Plate Position – beneath framed
recessed cabinet bottom
Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the
30" space.
Tape the Rear Wall Template onto the wall
matching the centerline and touching the bottom
cabinet frame.
Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes
with the microwave installation. Remove the decorative
trim to install the microwave properly and to make it
level.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE LEVEL
Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with no
back or side frame, install the mounting plate down the
same distance as the front overhang depth. This will
keep the microwave level.

Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal
2
distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside
depth of the front overhang.
For this type of installation with front overhang only,

align the Rearwall Template with this horizontal
line, not touching the cabinet bottom as described
in Step D.
