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.

Insert a self-aligning screw through top center

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.

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.

Lift microwave, tilt it

forward, and hook

slots at back bottom

edge onto four lower

tabs of mounting

plate.

damper pivots easily before mounting microwave.

You will need to make adjustments to assure proper

alignment with your house exhaust duct after the

microwave is installed.
