CAUTION

Your microwave oven is shipped with the blower assembled for roof
venting. You need to adjust the blower if you want wall-venting or room-
vented (recirculating) installation.

DO NOT PULL OR STRETCH THE BLOWER WIRING! Pulling
and stretching the blower wiring could result in electrical shock.

Remove two screws that attach mounting plate to microwave oven cabinet.
See Figure 10.
Remove mounting plate and set aside. Replace the screws.

ROOF-VENTED INSTALLATION:

1. Insert one side of exhaust adaptor and attach with the one

tapping screw on the other side of exhaust adaptor to the blower
plate.

See Figure 11.

Go to STEP 4 on page 12.

WALL-VENTED INSTALLATION:

1. Remove one blower unit mounting screw and two blower plate screws.

Remove the blower plate from cabinet.
See Figure 12.

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

3. Use side cutters or tin snips to cut and remove knockouts parts “B” from

Back plate. Discard knockouts.
Be careful not to distort the plate. See Figure 13.

4. Rotate the unit so that the exhaust ports face the rear of the cabinet. See

Figure 14. When you insert blower unit, blower wire must be like figure 14.

5. Place blower unit back into cabinet. Check that the exhaust ports face

towards the rear of the cabinet.
See Figure 15.

6. Reattach the blower plate to cabinet so the exhaust ports and blower

plate opening are aligned.

mounting screws.
