STEP 4: PREPARE THE WALL AND
UPPER CABINET FOR INSTALLATION
DRILL THE HOLES IN THE WALL AND UPPER CABINET.
WARNING
BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DRILLING HOLES INTO THE WALL.
Electrical wires could be concealed behind the wall covering and if the drill hits them you
could get an electric shock.
1. Find the points on the mounting plate labeled "A", "B", "C" and "D". Drill a 3/16" diameter hole at any of
these points that are in front of a wall stud. Drill a 3/4" diameter hole at any of these points that are over
drywall.
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" or more, you will need 2"x2" filler blocks (not
included) to provide additional support for the bolts. See Figure 24.
• Mark the center of each filler block and drill a 3/8" diameter hole at the mark.
• Align filler blocks over the two openings in the top of the microwave oven cabinet and attach to cabinet with
masking tape. See Figure 25.
3. Cut or drill a 2" diameter hole at the area marked "M", "power supply cord hole" on the upper cabinet template.
If the upper cabinet is metal, you will need to cover the edge of the hole with the power supply cord bushing
(supplied) to prevent damage to the cord from the rough metal edge.
WARNING
YOU MUST COVER THE EDGE OF
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD HOLE
IN A METAL CABINET WITH THE
POWER SUPPLY CORD BUSHING.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE CORD
AND ELECTRIC SHOCK.
