Step 2: Cabinet Preparation
Figure 2
• The cabinet cutout dimensions are shown in
Figure 1.
• It is a good practice when the microwave oven
is installed at the end of a cabinet run, adja-
cent to a perpendicular wall or cabinet door,
to allow at least
1/4"
space between the side
of the trim and wall or door.
• Your microwave oven can be installed into a
cabinet or wall by itself or above any of the
following Thermador wall ovens: C271, C301,
CM301, S301, SC301. Or, Thermador Warm-
ing Drawers WD27 and WD30 (see Figure 2).
• Outlet can be located anywhere within the
shaded area as indicated in Figure 1.

Step 4: Installing the Trim Kit
Position the two vertical trim brackets using the template as shown on Figure 3.
Mark the center line of the cutout using the template.
The template is used to locate the positions of the left and right trim brackets with
respect to the cut out. The trims are secured with three (3) screws each and the
template is discarded thereafter.
Step 3: Electrical Installation
The Thermador microwave oven is equipped with a grounded cord. The wall receptacle must
be installed and grounded in accordance with the national electrical code. Also, electrical
connections and grounding must comply with all applicable local codes.
The electrical requirements for a separate circuit serving only this microwave oven are: 120V,
60Hz, 20Amps
