2 WALL CONSTRUCTION
This Microwave Oven/Hood should be mounted against and supported by a flat vertical wall. The walt must be flat for proper
installation. If the walt is not flat, use spacers to fill in the gaps. Walt construction should be a minimum of 2" x 4" wood studding and
3/8" or more thick dry walt or plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces must be capable of supporting weight of 110 pounds--the oven
and contents--AND the weight of all items which would normally be stored in the top cabinet above the unit.
The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2" x 4" walt stud.
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 located by probing the walt 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.
