IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or electrical shock

may result that could cause property damage, personal injury or death.
To reduce the risk of tipping, the Drawer Microwave must be secured by a properly

installed Anti-Tip block.
Do not install drawer in any combustible cabinetry unless it meets the stated

clearances and dimensions on the following pages. See Figure 1, 2 and 3.

• Make sure the wall coverings and the cabinets around the Drawer Microwave can withstand the

heat generated by the appliance.

Never leave children alone or unattended in the area where a Drawer Microwave is

in use. Never leave the drawer open when the microwave is unattended.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the drawer may result in serious injuries and can also

cause damage to the Drawer Microwave.

CLEARANCES AND DIMENSIONS

ABOUT DIMENSIONS

• Figure 1 shows dimensions of the unit. Figures 2 - 3 provide minimum clearance for standard

(non-flush) installation. Figures 4 - 9 show clearances and additional information for flush

installation. Suggested electrical outlet location is shown in figures 2 - 6.

• Contact surface must be solid and level. Pay special attention to the floor on which the Drawer

Microwave will sit. The floor of the opening should be constructed of plywood strong enough

to support the weight of the unit–about 100 pounds [45 kg].

• Check location where the Drawer Microwave will be installed for proper electrical supply.
• Your Drawer Microwave can be installed into a cabinet by itself or below any electric or gas wall

oven. Be sure that the clearance of the floor between the wall oven and the Drawer Microwave

is a minimum of 2 inches [5.1 cm].

• Always check electrical codes for requirements.

The Drawer Microwave must be placed close enough to the electrical outlet so that

the cord is not under tension.

See Figures 1 - 6 for required clearances and dimensions when planning the drawer’s location.

An electrical outlet in an adjacent cabinet can be used, as long as the provided electrical cord

can reach without pulling tight. Power cord access hole in cabinet should be a minimum 1 1/2" [3.8

cm] diameter hole and deburred of all sharp edges.
