Materials Needed
Standard fittings for wall or roof venting. See the "Venting Design

IMPORTANT: Check the opening where the microwave oven will
be installed. The location must provide:

NOTES:
If installing the microwave oven near a left sidewall, make
■
sure there is at least 6" (15.2 cm) of clearance between the
wall and the microwave oven so that the door can open fully.
Some cabinet and building materials are not designed to
■
withstand the heat produced by the microwave oven for
cooking. Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make
sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate, or
sustain other damages.
Special Requirements

For Wall Venting Installation Only:
Cutout must be free of any obstructions so that the vent fits
■
properly and the damper blade opens freely and fully.
For Roof Venting Installation Only:
If you are using a rectangular-to-round transition piece, the
■
3" (7.6 cm) clearance needs to exist above the microwave
oven so that the damper blade can open freely and fully. See
"Rectangular to Round Transition" illustration in the "Venting
Design Specifications" section.
