Wall Construction

This Convection Microwave Hood should be mounted
against and supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall
must be flat for proper installation. If the wall is not flat,
use spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall construction should
be a minimum of 2" x 4" wood studding and 3/8" or more
thick dry wall or plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces must
be capable of supporting a weight of 110 pounds—the
oven and contents—AND the weight of all items which
would normally be stored in the top cabinet above the
unit.
The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2" x
4" wall stud or two 2" x 3" wall studs.
36" or more
To find the location of the studs, one of the following
from cooking
surface
methods may be used:
• Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the
nails in the stud.
• Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting
72" or more
surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate stud
from floor
location.
The center of the stud can be located by probing the
wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud and
then placing a mark halfway between the edges. The
center of any adjacent studs will normally be 16" or 24"
to either side of this mark.
