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
"
hole for toggle screws.
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
"
or
more, you will need 2
"
x 2
"
filler blocks (not included) to
provide additional support for the bolts. See Figure 25.
Mark the center of each filler block and drill a 3/8”
diameter hole at the marks.
Align filler blocks over the two openings in the top of
the microwave oven cabinet and attach to cabinet with
masking tape. See Figure 26.
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.
4. Cut out the venting areas (with the saber saw):
Roof-Vented: cut out the shaded area marked L on the upper
cabinet template.
Wall-Vented: Tape the rear wall template to the rear wall,
lining up with the holes previously drilled for holes A and B in
the plate. Cut out the shaded area marked F on the REAR
WALL TEMPLATE.
Room-Vented: go to STEP 5, INSTALL THE MOUNTING
PLATE, located on page 15.
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.
