MOUNT THE MICROWAVE
OVEN

FOR EASIER INSTALLATION AND PERSONAL
SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND THAT TWO PEOPLE
INSTALL THIS MICROWAVE OVEN. 

NOTE: 

If your cabinet is metal, use the nylon 

grommet around the power cord hole to prevent 
cutting of the cord.

NOTE:

We recommend using filler blocks if the 

cabinet front hangs below the cabinet bottom shelf.

IMPORTANT: If filler blocks are 
not used, case damage may occur from 
overtightening screws.

Insert a self-aligning screw through top center 
cabinet hole. Temporarily secure the oven by 
turning the screw at least two full turns after the
threads have engaged(It will be completely
tightened later.) Be sure to keep power cord
tight. Be careful not to pinch the cord, especially
when mounting flush to bottom of cabinet.

it tight throughout Steps

lift oven by pulling cord.

forward, and hook
