2 WALL CONSTRUCTION
This Microwave Oven/Hood should be mounted against and
supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall must be flat for prop-
er 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 piaster/lath. The
mounting surfaces must be capable of supporting a weight of
110 poundslthe oven and contents--AND the weight of all
items which would normally be stored in the top cabinet above
the unit.
The unit shoumd be attached to a minimum of one 2" x 4"
wall stud or two 2" x 3"' wall studs.
To find the location of the studs, one of the following methods
may be used:
A.Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the nails
in the stud.
B.Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to
find a solid sound. This will indicate stud location.
The center of the stud can be !ocated 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.
