PLACEMENT OF THE MOUNTING PLATE

REMOVING THE OVEN FROM

THE CARTON/REMOVING THE MOUNTING PLATE

Remove the turntable, installation instructions,

filters, exhaust adaptor, damper, shelf and the small hardware bag. Do not remove the foam packing protecting the front of the oven.

Fold back all 4 carton flaps fully against carton sides.

Then carefully roll the oven and carton over onto the top side. The oven should be resting in the foam packing.

Carton

Foam packing

Pull the carton up and off the oven.

The mounting plate is attached to the back of the

oven. Remove the two screws holding it to the oven. The plate will be used as the rear wall template and for mounting the oven to the wall.

FINDING THE WALL STUDS

Wall Studs

Center

Find the studs, using one of the following

methods:

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 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.

Draw a line down the center of the studs.

THE OVEN MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

Set the oven upright. Remove and properly discard

plastic bags and foam packing.

DETERMINING MOUNTING PLATE LOCATION UNDER YOUR CABINET

Plate Position – beneath flat bottom cabinet

Plate Position – beneath recessed bottom cabinet with front overhang.

Plate Position – beneath framed recessed cabinet bottom

30” to Cooktop

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30” space. Tape the Rear Wall Template onto the wall matching the centerline and touching the bottom cabinet frame.

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes with the microwave installation. Remove the decorative trim to install the microwave properly and to make it level.

Draw a line on the back wall equal to the depth of the front overhang

30” to Cooktop

THE MICROWAVE MUST BE LEVEL

Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.

If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with no back or side frame, install the mounting plate down the same distance as the front overhang depth. This will keep the microwave level.

Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.

Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal

distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth of the front overhang.

For this type of installation with front overhang only,

align the Rearwall Template with this horizontal line, not touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.
