DRILL THE HOLES IN THE WALL AND UPPER CABINET.
1. Find the points on the wall template labeled "D", "E", "F", and "G". Drill a 3/16" diameter hole at any points that
are over a wall stud. Drill a 3/4" diameter hole at any points over drywall.
2. Locate the wall stud closest to the center of the areas marked "H" and "I" on the wall template. Drill 3/16" holes
into the wall stud in each of the areas. If a wall stud is not located within these areas, drill 3/4" diameter holes
nearest to the center of the areas as possible.
If there is not a wall stud within the areas marked "H" and "I" and not behind points marked "D", "E", "F" and
"G", DO NOT install microwave oven. (Consult building inspector.)
3. Drill a 3/8" hole at points "J", "K" and "N" on the upper cabinet template.
NOTE: If the bottom of the upper cabinet is recessed 3/4" or more, you may use 2"x2" filler blocks (not
included) to provide additional support for the bolts. See Figure 20.
• Mark the center of each filler block and drill a 3/8" diameter hole at the marks.
• Align filler blocks over the two openings in the top of the microwave oven cabinet and attach to
cabinet with masking tape. See Figere 21.
4. Cut or drill a "2" diameter hole at the area marked "M", "Power-supply-cord-hole" on the upper cabinet
template. If the upper cabinet is metal, you will need to cover the edge of the hole with the power-supply-cord
bushing (supplied) to prevent damage to the cord from the rough metal edge.
YOU MUST COVER THE EDGE OF THE
POWER-SUPPLY-CORD-HOLE IN A METAL
CABINET WITH THE POWER-SUPPLY-CORD
BUSHING. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE CORD AND
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
5. Cut out the venting areas (with the saber saw):
• Roof-Vented - cut out the shaded area marked "L"
on the upper cabinet template.
• Wall-Vented - cut out the shaded area marked "O"
on the wall template.
• Room-Vented - go to STEP 5, INSTALLING THE
MOUNTING PLATE, located on the next page.
6. Complete whichever venting system you have
chosen. Use caulking compound to seal the exterior
wall or roof opening around the wall cap or roof cap.
STEP 4: PREPARE THE WALL AND
UPPER CABINET FOR INSTALLATION
- 13 -
BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DRILLING HOLES INTO THE WALL.
Electrical wires could be concealed behind the wall covering
and if the drill hits them you could get an electric shock.
