INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS (MBES/MCES MODELS)

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 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.

The 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.

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.

Do not place the microwave 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 (2 year).

See page 308 for additional warranty details.

Microwaves are UL approved.

BUILT-IN MICROWAVES PLANNING INFORMATION

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The microwave oven must be on a separate circuit. No other appliance should share the circuit with the microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse may blow or the circuit breaker may trip, or the food may cook slower than recommended.

This appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into at least a 20 Amp, 120 volt, 60 Hz 3-wire, grounded outlet that is properly installed.

The voltage used must be the same as specified on this microwave oven (120v, 60Hz). Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or oven damage. Using a lower voltage will cause slow cooking.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
