page 1 of these instructions.
CAUTION:
Cutout dimensions are critical. Dimensions must be measured
and cut accurately to 1/16

* Jenn-Air Over-the-Range microwave ovens (model #M418 and M438)
have been listed by UL for use over Gas and Electric Ranges. When
properly installed at a minimum height of 66 inches (167.64 cm) from the
floor to the top of the microwave, the clearance to the cooking surface at
the center will be 13-3/4 inches (34.93 cm).
IMPORTANT PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to prevent damage
from chipping.
2. Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth edges and prevent
corner cracking.
3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been rounded and forced
fits can contribute to cracking of the countertop laminate.
4. Countertop must be supported within 3
