conform to the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For all cord connected
appliances:
The microwave oven must be
grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. The
microwave oven is equipped with
a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and
grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of
the grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock.

CABINETS WITH DECORATIVE TRIM
IMPORTANT: The microwave must be level. If a decorative cabinet trim is interfering
with the installation and leveling of the microwave oven, remove the decorative trim.
1. Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level. If the cabinets have a front
overhang only, with no back or side frame, install the mounting plate down the
same distance as the front overhang depth. This will keep the microwave level.
2. Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
3. Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal distance below the cabinet
bottom as the inside depth of the front overhang.
4. For this type of installation with front overhang only, align the mounting tabs
with this horizontal line, not touching the cabinet bottom.
STEP 4 - ALIGN WALL-MOUNTING PLATE
1. Draw a Vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30” (76.2 cm) wide space.
