C5. MOUNT THE MICROWAVE OVEN
FOR EASIER INSTALLATION AND PERSONAL
SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND THAT TWO PEOPLE
INSTALL THIS MICROWAVE OVEN.
IMPORTANT: Do not grip or use handle during
installation.
NOTE: If your cabinet is metal, use the nylon
grommet around the power cord hole to prevent
cutting of the cord.
NOTE: We recommend using filler blocks if the
cabinet front hangs below the cabinet bottom shelf.
IMPORTANT: If filler blocks are not used, case
damage may occur from over tightening screws.
NOTE: When mounting the microwave oven, thread
power cord through hole in bottom of top cabinet.
Keep it tight throughout Steps 1–3. Do not pinch cord
or lift oven by pulling cord.
3.
Insert a self-aligning screw through top left
cabinet hole. Temporarily secure the oven by
turning the screw at least two full turns after the
threads have engaged. (It will be completely
tightened later.) Be sure to keep power cord
tight. Be careful not to pinch the cord,
especially when mounting flush to bottom of
cabinet.

Rotate front of oven
up against cabinet
bottom
1.
Lift microwave, tilt it
forward, and hook slots
at back bottom edge
onto four lower tabs of
mounting plate.
5.
Roll the blower unit so that the right exhaust
outlet faces the rear. Snap the inlet sleeve back
onto the left side with the opening facing down.
Note: The left side sleeve opening must always
face downward. Reinstall the 2 screws holding
the inlet sleeve to the motor assembly.
6.
Tilt and place the blower unit back into the
opening in the top of the microwave.
7.
Secure the blower unit to the microwave with the
two screws removed in Step 2.

Close the blower cover and secure it with the
screw removed in Step 1.
9.
Attach the exhaust adaptor to the rear of the
microwave by sliding it into the guides at the top
center of the back of the oven.
Push in securely until it is in the lower locking
tabs. Take care to assure that the damper hinge
is installed so that it is at the top and that the
damper swings freely. Reinstall the original
blower motor screw through the adaptor and into
the back of the microwave.
