PLACEMENT OF THE BUMP-OUT BRACKET
1
Find the studs, using one of the following methods:
A.
FINDING THE WALL STUDS
Level line for front overhang
Wall Studs
Center
1
A. Stud finder – a magnetic device which locates nails.
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting
surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate a stud
location.
After locating the stud(s), find the center by probing
2
the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud.
Then place a mark halfway between the edges. The
center of any adjacent studs should be 16" or 24" from
this mark.
3
Draw a line down the center of the studs.
THE OVEN MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST ONE
WALL STUD.
OR
ALIGNING THE WALL PLATE
B.
CAUTION: Wear gloves
to avoid cutting fingers
on sharp edges.
Hole Location A
Area E
Hole Location C
Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30”
1
wide space.
Use mounting plate as the template for the rear wall.
2
Place mounting plate on the wall, making sure that the
tabs are touching the bottom of the cabinet or the level
line drawn for cabinets with front overhang. Line up the
notch and center line on the mounting plate to the center
line on the wall. (If the tabs are not in line with front
overhang, unit will be tilted.)
3
While holding mounting plate with one hand, draw circles
on the wall at holes A, B, C and D (see illustration above) .
Four holes must be used for mounting.
NOTE: Appearance
and shape of the
mounting plate
may vary from your
model.
Draw a
Vertical Line
on Wall from
Center of Top
Cabinet
NOTE: Holes C and D are inside area E. If neither C nor D
is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E and draw
a fifth circle to line up with the stud. It is important to
use at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud to
support the weight of the oven.
Hole Location B
Hole Location D
Set the mounting plate aside.
Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3ø16” hole
4
for wood screws. For holes that don’t line up with a stud,
drill a 5ø8” hole for toggle bolts.
NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.
