Getting Started Choosing a Location For Your Microwave Oven on the Counter You will use the microwave oven frequently so plan its location for ease of use. It's wise, if possible, to have counter space on at least one side of the microwave oven. Allow at least 2 inches on the sides, top and at the rear of the microwave oven for air circulation. For Your Built-in Microwave Oven Your microwave oven can be built into a cabinet or wall by itself or above any electric wall oven or warming drawer. Built-in Trim Kit Frame Assembly Outlet should NOT be in the shaded area as indicated. 1. If the dimension of DEPTH (C) is more than 21", the outlet location may be any area on the rear wall. 2. The floor of the opening should be constructed of plywood strong enough to support the weight of the microwave oven and floor load (about 100 pounds). The floor should be level for proper operation of the microwave oven. Be sure to check the local building code as it may require that the opening be enclosed with sides, ceiling and rear partition. The proper functioning of the microwave oven does not require the enclosure. Microwave Oven Front See built-in trim kit installation instructions for proper location when building in above the specified ovens. Carefully follow both the oven installation instructions and built-in trim kit instructions. The opening in the wall or cabinet must be within the following dimensions: A HEIGHT : 16 3/4" - 17" B WIDTH : 24 3/8" - 24 11/16" C DEPTH : minimum 20" Over Oven Installation 6" 4" A B 4" C The built-in trim kit includes all the necessary parts and easy-to-follow instructions for installation as well as location of the power supply. The ease of assembly for these kits will allow installation into an existing wall opening in less than an hour (if power outlet is already properly located). All it takes are four steps and a Phillips screw driver. 29 7/16" E 6
