WARNING

This mounting Kit is designed for use
with microwave ovens:
GE Spacemaker II

TM

, Spacemaker III

TM

and Hotpoint CounterSaver®models.

Before attempting the installation of
this kit, be sure to unplug the oven
from wall receptacle.

Your oven is designed to be installed
under properly constructed, good
condition wood or metal cabinets that
are sturdy enough to support the items
you have in the cabinet, plus an
additional 90 pounds from the cabinet
bottom.

Empty the contents of your selected
cabinet and the delicate items in
adjoining cabinets.
(NOTE: When drilling the holes, the
vibration could cause damage to
fragile items such as crystal or china.)
Now, you must inspect your cabinets.
If any of the following conditions exist,
then it is your personal responsibility
to test the cabinets or contact a
qualified cabinet maker.

1. Separation of joints between the
bottom shelf and the cabinet structure.

2. Splitting, cracking or other signs of
deterioration.

3. Check the number of screws used to
install your cabinets. If your cabinet is
attached to the wall with only two
screws at the top, then you must add
two screws at the bottom to firmly
secure your cabinets to the wall. When
adding the screws, be sure that they
enter wall studs with at least ½"
(12 mm) penetration.

4. On wood cabinets, the bottom shelf
must be at least

3

/16

" (4 mm) thick

masonite or plywood.

5. Be sure that the underside of the
cabinet is a least 24" (61 cm) wide and
12" (30.5 cm) deep. If the cabinet is
less than 12" (30.5 cm) deep, follow
the cabinet mounting instructions
(page 4) carefully if you desire to
mount your oven under your cabinet.

To test your cabinets, place a 90lb.
(40.8 kg) load, plus the equivalent
weight of items normally stored on this
shelf*, for a minimum of five minutes.

*You may consider using jugs of water,
bricks or books to obtain the test load.

PLEASE NOTE: If your cabinet is
properly constructed and suitably
installed it will withstand this test
without any damage: however, there is
the possibility of damage should the
cabinet be incapable of supporting the
additional load.

Mabe Canada Inc. is NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE
OR OTHER CONSEQUENCES
resulting from the performance of this
test.

If you are unsure that your cabinets
are suitable for this type of installation
you may use the oven on your
countertop.
