Unpack oven, remove all packing material and examine the oven for any dam-
age such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the door. Notify dealer
immediately if oven is damaged. DO NOT install if oven is damaged.
Placement of Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. Place the front surface of
the door three inches or more from the counter top edge to avoid accidental
tipping of the microwave oven during normal use. For proper operation, the
oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 3-inches (7.6 cm) of space on both
sides of the oven and 1-inch (2.5 cm) of space on top of the oven.
(a) DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven  
may be overheated and damaged.

range, or dishwasher.

inches (916 mm) or higher above floor level. It is not intended for built-in oper-
ation and is not approved or tested for commercial or marine use.
