Installation Cutouts and Clearances
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION NOTICES
Dimensions shown are precise, and cutout dimensions provide minimum clearances.
• Contact surface must be solid and level. The cabinet floor of the opening should be constructed
of plywood strong enough to support roughly 100 lb (45 kg).
• Microwaves can be built into a cabinet by itself or under a gas or electric wall oven. Clearance
between a wall oven and microwave must be a minimum of 2" (51 mm).
• The recommended electrical outlet location in the shaded area in the upper left-hand corner
of the cabinet (see page 11) is for a flush-mounted outlet.
• The unit can be installed using an electrical outlet behind the cabinet or in an adjacent cabinet
within an area where the provided electrical cord can reach.
• The power cord access hole inside the cabinet should have a minimum diameter of 1 1/2"
(38 mm) and be free of sharp edges. Always allow sufficient power cord length to the
electrical outlet location to prevent tension.
• Always consult a professional installer to confirm cabinet dimensions prior to installing
the microwave, as kitchen layouts vary. This is especially important when installing a 30"
(762 mm) model, as the front panel width (29 3/4", 756 mm) is considerably larger than the
product width itself (22 1/8", 562 mm).
