Thermador MCES Design Guide - Built-In Microwaves - Page 4

BuILT-IN MICROWAVES BuILT-IN MICROWAVES PLANNING INFORMATION MODEL OPTIONS There are two Thermador Built-in Microwaves to choose from-traditional and convection. 27-inch and 30-inch stainless steel trim kits are available for each. An optional stainless steel oven lift door is available for use with the traditional, non-convection model MBESLFTD only. The lift door conceals your microwave behind a coordinating stainless steel door with either a Masterpiece® or Professional Handle for a perfectly integrated appearance with other Thermador appliances in your kitchen. INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS The information in this design guide provides key features, product dimensions, cutouts and installation specifications. Before installing a Thermador microwave oven, be sure to verify the cabinet dimensions and electrical connections. Also, always consult with the installation manual packed with the product for complete details before installing. It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional requirements and/or standards apply to specific installations. MBES/MCES models must be used in conjunction with a 27-inch or 30-inch microwave trim kit. Your microwave oven can be installed into a cabinet or wall by itself or above any Thermador Built-in Oven. To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install microwave at least 3/4" above designated oven. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. Place the front surface of the door three inches or more from the counter top edge to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use. Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may be overheated and damaged. If the oven overheats, a thermal safety device will turn the oven off. The oven will remain inoperable until it has cooled. CAUTIOn: Electrical appliances must always be operated with the lift door open in order to ensure adequate ventilation! Do not place oven near a hot, damp surface such as a gas or electric range, dishwasher, or in an excessively humid room. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS The oven must be on a separate circuit. no other appliance should share the circuit with the microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse may blow or the circuit breaker may trip, or the food may cook slower than recommended. This appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into at least a 20 Amp, 120 Volt, 60 Hz three-prong, grounded outlet that is properly installed. The voltage used must be the same as specified on this microwave oven (120V, 60Hz). Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or oven damage. Using a lower voltage will cause slow cooking. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
