Your cabinets may have decorative trim that 
interferes with the microwave installation. Remove 
the decorative trim to install the microwave properly 
and to make it level.

THE MICROWAVE MUST BE LEVEL.
Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with no 
back or side frame, install the mounting plate down 
the same distance as the front overhang depth. This 
will keep the microwave level.

Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.

Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal 
distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside 
depth of the front overhang.

For this type of installation with front overhang 
only, align the mounting tabs with this horizontal 
line, not touching the cabinet bottom as described 
in Step D.

Draw a vertical line on 

the wall at the center of 

the   4
