Materials Needed
Standard fittings for wall or roof venting. See the "Venting
Design Specifications" section.
Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: Check the opening where the microwave oven will
be installed. The location must provide:
Minimum installation dimensions. See the "Installation
■
Dimensions" illustration.
Minimum one 2" x 4" (5.1 cm x 10.2 cm) wood wall stud
■
and minimum 3/8" (9.5 mm) thickness drywall or plaster/lath
within cabinet opening.
Support for weight of 150 lbs (68 kg) which includes
■
microwave oven and items placed inside the microwave
oven and upper cabinet.
Grounded electrical outlet inside upper cabinet. See the
■
"Electrical Requirements" section.
NOTE: 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.
