INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Remove Mounting Plate Depending on your model, the mounting plate may be in the foam packaging, or it may be attached to the back of the microwave oven. NOTE: To avoid possible damage to the work surface, cover the work surface. 1. Remove any remaining contents from the microwave oven cavity. 2. If the mounting plate is attached to the back of the microwave oven, remove it and set it aside. 3. Tape the microwave oven door closed so that door does not swing open while the microwave oven is being handled. NOTE: To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not grip or use the door or door handle while the microwave oven is being handled. 2. With vent deflector oriented as shown (wide side down), slide it back and under the back edge of the vent opening. A B Convert Microwave Oven to External Venting (for wall or roof venting only) The microwave oven is set for recirculation installation. For wall or roof venting, changes must be made to the venting system. See "Venting Design Specifications" section. NOTE: Skip this section if you are using recirculation installation. Keep the damper assembly in case the venting method is changed, or the microwave oven is reinstalled in another location where wall or roof venting may be used. To prepare the microwave oven for wall or roof venting, the vent deflector (L-shaped metal bar) must be installed, and the appropriate damper vent opening must be uncovered. A. Vent opening B.

The vent deflector holes should align with mounting holes in the vent opening, as shown in inset. A B To Install Vent Deflector: 1.
