Install Appliance
Removing the mounting plate
Note:  To avoid possible damage to the work surface or 
to the bottom of the appliance, cover the work surface.
1.
Remove any remaining contents from the microwave 
oven cavity.
2.
Remove the screws from the mounting plate.
The mounting plate will be used as the rear wall 
template and for mounting.
3.
Reinstall the screws into the holes where they were 
removed.
Note:  To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not 
grip or use the door or door handle while the microwave 
oven is being handled.
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.
