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, find and clearly mark the vertical
centerline of the opening.
2. Align the center markers on the mounting plate to the
centerline on the wall, making sure it is level, and that the top
of the mounting plate 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 mounting plate so that its top is
level with the front edge of the cabinet.
■ If the mounting template is damaged or unusable,
measure and mark the wall with the dimensions
described in
Step 4.
3. Holding the mounting template in place, mark both holes
in the lower corners and draw a horizontal line across the
bottom edge of the mounting template. These represent the
mounting plate’s end holes and bottom edge.
4. Remove the mounting template and check the markings:
■ The bottom edge line must be 10.47" (26.6 cm) from the
bottom of the upper cabinet and must be level.
■ The end holes must be 8.78" (22.3 cm) from the bottom edge
of the upper cabinet and must be on a level line with each
other. They must each be 14¹⁄
8
" (35.9 cm) from the centerline.
5. With the support tabs facing forward (see illustrations in
the “Locate Wall Stud(s)” section), align the mounting plate
center markers to the centerline on the wall, making sure its
bottom edge is aligned to the horizontal line drawn in Step 3
and that the end holes are properly marked. Make sure the
mounting plate is level.
6. Holding the mounting plate in place, find the wall stud
centerline(s) drawn in Step 2 of “Locate Wall Stud(s)” and
mark at least 1, preferably 2 hole(s) through the mounting
plate, closest to the wall stud centerline(s). See figures 1,
2, and/or 3 in “Possible Wall Stud Configurations” in the
“Locate Wall Stud(s)” section. The blackened holes in the
shaded areas are ideal hole locations.
7. Set the mounting plate aside.
