least 6" (15.2 cm) of clearance between the wall and the microwave oven
so that the door can open fully.
• Some cabinet and building materials are not designed to withstand the
heat produced by the microwave oven for cooking. Check with your
builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used will not
discolor, delaminate, or sustain other damages.

For Roof Venting Installation Only:
• If you are using a rectangular-to-round transition piece, the 3" (7.6 cm)
clearance needs to exist above the microwave oven so that the damper
blade can open freely and fully.
