W A R N I N G

To avoid personal injury or property damage, do not attempt to install this microwave
oven if you cannot find a wall stud.

Measure And Track/Tape Up The Templates

1. Using a plumb line and (metal) measuring tape, find and mark the
vertical center line on the back wall, as in Figure 23.

2. Find and mark one or two points where the studs are on the wall.
(Studs are normally 16 inches apart). Then measure and mark the
stud locations. If you cannot find any wall stud, consult a local
building contractor.

CAUTION

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE MICRO­WAVE OVEN IF YOU CANNOT FIND A WALL
STUD.

3. Line up the plumb line on the wall with the center line on the
mounting plate.

NOTE: Be sure the minimum width is 30 inches and the distance

from the top of the wall template to the range or counter top
is at least 30 inches. See Figure 23.

4. Center mounting plate in operating by lining up the plumb line on
wall with centerline on mounting plate. Make sure the minimum
width is 30 inches and that the top of the mounting plate is located
a minimum of 30 inches above the cooking surface. See Figure

24.

NOTE: If the cabinets are not plumb, adjust the mounting plate to the

cabinets. If the front edge of the cabinet is lower than the
back edge, adjust the mounting plate to be level with the
cabinet front.

5. Measure the bottom of the upper cabinet frame. Trim the edges A,
B and C on the upper cabinet template so that the template will fit
on the bottom of the upper cabinet. If upper cabinet has a
recessed frame, trim the template so it fits inside the recessed
area. Align the centerline of the upper cabinet template with the
centerline of the mounting plate, then securely tape or tack the
upper cabinet template in place. See Figure 24.

installing this oven.

W A R N I N G

To avoid risk of personal injury, electrical shock or death, cover the edge of the power
supply cord hole with the power supply cord bushing.

Drill The Holes In The Wall And Upper Cabinet.

1. Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3/16"hole for lag
"

screws. If there is no stud, drill a 3/4
Make sure to use at least 1 lag screw in a stud, and 4 toggle
screws in the drywall or the plaster.

2. Drill a 3/8” hole at points J and K on the upper cabinet

template.
NOTE: If the bottom of the upper cabinet is recessed 3/4

more, you will need 2

1. Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30 wide
space. Use the mounting plate as the template for the rear
wall. Place the mounting plate on the wall, making sure
that the tabs are against the bottom of the cabinet. Line up
the notch and center line on the mounting plate to the
center line on the wall.

2. While holding the mounting plate with one hand, draw
circles on the wall at holes A, B, C and D. Four holes must
be used for mounting. If the holes are not used, the
installation will not be secure. Installer must use these
holes for proper installation. Use toggle bolts through these
holes unless one of them lines up with a stud. Use a wood
screw for studs.

NOTE: Draw a fifth circle inside area E, through one of the

bottom holes to match the location of a stud. For wall­vented: The oven requires a rear wall cutout opening
for the rear wall duct and the exhaust adaptor must
be attached to the mounting plate. See the next page
on how to prepare the rear wall cutout opening and
the exhaust adaptor/mounting plate for wall-vented.

3. Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3/16 hole
for lag screws. If there is no stud, drill a 5/8 hole for toggle
bolts. Make sure to use at least 1 lag screw in a stud, and
4 toggle bolts in the drywall or the plaster.

4. Attach the plate to the wall. To use spring toggle head
bolts: Remove the toggle wings from the bolts. Insert the
bolts into the mounting plate and replace the spring toggle
head to 3/4 past the bolt ends. Insert the spring toggle
