MEASURE AND TACK / 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 18.
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 within the
mounting plate area on the wall.
If you cannot find a wall stud, consult a local building
contractor.
CAUTION
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE MICROWAVE
OVEN IF YOU CANNOT FIND A WALL STUD.
NOTE: Be sure the minimum width is 22 inches and the
distance from the top of the microwave oven to
the cooking surface is at least 30 inches. See
Figure 4 on page 4.
3. Securely tape or tack the upper cabinet template to the
upper cabinet. See Figure 22.
NOTE: If the cabinets are not plumb, adjust the
mounting plate position to the cabinets.
Remember, the oven must hang level.
If the front edge of the cabinet is lower than the
back edge, adjust the mounting plate position to
be level with the cabinet front.
4. Using the mounting plate, mark the position for attaching
it on the wall with a pencil. If you want a wall vented
installation, mark the position for the ventillation hole
(10
3
/4X4) on the wall too. See Figure 19.
5. Measure the bottom of the upper cabinet frame. Trim the
template so that the template will fit on the bottom of the
upper cabinet. If the 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 wall template, then securely
tape or tack the upper cabinet template in place. See
Figure 19.
