DRILL THE HOLES IN THE WALL AND UPPER CABINET.
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 points that
are over a wall stud. Drill a 3/4" diameter hole at any points over drywall.
2. Locate the wall stud closest to the center of hole on the mounting plate. Drill 3/16" holes into the wall stud
in each of the areas. If a wall stud is not located within these areas, drill 3/4" diameter holes nearest to the
center of the areas as possible.
If there is not a wall stud within the holed areas or behind points marked A, B, C, and D, DO NOT
install microwave oven. (Consult building inspector.) There must be at least one stud in those
areas.
3. Cut or drill a 2" diameter hole at the marked area, power supply cord hole (M) 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 (not included) to prevent damage to the cord from the rough metal edge.
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.
4. Cut out the venting areas (with the saber saw):
• ROOF-VENTED: cut out the shaded area marked E on
the upper cabinet template.
• WALL-VENTED: cut out the marked area on the wall.
See Figure 19.
• ROOM-VENTED: Need not make any rectangular hole
(for ventilation) on the upper cabinet and wall.
5. Complete whichever venting system you have chosen.
Use caulking compound to seal the exterior wall or roof
opening around the wall cap or roof cap.
