WALL CONSTRUCTION
This microwave oven should be mounted against and supported by a flat
vertical wall. The wall must be flat for proper installation. If the wall is not
flat, use spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall construction should be a minimum
of 2”x 4” wood studding and 3/8” or more thick dry wall or plaster/lath.
The mounting surfaces must be capable of supporting weight of 110
pounds (the oven and contents) and the weight of all items which would
normally be stored in the top cabinet above the microwave.
The microwave must be attached to a minimum of one 2”x 4” wall stud.
To find the location of the studs, one of the following methods may be
used:
A. Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the nails in the
stud.
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a
solid sound. This will indicate stud location.
NOTE:
This microwave oven is
intended for installation over a
countertop. Do not install this
microwave oven above any heat
source such as a range or
cooktop.
