for Frigidaire - Gallery 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave - Stainless-Steel

If I remember correctly, it can vent either way. I do know that mine was installed with venting to the outside.

This model of microwave oven/hood is designed for adaptation to three
types of hood ventilation systems.
RECIRCULATING — non-vented, ductless.
Recirculating requires the use of the Charcoal Filter, which has already been installed in the oven.
HORIZONTAL EXHAUST — outside ventilation.
VERTICAL EXHAUST — outside ventilation.

Yes. Everything you need is in the box. The only thing that was interesting to me was that, if the studs don't happen to be in the sweet spot needed you will need a 5/8" drill bit for the toggle bolts. You also need a 2" hole saw for the hole to run the cord through the cabniet. It even comes with a couple templates that make the holes easy to drill.

Yes it does. There's a bracket that mounts to the wall that holds the bottom of the microwave and two long machine thread screws and washers that hold the microwave up against the cabinet above.

Please help...I have this on order and realized it's only going to be 14 inches above my range. Will this be safe?

It will probably be safe but not very convenient.

It may be ok but keep in mind that the handle can get really hot. If you are concerned about flammability I do not see a risk of that

Ours is 17 in. above range and handle does get quite hot , so try to plan not to use the stove and the micro at the same time.

That's only when you are venting out of the top... Their is a metal flapper that you would install for that type of installation.

The damper door is designed to prevent air and debris from falling back into the unit when the vent is off. We do not recommend to remove this damper door.

The unit runs 14.2 Amps max. Most home recepticals are run for 15 Amps so you are at the edge of tripping the breaker. If you have something else on the circuit it could cause the breaker to trip. So you don't necessarily need a dedicated circuit, unlike your refrigerator if it stops not such a huge deal.

It is probably best to have the microwave oven on a circuit of its own.
