STEP 4: PREPARE THE WALL AND
UPPER CABINET FOR INSTALLATION
DRILL THE HOLES IN THE WALL AND UPPER CABINET.
WARNING
BE VERY CAREFUL
WHEN DRILLING
HOLES INTO THE WALL.
Electrical
wires could
be concealed
behind
the wall covering
and if the drill hits them you could get an electric
shock.
1. Find the points on the walt template labeled "D", "E", "F", and "G". 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. Locate the walt stud closest to the center of the areas marked "H" and 'T' on the wall template. Drill 3/16"
holes into the walt stud in each of the areas. If a walt stud is not located within these areas, drill 3/4"
diameter holes nearest to the center of the areas as possible.
If there is not a wall stud within the areas marked "H" and 'T' and not behind points
marked "D",
"E", "F" and "G", DO NOT install
microwave
oven. (Consult
building
inspector.)
3. 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 wilt need 2"x2" filler blocks (not
included) to provide additional support for the bolts. See Figure 24.
• Mark the center of each filler block and drill a 3/8" diameter hole at the marks.
• 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.
4. 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.
WARNING
YOU MUST COVER THE EDGE OF
THE POWER-SUPPLY-CORD-HOLE
IN
A METAL CABINET
WITH THE
POWER-SUPPLY-CORD
BUSHING.
FAILURE
TO DO SO COULD
RESULT
IN DAMAGE
TO THE CORE AND
ELECTRIC
SHOCK.
5. Cut out the venting areas (with the saber saw):
• Roof-Vented-cut
out the shaded area marked "L" on the
upper cabinet template.
• Walt-Vented-cut
out the shaded area marked "O" on the
wall template. Go to STEP 5 on the next page.
6. 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.
