For this type of installation with front overhang only,
align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not
touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.
16-1/2”
Draw a horizontal line on the back wall, an equal
distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth
of the front overhang.
Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with no back or
side frame, install the mounting plate down the same distance
as the front overhang depth. This will keep the microwave
level.
