THE MICROWAVE MUST BE LEVEL.
Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
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.
On cabinets with a front overhang, draw a line on the
back wall at the same depth as the overhang. Align the
template to match overhang depth. This will keep the
microwave level.
