Beyond Bending Tell You How
If you have recently purchased a Whirlpool microwave hood combination, you may be wondering how to install it. Don’t worry, with a little bit of patience and following steps, you can easily install your new appliance. In this article, we will guide you through the installation process step by step.
Gather Your Tools and Materials
Before you begin, make sure you have all the required tools and materials. You will need a drill, a screwdriver, a measuring tape, a pencil, and a level. You will also need the mounting hardware that came with your microwave hood combination, which includes bolts, screws, and brackets. Make sure you have all these tools and materials in one place before you start the installation process.
Choose the Location for Your Microwave Hood Combination
The first step in the installation process is to choose the location for your microwave hood combination. You need to make sure that the location you choose is near an electrical outlet and is properly vented to the outside. You also need to make sure that the location is strong enough to support the weight of the microwave hood combination. Once you have chosen the location, mark it with a pencil.
Prepare the Mounting Plate
Next, you need to prepare the mounting plate for your microwave hood combination. The mounting plate is the piece of metal that will attach to the wall and hold the microwave hood combination in place. You need to attach the mounting plate to the wall using the bolts and screws that came with your microwave hood combination. Make sure that the mounting plate is level before you attach it to the wall.
Install the Exhaust Fan
Once the mounting plate is in place, you need to install the exhaust fan. The exhaust fan is the piece of equipment that will vent the smoke and steam from your stove to the outside. You need to attach the exhaust fan to the mounting plate using the brackets that came with your microwave hood combination. Make sure that the exhaust fan is level before you attach it to the mounting plate.
Install the Microwave
After the exhaust fan is installed, you can now install the microwave. Carefully lift the microwave and place it on the mounting plate. Make sure that the microwave is centered and level before you attach it to the mounting plate. Once the microwave is in place, you can attach it to the mounting plate using the bolts and screws that came with your microwave hood combination.
Connect the Electrical Wiring
Now that the microwave hood combination is in place, you need to connect the electrical wiring. You should have an electrical outlet near the location you chose for your microwave hood combination. You need to plug the microwave hood combination into the electrical outlet. Make sure that the electrical wiring is properly grounded and that there are no exposed wires.
Test the Microwave Hood Combination
The last step in the installation process is to test the microwave hood combination. Turn on the microwave and make sure that it is working properly. Test the exhaust fan to make sure that it is venting properly to the outside. If everything is working properly, congratulations, you have successfully installed your Whirlpool microwave hood combination!
Final Words
Installing a Whirlpool microwave hood combination may seem like a daunting task, but with these easy to follow steps, you should be able to install your new appliance without any problems. Make sure that you have all the required tools and materials before you begin and take your time to make sure that everything is installed properly.
