H Using a plumb line and measuring tape, determine and clearly mark a vertical centerline on the wall in the area the microwave oven is to be installed. Find and mark the location of all wall stud(s) on the wall; then measure and mark their location on the wall template. If there are no wall studs in the area the microwave oven is to be installed, consult a local building inspector. Do Not attempt to install microwave oven if a wall stud cannot be found.

4 w Center wall template in opening by lining up the plumb line on wall with centerline on wall template. Make sure the minimum width is 30 inches and that the top of the wall template is located a minimum of 30 inches above the cooking surface. Securely tape or tack the wall template to the wall. l l

Note:

If cabinets are not plumb, adjust the wall template to the cabinets.

If front edge of cabinet is lower than back edge, adjust the wall template so that it is level with the cabinet front. wir2lips w/ c. Rotate blower unit end over end.

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 template so that 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.

7 w Locate the wall stud closest to the center of the areas marked ‘H” and “I” on the wall template. Drill 3/l 6” 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 areas marked ‘H” and “I” and not behind points marked ‘D”,‘E”, ” F” and ‘G”, DO NOT install microwave oven. (Consult building inspector.)

Electrical Shock Hazard

Take special care when drilling holes into the wall.

Electrical wires may be concealed behind the wall covering, and contact with them could result in electrical shock.

Find the points on the wall template diameter hole at the points that are over a wall stud and a 3/4” diameter hole at the points that are over drywall.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Install power supply cord bushing around hole drilled in metal cabinet.

Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.

8 w Cut out or drill a 2” diameter hole at the area marked ‘M”, “power supply cord hole” on the upper cabinet template. If upper cabinet is metal, install power supply cord bushing around the edge of hole to prevent damage to the cord from the rough metal edge.
