Baumatic BTM17.2SS - Placing Your Microwave Oven

o ONCE YOU ARE SURE THAT YOUR OVEN IS NOT DAMAGED (EG. DENTS
OR A BROKEN DOOR) AND THAT THERE ARE NO PACKING MATERIALS
AND ACCESSORIES INSIDE IT, YOU CAN THEN INSTALL IT ON A FLAT
SURFACE SUCH AS A COUNTERTOP. BE SURE THAT THE SURFACE CAN
HOLD AT LEAST YOUR MICROWAVE’S WEIGHT (12.4 kg).
o
BEFORE PLACING ON YOUR COUNTERTOP: REMOVE ANY PROTECTIVE
FILM ON THE CABINET SURFACE.
o BUT DO NOT REMOVE THE LIGHT BROWN MICA COVER THAT IS SCREWED TO
THE OVEN CAVITY TO PROTECT THE MAGNETRON.
o FIND A LEVEL SURFACE THAT PROVIDES ENOUGH OPEN SPACE FOR
THE INTAKE AND OUTLET VENTS.
o YOU NEED TO LEAVE A MINIMUM OF 3.0 INCHES (7.5 CM) BETWEEN
THE OVEN AND ANY ADJACENT WALL. ONE SIDE MUST BE OPEN TO
ALLOW THE DOOR TO OPEN AND CLOSE.
o LEAVE A MINIMUM CLEARANCE OF 12 INCHES (30CM) ABOVE
THE OVEN.
o DO NOT REMOVE THE LEGS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE OVEN.
o DON’T LET ANYTHING BLOCK EITHER THE INTAKE OR THE
OUTLET OPENINGS AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THE OVEN.
o PLACE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM
RADIOS AND TELEVISIONS - YOUR OVEN MAY CAUSE SIGNAL
INTERFERENCE.
o UNLESS YOU ARE INSTALLING YOUR MICROWAVE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 10 , DO NOT
PUT YOUR OVEN ON TOP OF ANY OTHER HEAT-PRODUCING
APPLIANCE OR A RANGE COOKTOP
. DOING SO COULD DAMAGE
YOUR OVEN AND MAKE THE WARRANTY VOID.
