Location Requirements

The microwave oven may be installed over a built-in oven. If installing over a built-in oven, make sure there is a minimum of 3" (7.6 cm) between the top of the lower oven cutout and the microwave oven cutout floor.

The microwave oven may also be installed in a cabinet by itself (without a built-in oven below). For best usability, we recommend a minimum distance of 36" (91.4 cm) from the floor to the cutout floor.

Make sure the surrounding cabinetry has clearance to open and close freely. Allow a clearance of at least 1⁹⁄₁₆" (4.0 cm) below the cutout floor (3" [7.6 cm] for installation above a built-in oven), and a clearance of at least 2" (5.1 cm) above the cutout opening.

	receptacle

NOTES:

■Depth requirements depend upon receptacle and its location within or outside of recommended region. See illustration and chart above.

■Height dimension is critical: 17" (43.2 cm) minimum, 17¹⁄₈" (43.5 cm) maximum.

■Width measurement has ±1/16" (2 mm) tolerance.

■3" (7.6 cm) minimum dimension is from lower oven cutout ceiling to microwave oven cutout floor.

■Trim kit frame extends 1¹⁄₁₆" (2.7 cm) above and below the cutout opening.
