Installation Instructions - Whirlpool MIcrowave Ovens Use And Care Manual

Installation instructions
BEFORE YOU BEGIN, READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY.
Installing your microwave oven
1.
Empty the microwave oven and clean rnsrde It
with a soft damp cloth. Check for damage such
as misaligned door, damage around the door or
dents inside the oven or on the exterior. If there is
any damage, do not operate the unit until it has
been checked by an authorized Whirlpool serv-
ice technician and any repair made
3. Do not block the vent openings on the rear
of the oven or the air intake openings on the
bottom of the oven. Blocking vent or air intake
openings can cause poor cooking results. The air
from these vent openings will also contain mols-
ture and should not be vented onto overhead
cabinets.
Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place.
Do not set the oven on anything that will block the
air intake openings.
TOP
2. Put the oven on a cart counter, table or shelf
that is strong enough to hold the oven and the
food and utensils you put in it. (The control side of
the unit is the heavy side. Use care when han-
dling.) The weight of the oven is approximately 70
Ibs. (31.75 kg).
SIDE
4. Do not install the microwave oven so that
both sides and the top are flush with walls or
cabinets. One side or the top must have at least
1 in. (2.54 cm] clearance for proper operation.
Do not install the oven next to a conventional
surface unit or in any area where excessive heat
and steam are generated. This could damage
the outside of the cabinet.
