. Find the studs using one of the following
methods:
A.
With a stud finder – a magnetic device which
locates nails.
OR
B.
Use a hammer to tap lightly across the
mounting surface until you hear a solid
sound. This will indicate a stud location.

. After locating the stud(s), locate the stud’s
center by probing the wall with a small nail to
find the edges of the stud. Then, place a mark
halfway between the edges. The center of any
adjacent studs should be 16˝ or 24˝ from this
mark.

. Draw a line down the center of the studs.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO
AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.
