NOTE

• Vent grille appearance varies by model.

Make sure you have enough space and support.

is supported by the wall. The wall should be 

constructed of minimum 2" x 4" wood studding 

and 3/8" thick drywall or plaster/lath.

• Attach the two lag screws supporting the oven to 

a vertical, 2" x 4" wall stud.

• Do not mount the microwave oven to an island 

or peninsula cabinet.

• Be sure the upper cabinet and rear wall 

structures can support 150 lbs., plus the weight 

of any items you place inside the oven or upper 

cabinet.

• Locate the oven away from areas with strong 

drafts, such as windows, doors, and strong 

heating vents.

• Be sure you have enough space (minimum 

vertical and horizontal clearance).

a

Maximum 13": cabinet depth

WARNING

• If you do not mount the oven as instructed, you 

risk personal injury and/or property damage.

• If your range has cooktop controls in the front, 

unplug the range before covering the cooktop to 

prevent risk of fire and damage if the knobs are 

accidentally activated while installing the OTR.

• The product is heavy. Use at least 2 people when 

lifting or installing the appliance to avoid injury 

or product damage.

CAUTION

• Before you begin installing the oven, place a 

piece of the carton or other heavy material (a 

blanket) over the countertop or cooktop to 

protect it. Do not use a plastic cover. Failure to 

protect these surfaces could result in property 

damage.
