LOCATE AND INSTALL THE REAR
HOLDDOWN SUPPORTS
Set Base Pan into the front cabinet microwave
oven cutout and center it right and left. Push
back until the front flange is against the cabinet
front wall. Using the V-notch in the Base Pan
front flange, mark the location of the V-notch
on the cabinet to use as a reference.
Slide the two Base Support Brackets from the
rear into the slots in the Base Pan. The tongues
of the Base Support Brackets should protrude
into the base, be centered in the slot, and be
into the slot as far as they will go. Mark and
drill four 3/32″ diameter holes. Mount the Base
Support Brackets using four Screws (D). Both
Base Support Bracket tongues should now be
centered in the slotted holes in the base and
be into the base as far as they can go.

the top of the oven, and aligning the two screw holes.
Drive two screws (A) through the Top Bracket, and
into the top of the oven.

❒
INSTALL THE BACK COVER
Use the tabs on the bottom of the Back Cover to place
the Back Cover on the Base Pan at the bottom of the
open slot (just below the bottom edge of the oven).
Lift the Back Cover up and into place against the back
surface of the oven, and align the screw holes. Drive
two screws (D) through the Back Cover and into the
back surface of the oven.
CAUTION — Start all screws before
tightening any one screw.

❒
INSTALL THE MICROWAVE OVEN
Plug the power
cord into the
wall receptacle.
Slide the
microwave
oven assembly
gently into the
cabinet, using
care not to pinch the power cord. Be sure to keep
the assembly centered as it slides back to where the
tongue of the Base Support Bracket goes through the
rear slots. The top edges of the Base Pan should now
be centered right to left in the opening. The Base Pan
and Top Bracket front flange should be tight against
the cabinet, and the V-notch should match up with
the mark (made in Step 1) on the cabinet.
6
❒
INSTALL THE SIDE BRACKET
Install by inserting the
tab of the Side Bracket
into the slot on the left
side of the Base Pan,
just below the bottom
edge of the oven. Lift
the Side Bracket up and
into place against the
side of the oven, and
align the screw hole in
the side bracket with the dimple in the oven. Carefully
drive one screw (B) through the Side Bracket into the side
of the oven, using a screwdriver or power drill. Be sure
the Side Bracket is tight against the side of the oven.
NOTE: Some ZEM200 models do not have a dimple for
installation of the Side Bracket. If your model does not have
a dimple, use the Side Bracket to first mark the correct
location. Make sure that the mark is centered between the
columns of vents. Then, using a screwdriver or power drill,
carefully drive the screw through the oven surface.
WARNING — If the Side Bracket is
removed from the oven for usage without the trim kit,
hazardous situations can be avoided by reinstalling
Screw B into the hole between the louvers on the side
of the oven.
WARNING
— Do not use a drill bit to
create the screw hole. This can damage the oven
cavity and create an unsafe oven.

❒
INSTALL THE BASE PAN

two top plug buttons from the top of the microwave
oven cabinet. Use a knife to pry up the plug buttons,
using care not to scratch the microwave oven. A clear
protective film has been applied to some microwave
ovens and trim kits. If applied, remove the film. Place
the microwave oven on the base pan.
Secure the base pan to the oven by inserting
2 screws (D).
