for a perfectly integrated appearance with other Thermador appliances in your kitchen.

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.

MBES/MCES models must be used in conjunction with a 27-inch or 30-inch microwave trim kit.

Your microwave oven can be installed into a cabinet or wall by itself or above any Thermador Built-in Oven.

To reduce the risk of ﬁre and electric shock, install microwave at least 3/4" above designated oven.

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 microwave oven during normal use.

Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during 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!

Do not place oven near a hot, damp surface such as a gas or electric range, dishwasher, or in an excessively humid room.

WARRANTY

Limited warranty parts and labor (1 year).

See page 294 for additional warranty details.

Microwaves are UL approved.
