Finding the wall studs
Note:  The microwave must be connected to at least one 
wall stud. If no wall studs exist within the cabinet 
opening, do not install the microwave oven.
1.
Locate the edges of the wall studs within the cabinet 
opening by using:
- a stud finder or
- a hammer (tapping lightly across the mounting 
surface to find a solid sound).
2.
Place a mark halfway between the edges and draw a 
line down the center of the studs (See possible wall 
studs configuration).
Possible wall stud configurations
These depictions show examples of preferred installation 
configurations with the mounting plate.
Note:  Care must be taken when drilling holes. Electrical 
wires may be concealed behind the wall covering and 
contact with them could result in electrical shock.
No wall studs at corner holes
If wall stud is within 6¼" (159 mm) of the vertical 
centerline, only Room Venting (recirculation) or Roof 
Venting installations can be done.
