     insert the toggle wings into the holes in the wall to   
    mount the plate.

screw, make sure to coincide bottom line of the 

Mounting plate with Horizontal line of “Rear wall 

Template” and then the Mounting plate is properly 

centered under the cabinet.

CAUTION:

 Be careful to avoid pinching fingers 

between the back of the mounting plate and the wall.

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

 

NOTE: 

Filler blocks are required when mounting this 

unit under any cabinet with a recessed bottom or front 

power cord through hole in bottom of top cabinet.

from over tightening screws when filler blocks 

are not used is not covered under warranty.

or lift oven by pulling cord.
