STEP 4: Prepare The Wall & Upper Cabinet
To avoid risk of personal injury, electrical shock or death:
S S S S Note where electrical outlets and electrical wires are before you drill into the wall.
S S S S Locate and disconnect power to any electrical circuits that could be affected by
installing this oven.
To avoid risk of personal injury, electrical shock or death, cover the edge of the power
supply cord hole with the power supply cord bushing.
Drill The Holes In The Wall And Upper Cabinet.
1. Find the points on the mounting plate labeled A, B, C, and D.
Drill a 3/16" diameter hole at any points that are over a wall
stud. Drill a 3/4" diameter hole at any points over drywall.
2. Drill a 3/8" hole at points J, K, and N on the upper cabinet
template.
NOTE: If the bottom of the upper cabinet is recessed 3/4" or
more, you will need 2"x2" filler blocks (not included) to
provide additional support for the bolts. See Figure 24.
S Mark the center of each filler block and drill a 3/8"
diameter hole at the marks.
S Align filler blocks over the two openings in the top of
the microwave oven cabinet and attach to cabinet with
masking tape. See Figure 25.
3. Cut or drill a 2" diameter hole at the area marked M. Power
supply cord hole on the upper cabinet template. If the upper
cabinet is metal, you will need to cover the edge of the hole
with the power supply cord bushing (supplied) to prevent
damage to the cord from the rough metal edge.
4. Cut out the venting areas (with the saber saw):
S Roof-Vented: cut out the shaded area marked L on the
upper cabinet template.
S Room-Vented: go to STEP 5, INSTALL THE MOUNTING
PLATE, located on page 15.
5. Complete whichever venting system you have chosen. Use
caulking compound to seal the exterior wall or roof opening
around the wall cap or roof cap.
