Mounting Space
This Convection Microwave Hood requires a mounting
space on a wall as shown in figure
1
. It is designed to
be used with standard 12-inch wall cabinets.
For proper installation and servicing, a 2-inch space is
necessary between the top of the range backguard and
the bottom of the Convection Microwave Hood.
Wall Construction
This Convection Microwave Hood should be mounted
against and supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall
must be flat for proper installation. If the wall is not flat,
use spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall construction should
be a minimum of 2" x 4" wood studding and 3/8" or more
thick dry wall or plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces must
be capable of supporting a weight of 110 pounds—the
oven and contents—AND the weight of all items which
would normally be stored in the top cabinet above the
unit.
The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2" x
4" wall stud or two 2" x 3" wall studs.
To find the location of the studs, one of the following
methods may be used:
•
Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the
nails in the stud.
•
Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting
surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate stud
location.
The center of the stud can be located by probing the
wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud and
then placing a mark halfway between the edges. The
center of any adjacent studs will normally be 16" or 24"
to either side of this mark.
