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.

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

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.
