WARNING
Installation steps
1.
Remove contents from the bottom
shelf of your cabinet.
2.
Location of template: Select the
easiest position to work from, either on
the inside bottom of the cabinet or the
underside of the cabinet to locate the
template.
When putting the template in place, make
sure the front of the cabinet is directly
above the front of the microwave oven
cabinet, not the microwave oven door.
Go to “Template instructions” on next
page.
3.
Once the template is in place and
taped down, use a center punch, or a nail,
to mark the position of the 4 holes, as
shown on the template. Remove the
template.
4.
Drill 4 holes through the cabinet
at the marked locations, using a 1/2"
(12.7 mm) drill bit.
5.
Remove the four plugs from top of
microwave oven cabinet. Be sure to save
these plugs. If the microwave oven is
used later as a countertop model, these
plugs will need to be replaced.
6.
If the cabinet has a front frame
extending below cabinet bottom go to
Step 6a.
If the cabinet does not have a front frame
extending below the cabinet bottom go to
Step 6b.
6a.
If the cabinet has a front frame
extending below cabinet:
Measure the distance from the bottom of
the cabinet to the bottom of the front
frame, to determine which of the
mounting screws provided, (short or
long) and how many of the spacers
provided, will need to be used to install
the oven properly.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and
install microwave oven.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.

Slide the correct number of spacers on
the back mounting screws only.
Insert each screw into a threaded hole in
the top of the oven. Turn each screw three
or four times to start the screw into the
threaded hole
6b.
If the cabinet does not have a
front frame extending below the cabinet
bottom:
Slide one spacer
over each of the
four mounting
screws or, for a
smaller gap, use
1/4” I.D. flat
washers available
from hardware
store.
Insert each screw into a threaded hole in
the top of the oven. Turn each screw three
or four times to start the screw into the
threaded hole.
7.
Lift the
microwave oven
so the mounting
screws enter
into the four
holes in the
bottom of the
cabinet. Slide
the mounting
holders onto the
necks of the mounting screws.
8.
Slowly tighten the four screws
evenly until the oven is completely secure
and level.
9.
Plug power supply cord into a
grounded 3 prong outlet.

your under-the-cabinet microwave
oven, read your Use and Care
