Installation Instructions
Before you begin, carefully read the following
instructions.
Rear air
intake openings
Air vents
Installing your microwave oven
Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it
with a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage
such as misaligned door, damage around the
door or dents inside the oven or on the
exterior. If there is any damage, please do not
operate the unit until it has been checked by
an authorized Whirlpool” service technician
and any repairs have been made.
Put the oven on a cart, counter, table or shelf
that is strong enough to hold the oven and the
food and utensils you put in it. (The control
side of the unit is the heavy side. Use care
when handling.) The weight of the oven is
approximately 31 Ibs. (14 kg).
Do not block the rear air intake openings
and air vents on side of microwave oven.
Allow a few inches of air circulation on side
and back of oven where vents and intake
openings are located. Blocking the air intake
openings and air vents can cause damage to
the oven and poor cooking results. Make sure
the microwave oven legs are in place to
ensure proper airflow.
Do not install the oven next to or over a
heat source (for example a cooktop or
range) or in any area where excessive
heat and steam are generated. This could
damage the outside of the cabinet.
