Remove Mounting Plate

NOTE: To avoid possible damage to the work surface, cover the 
work surface.
1. Remove any remaining contents from the microwave oven 

cavity.

2. Remove the mounting plate by peeling off the strips of tape 

that attach it to the back of the microwave oven, and set the 
mounting plate aside.

3. Tape the microwave oven door closed so that door does not 

swing open while the microwave oven is being handled.

NOTE: To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not grip or 
use the door or door handle while the microwave oven is being 
handled.

Convert Microwave Oven to 

External Venting

(for wall or roof venting only)

The microwave oven is set for recirculation installation. For wall or 
roof venting, changes must be made to the venting system. See 
“Venting Design Specifications” section.
NOTE: Skip this section if you are using recirculation installation. 
Keep the damper assembly in case the venting method is 
changed, or the microwave oven is reinstalled in another location 
where wall or roof venting may be used.
To prepare the microwave oven for wall or roof venting, the vent 
deflector (L-shaped metal bar) must be installed, and the 
appropriate damper vent opening must be uncovered.

To Install Vent Deflector:

1. Gently pull the rings and lift vent screen from the top of the 

microwave oven.

2. With vent deflector oriented as shown (wide side down), slide 

it back and under the back edge of the vent opening.
