My existing over the range microwave has a standard plug which plugs into an outlet inside the cabinet above it. Does this model work the same way or does it need to be hard wired? null

Hi Eugene- The over-the-range microwave are equipped with a power cord. The cord comes out of the top of the unit on the right side (facing the front of the microwave).

Eugene, I had my electrician replace my old microwave with this new one last week. It had a plug too so it was an easy job for him to install. He also used the same brackets as the old one!

Yes, this has a standard 3 prong plug. I used this unit to replace a similar unit in my house and it is installed and working good. It did not need to be hard wired.
