STEP 4: Prepare The Wall & Upper Cabinet
To avoid personal injury or property damage, do not attempt to install this microwave
oven if you cannot find a wall stud. Consult a carpenter or contractor.
Measure And Track/Tape Up The Templates
1. Using a plumb line and (metal) measuring tape, find and
mark the vertical center line on the back wall, as in
Figure 26.
2. Find and mark one or two points where the studs are on
the wall. (Studs are normally 16 inches apart). Then
measure and mark the stud locations. If you cannot find
any wall stud, consult a local building contractor.
CAUTION
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE MICRO-
WAVE OVEN IF YOU CANNOT FIND A WALL
STUD.
3. Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of th 30"
wide space.
NOTE: Be sure the minimum width is 30 inches.
4. Center the rear wall template in the space by lining up the
plumb line on wall with centerline on template.Then securely
tape or tack the rear wall template in place.Make sure the
minimum width is 30 inches and that the top of the rear
wall template is located a minimum of 30 inches above
the cooking surface. See Figure 26.
NOTE: If the cabinets are not plumb, adjust the rear wall
template to the cabinets. If the front edge of the
cabinet is lower than the back edge, adjust the
template to be level with the cabinet front.
5. Measure the bottom of the upper cabinet frame. Trim
edges A, B, and C on the upper cabinet template
so that the template will fit on the bottom of the upper
cabinet. If upper cabinet has a recessed frame, trim the
template so it fits inside the recessed area. Align the
centerline of the upper cabinet template with the
centerline of the rear wall template, then securely tape or
tack the upper cabinet template in place. See Figure 27.
