inside upper cabinet near the 3/8" (10 mm) holes.

2. Make sure the microwave oven door is closed and taped shut.

3. Using 2 or more people, lift microwave oven and hang it on 

support tabs at the bottom of mounting plate.

NOTE: To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not grip or 
use the door or door handle while the microwave oven is being 
handled.

4. With front of microwave oven still tilted, thread power supply 

cord through the power supply cord hole in the bottom of the 
upper cabinet.

5. Rotate microwave oven up toward upper cabinet.
NOTE: If venting through the wall, make sure the damper 
assembly fits easily into the vent in the wall cutout.
6. Push microwave oven against mounting plate and hold in 

place.

NOTE: If microwave oven does not need to be adjusted, skip 
steps 7-9.
7. If adjustment is required, rotate microwave oven downward. 

Using 2 or more people, lift microwave oven off of mounting 
plate, and set aside on a covered surface.

retighten screws.

9. Repeat steps 3-6.
10. With the microwave oven centered, and with at least one 

person holding it in place, insert bolts through upper cabinet 
into microwave oven. Tighten bolts until there is no gap 
between upper cabinet and microwave oven.

NOTES:

Some upper cabinets may require bolts longer or shorter than 
3" (7.6 cm). Longer or shorter bolts are available at most 
hardware stores.

Overtightening bolts may warp the top of the microwave oven. 
To avoid warping, wood filler blocks may be added. The 
blocks must be the same thickness as the space between the 
upper cabinet bottom and the microwave oven.
