STEP 3: PREPARE THE VENTING BLOWER 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. ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD!UNPLUG UNIT BEFORE WORKING ON IT. · DO NOT PULL OR STRETCH THE BLOWER WIRING!Pulling and stretching the blower wiring could result in electrical shock. WARNING REMOVE THE MOUNTING PLATE: 1. Remove any shipping materials and parts from inside the microwave oven. Cover the countertop or cooktop with a thick, protective covering to protect it from damage and dirt. Cut or drill a 2" diameter hole at the area marked M, "power supply cord hole" on the upper cabinet template. If the upper cabinet is metal, you will need to cover the edge of the hole with the power supply cord bushing (supplied) to prevent damage to the cord from the rough metal edge. WARNING YOU MUST COVER THE EDGE OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD HOLE IN A METAL CABINET WITH THE POWER SUPPLY CORD BUSHING. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE CORD AND ELECTRIC SHOCK. 4. Cut out the venting areas (with the saber saw): · Roof-Vented: · Wall-Vented: cut out the shaded area marked L on the upper cabinet template. Use caulking compound to seal the exterior wall or roof opening around the wall cap or roof cap. 14 STEP 5: INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE TO THE WALL CONNECTING THE OVEN TO A WALL STUD: NOTE: The oven must be connected to at least one wall stud. 1. Place the mounting plate on the wall, making sure that the tabs are against the bottom of the cabinet. Line up the notch and center line on the mounting plate to the center line on the wall. While holding the mounting plate with one hand, draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C and D. Use toggle bolts through these holes unless one of them lines up with a stud. Use a lag screw for studs. Minimum 66" From the Floor For WallVented Only 3/16" Hole on Studs 3/4" Hole on Drywall Only NOTE: Draw a fifth circle inside area E, through one of the holes to match the location of a stud. For wall-vented: The oven requires a rear wall cutout opening for the rear wall duct and the exhaust adaptor must be attached to the mounting plate. [. . . ] After completing the installation of the mounting plate, again check the rear damper for free movement to assure it will operate properly.
