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.

8.

Loosen mounting plate screws. Adjust mounting plate and 
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 (installer to provide) 
may be added. The blocks must be the same thickness as 
the space between the upper cabinet bottom and the 
microwave oven.

 The screw cannot be installed if the damper assembly is 

not positioned as shown.
