INSTALLATION

STEP 3: PREPARE THE VENTING BLOWER

CAUTION

To avoid risk of property damage, unplug the microwave oven or disconnect power at source by removing fuse or throwing circuit breaker.

•CAUTION

To avoid risk of personal injury, wear protective gloves when handling mounting plate.

•DO NOT PULL OR STRETCH THE BLOWER WIRING!

Pulling and stretching the blower wiring could result in electrical shock.

Your microwave oven is shipped with the blower assembled for roof venting. If you want wall-venting or room-vented (recirculating) installation, you must change the fan, as detailed below.

REMOVE THE MOUNTING PLATE:

1.Remove any shipping materials and parts from inside the microwave oven.

2.Cover the counter top or cooktop with a thick, protective covering to protect it from damage and dirt. See Figure 10. 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.

3.Remove mounting plate screw(s) (1 or 2 screws) from the mounting plate as shown and discard. See Figure 11.

4.This plate will be used as the rear mounting plate.

(It will be used to locate and mark the mounting holes on the rear wall.)

5.Locate exhaust adaptor, grease filters and hardware packet.

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

WALL-VENTEDINSTALLATION:

1.Remove one blower unit mounting screw and one blower plate screw. Remove the blower plate from cabinet. See Figure 13.

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

3.Use side cutters or tin snips to cut and remove knockouts "B" from Back plate. Discard knockouts. Be careful not to distort the plate. See Figure 14.
