STEP 4: PREPARE THE
CABINET
WALL & UPPER
AWARNINGA
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 measuring tape, find and mark the
vertical center line on the back wall, as in Figure 24.
2. Find and mark one or two points where the studs are on the
wall. Then measure and mark the stud locations. If you cannot
find any wall stud, consult a local building contractor.
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 24.
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 25.
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 25.
