The microwave oven must be installed on a minimum of 1 wall
stud, preferably 2, using a minimum of 1 lag screw, preferably 2.
1. Using measuring tape, nd and clearly mark the vertical
centerline of the opening.
2. Align the center markers on the cardboard template (carton
top cap) or Wall template, to the centerline on the wall,
making sure it is level, and that the top of the cardboard
template or wall template is butted up against the bottom
edge of the upper cabinet.
NOTES:
■ If the front edge of the upper cabinet is lower than the back
edge, lower the cardboard template or wall template so that
its top is level with the front edge of the cabinet.
