Prepare Upper Cabinet 1. Disconnect power to outlet. 2. Remove all contents from upper cabinet. 3. Place Upper Cabinet Template against the bottom of the upper cabinet, and attach with tape or thumbtacks. Make sure the template centerline aligns with the vertical centerline on the rear wall. The "rear wall" arrows must be against the rear wall so that the holes cut into the upper cabinet align with the holes in the top of the microwave oven. NOTES: ■■ If the upper cabinet has a frame around it, trim the template edges so that it fits inside the frame, against the upper cabinet bottom. The template has trim lines to use as guides. ■■ If the wall behind the microwave oven (as installed) has a partial wall covering (for example, tile backsplash), be sure the "Rear Wall" arrows align to the thickest part of t he rear wall (for example, the thickness of the tiles rather than the drywall). 4. Make sure the 10" (25.4 cm) dimension from the rear wall to points "D" and "E" on the template is maintained. Install Damper Assembly (for wall venting only) 1. Check that damper blade moves freely and opens fully. 2. Position the damper assembly on the back of the microwave oven so that the damper blade hinge is at the top, and the damper blade opens away from the microwave oven.

Disconnect power to outlet.
2.
Remove all contents from upper cabinet.

Place Upper Cabinet Template against the bottom of the
upper cabinet, and attach with tape or thumbtacks. Make
sure the template centerline aligns with the vertical centerline
on the rear wall.
The “rear wall” arrows must be against the rear wall so that
the holes cut into the upper cabinet align with the holes in
the top of the microwave oven.
NOTES:
■
If the upper cabinet has a frame around it, trim the template
edges so that it fits inside the frame, against the upper
cabinet bottom. The template has trim lines to use as guides.
■
If the wall behind the microwave oven (as installed) has a
partial wall covering (for example, tile backsplash), be sure
the “Rear Wall” arrows align to the thickest part of t he rear
wall (for example, the thickness of the tiles rather than the
drywall).
4.
Make sure the 10" (25.4 cm) dimension from the rear wall to
points “D” and “E” on the template is maintained.
5.
Cut the 1

" (3.8 cm) diameter hole at the circular shaded
area “G” on the template. This hole is for the power supply
cord.
NOTE:
If upper cabinet is metal, the supply cord bushing needs
to be installed around the supply cord hole as shown.
6.
Drill 3/8" (10 mm) holes at points “D” and “E” on the
template. These are for two 1/4-20 x 3" bolts and washers
used to secure the microwave oven to the upper cabinet.
For Roof Venting Installation Only:
7.
Cut 3/4" (1.9 cm) hole at one corner of the shaded
rectangular area “F” on Upper Cabinet Template.
8.
Using a keyhole saw, cut out the rectangular area.
Install Damper Assembly
