NOTE: The ductwork you need for outside ventilation is not included with your oven. The standard ductwork
fittings and length Sears recommends are shown in Figure 7, page 9.
You may vent your oven in one of three ways:
Roof-venting If your oven is located on an outside wall near the roof, as in Figures 5 (3 1/4" x 10" duct)
and 6 (6" round duct.)
Wall-venting If your oven is located on an outside wall on the first floor of your house, as in
Figures 4 (3 1/4" x 10" duct) and 6 (6" round duct.)
Room-venting If your oven is located on an inside wall on the first floor of your house.
NOTE: If you choose the rear exhaust method (roof- or wall-venting), be sure there is enough clearance within
the wall for the exhaust duct.
REMEMBER AS YOU INSTALL THE VENTING:
●Keep the length of the ductwork and the number of elbows to a minimum to
ventilate your oven efficiently. See examples on page 9.
●Keep the size of the ductwork the same.
●Do not install two elbows together.

BEFORE YOU START —
1. Remove any shipping materials and parts from inside the
microwave oven.
2. Cover the counter top or cooktop with a thick, protective
covering to protect it from damage and dirt. See Figure 17.
NOTE: If you have a free-standing range, disconnect it,
move it onto a piece of cardboard or hardboard,
and pull it away from the wall, so that you can get
closer to the upper cabinet and back wall for easier
measuring and drilling.
MEASURE AND TACK / TAPE UP THE
TEMPLATES
1. Using a plumb line and (metal) measuring tape, find and
mark the vertical center line on the back wall, as
in Figure 18.
2. Find and mark one or two points where the studs are on
the wall (Studs are normally 16 inches apart.) and then
measure and mark the stud locations within the area
marked "H" on the wall template. If you cannot find any
wall stud, consult a local building contractor.
CAUTION
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE MICROWAVE
OVEN IF YOU CANNOT FIND A WALL STUD.
3. Line up the plumb line on the wall with the center line on
the wall template.
NOTE: Be sure the minimum width is 30 inches and the
distance from the top of the wall template to the
range or counter top at least 30 inches.
See Figure 3 on page 4.
4. Securely tape or tack the wall template to the wall.
See Figure 19.
NOTE: If the cabinets are not plumb, adjust the wall
template to the cabinets.
If the front edge of the cabinet is lower than the
back edge, adjust the wall template to be level with
the cabinet front.
5. Measure the bottom of the upper cabinet frame. Trim the
edges "A" "B" and "C" on the upper cabinet template so
that the template will fit on the bottom of the upper
cabinet. If upper cabinet has a recessed frame, trim
template so that it fits inside the recessed area. Align the
centerline of the upper cabinet template with the
centerline of the wall template; then securely tape or tack
the upper cabinet template in place. See Figure 19.

DRILL THE HOLES IN THE WALL AND UPPER CABINET.
1. Find the points on the wall template labeled "D", "E", "F", and "G". Drill a 3/16" diameter hole at any points that
are over a wall stud. Drill a 3/4" diameter hole at any points over drywall.
2. Locate the wall stud closest to the center of the areas marked "H" and "I" on the wall template. Drill 3/16" holes
into the wall stud in each of the areas. If a wall stud is not located within these areas, drill 3/4" diameter holes
nearest to the center of the areas as possible.
If there is not a wall stud within the areas marked "H" and "I" and not behind points marked "D", "E", "F" and
"G", DO NOT install microwave oven. (Consult building inspector.)
3. Drill a 3/8" hole at points "J", "K" and "N" on the upper cabinet template.
NOTE: If the bottom of the upper cabinet is recessed 3/4" or more, you may use 2"x2" filler blocks (not
included) to provide additional support for the bolts. See Figure 20.
•Mark the center of each filler block and drill a 3/8" diameter hole at the marks.
•Align filler blocks over the two openings in the top of the microwave oven cabinet and attach to
cabinet with masking tape. See Figere 21.
4. Cut or drill a "2" diameter hole at the area marked "M", "Power-supply-cord-hole" on the upper cabinet
template. If the upper cabinet is metal, you will need to cover the edge of the hole with the power-supply-cord
bushing (supplied) to prevent damage to the cord from the rough metal edge.
YOU MUST COVER THE EDGE OF THE
POWER-SUPPLY-CORD-HOLE IN A METAL
CABINET WITH THE POWER-SUPPLY-CORD
BUSHING. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE CORD AND
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
5. Cut out the venting areas (with the saber saw):
•Roof-Vented - cut out the shaded area marked "L"
on the upper cabinet template.
•Wall-Vented - cut out the shaded area marked "O"
on the wall template.
•Room-Vented - go to STEP 5, INSTALLING THE
MOUNTING PLATE, located on the next page.
