STEP 3: Prepare
The Venting Blower
WARNING
To avoid risk of property
damage,
unplug the microwave
oven or disconnect
power at
source by removing
fuse or throwing
circuit breaker.
To avoid risk of personal
injury, wear protective
gloves when handling
mounting
plate.
DO NOT PULL OR STRETCH THE BLOWER WIRING! Pulling and stretching the blower wiring could 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.
Before
You Start
1. Remove any shipping materials and parts from inside the
microwave oven.
2. Cover the counter top or cooktop with a thick, protective
covering to protect it from damage and dirt. See Figure 10.
NOTE: If you have a free-standing
range, disconnect it, move it
onto a piece of cardboard or hardboard and pull it away
from the wall, so that you can get closer to the upper
cabinet and back wall for easier measuring and drilling.
Remove
The Mounting
Plate:
1. Remove mounting plate screw(s) (1 or 2 screws) from the
mounting plate as shown and discard. See Figure 1 1.
2. This plate will be used as the rear mounting plate. (It will be
used to locate and mark the mounting holes on the rear wall.)
3. Locate exhaust adaptor, grease filters and hardware packet.
4. At this point, remove any adhesive tape (if there is any), on the
exhaust adaptor, the grease filters and the power supply cord.
Roof-Vented
Installation:
This oven is shipped assembled for roof-vented. You will need to
install the exhaust adaptor regardless of cabinet.
1. Attach the exhaust adaptor to the blower plate by sliding it into
the guides. See Figure 12.
Wall-Vented
Installation:
1. Remove one blower unit mounting screw and one or two
blower plate screw(s). Remove the blower plate from cabinet.
See Figure 13.
2. Carefully lift the blower unit out of the microwave oven.
3. Use side cutters or thin snips to cut and remove knockouts "B"
from Back plate. Discard knockouts. Be careful not to distort
the plate. See Figure 14.
