INSTALLATION

Find and mark one or two points where the 

studs are on the wall. (Studs are normally 16 

inches apart.) Then measure and mark the 

stud locations. If you cannot find any wall 

studs, consult a local building contractor.

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of 

the 30

 wide opening.

NOTE

• Be sure the minimum width is 30 inches.

Center the rear wall template 

b

 in the space 

by lining up the plumb line on the wall with 

the centerline on the template. Then securely 

tape or tack the rear wall template in place. 

Make sure the minimum width is 30 inches 

and that the top of the rear wall template is 

located a minimum of 30 inches above the 

cooking surface.

Measure the bottom of the upper cabinet 

frame. Trim edges A, B, and C on the upper 

cabinet template 

a

 so that the template will 

fit on the bottom of the upper cabinet. If the 

upper cabinet has a recessed frame, trim the 

template so it fits inside the recessed area. If 

needed, the template can be trimmed inside 

the printed trim lines, as long as you are able 

to align the centerline correctly. Align the 

centerline of the upper cabinet template with 

the centerline of the rear wall template, then 

securely tape or tack the upper cabinet 

template in place.

WARNING

• To avoid risk of personal injury, electric shock or 

death:
- Note where electrical outlets and electrical 

wires are before you drill into the wall.
- Locate and disconnect power to any electrical 

circuits that could be affected by installing this 

oven.

• To avoid risk of personal injury, electric shock or 

death, cover the edge of the power supply cord 

hole with the power supply cord bushing.

Drill Holes in Wall and Cabinet

Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill 

a 3/16" hole for lag screws. If there is no stud, 

drill a 3/4" hole for toggle bolts. Make sure to 

use at least 1 lag screw in a stud, and 2 toggle 

screws in the drywall or the plaster.

Drill a 3/8” hole at points J and K on the upper 

cabinet template.

If the bottom of the upper cabinet is recessed 

3/4" or more, you will need 2"x 2" filler blocks 

b

 (not included) to provide additional support 

for the bolts.

a

 Cabinet front

c

 Cabinet bottom shelf

Mark the center of each filler block and drill a 

3/8” diameter hole at the marks.

Align filler blocks 

b

 over the two openings in 

the top of the microwave oven cabinet and 

attach to the cabinet with masking tape.

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
