Step 5: Option A - Preparing the top cabinet

You need to drill holes for the top support screws, a hole large enough for the power cord to fit through, and a cutout large
enough for the exhaust adapter.
1 Turn off the power to the outlet in the cabinet.
2 Remove everything from the cabinet.
3 Trim the Top Cabinet Template along the dotted line.
4 If the bottom of your cabinet is recessed and the template is too large, trim the edges to fit. Your template should fit
snugly inside the space with no overhang.
Notes:
• Make sure that you keep the left and right sides even. For example, if you need to trim the sides by 1" (2.5 cm), cut 1/2" (1.25 cm) from the
left side and 1/2" (1.25 cm) from the right side.
• Some cabinets have a small bracket or glue block between the overhang and the underside of the cabinet bottom. Cut the template to
fit around these so it lies flat on the bottom of the cabinet.
5 To position the Top Cabinet Template:
• Align the center line on the template with the center line that you drew on the wall.
• Align the back edge of the template to the rear wall (smooth or flat bottom cabinets) or to the back of the recess
(recessed cabinets) to make sure that the holes cut into the upper cabinet align with the holes in the top of the
microwave.
6 Tape the template to the bottom of the cabinet.
7 Drill 3/8" holes through the template at points A, B, and C.
Caution: Wear safety goggles when drilling holes in the cabinet bottom.
8 Cut a 2" (5 cm) diameter hole at point D for the power cord.
9 Cut out the shaded area E through the cabinet bottom.
