1. Prepare for Installation:
   • Ensure the microwave oven is completely unplugged from the electrical outlet.
   • Clear a clean, well-lit workspace.
   • Gather necessary tools (e.g., screwdrivers, pliers).
2. Access Internal Components:
   • Depending on your microwave model, this may involve removing the outer casing, control panel, or other components to gain access to the air flow assembly. Consult your microwave's service manual for precise steps.
3. Locate and Remove Old Part:
   • Identify the existing air flow deflector (refer to Figure 3, Part 1). It is typically located near the blower motor assembly.
   • Carefully disconnect any attached components or fasteners holding the old deflector in place. Note their positions for reassembly.
   • Remove the old DEFLCTR-AR part.
4. Install New Part:
   • Position the new Kircuit DEFLCTR-AR (Part 1) in the exact location where the old part was removed.
   • Ensure it aligns correctly with the blower assembly (Part 5 in Figure 3) and the main housing.
   • Secure the new part using the original fasteners or clips. Ensure it is firmly seated and does not wobble.
5. Reassemble Microwave:
   • Carefully reassemble all components that were removed, ensuring all wires are properly routed and not pinched.
   • Secure the outer casing and any panels.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after installing the DEFLCTR-AR part, consider the following:

• Part Does Not Fit: Double-check the model number of your microwave against the compatibility list in Section 4. Ensure the part is oriented correctly.

• Unusual Noises After Installation: Ensure all fasteners are tight and the new part is securely seated. Check that no wires or other components are interfering with moving parts (e.g., the blower fan).

For persistent issues, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional appliance repair service.
