line on the wall. Rear wall arrows must be against rear wall.

  Note: For recessed cabinet bottom, trim the template 

edges so that it fits inside the recessed area. The template 

has trim lines to use as guides.

  Note: Wear safety goggles when drilling holes in the 

cabinet bottom.

supply cord.

  Note: If the cabinet is metal, use the nylon grommet 

around the opening to protect the cord.

the TOP CABINET TEMPLATE using a saber or keyhole saw.

7.  Remove templates from back wall and cabinet.

the microwave oven and attach with masking tape
