I just bought the microwave and am going to attempt to install it.
The one problem I have run into is the wiring. The microwave has a 3
prong plug while the existing hood is 3 wires. According to the
directions I need to plug this into an outlet located in the cabinet
above, which I do not have (the outlet that is).

What should I do?

Hi,

As long as the power supply for the range hood is a dedicated, min 15
amp line the wires can be fished from the hood into the cabinet above
and an plug outlet can be installed using the existing power supply.
