STEP 3: PREPARE THE VENTING

W A R N I N G

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

●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 room venting. If you want wall-venting or roof-vented installation, you must change the blower, as detailed below.

Before You Start

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 11.

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.

Remove The Mounting Plate:

1.Remove mounting plate screw(s) (1 or 2 screws) from the mounting plate as shown and discard. See Figure 12.
