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.
