result in electrical shock.
Your microwave oven is shipped with the blower assembled for roof venting. If you want wall-venting or
room-vented (recirculating) installation, you must change the fan, as detailed below.
Remove two screws that attach mounting plate to microwave oven
cabinet. See Figure 10.
Remove mounting plate and set aside. Replace the screws.
ROOF-VENTED INSTALLATION:
Go to STEP 4 on page 41.
WALL-VENTED INSTALLATION:
1. Remove one blower unit mounting screw and two blower plate
screws. Remove the blower plate from cabinet.
See Figure 11.
2. Carefully lift the blower unit out of the microwave oven.
3. Disconnect the blower motor power plug from the oven.
4. Rotate the unit so that the exhaust ports face the rear of the
cabinet. See Figure 13.
5. Reconnect the blower wire.
The blower wire must be replaced under the supporter.
See Figure 12.
6. Place blower unit back into cabinet. Check that the exhaust
ports face towards the rear and are aligned with the holes in the
back of the oven.
See Figure 14.
7. Use side cutters or tin snips to cut and remove knockouts
marked B from blower plate. Discard knockouts.
Be careful not to distort the plate. See Figure 15.
8. Reattach the blower plate to cabinet so the exhaust ports and
blower plate opening are aligned. Attach with one blower unit
mounting screw and then two blower plate mounting screws.
See Figure 16.
