Note where electrical outlets and electrical wires are before you drill into the wall.

Locate and disconnect power to any electrical circuits that could be affected by installing this oven.

wWARNING

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.

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.

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.

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):

Roof-Vented: cut out the shaded area marked "L" on the upper cabinet template.

Wall-Vented: go to STEP 5, INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE, located on page 19.

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.
