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•
DRILL THE HOLES IN THE WALL AND UPPER CABINET•
1.Find the points on the wall 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 wall stud closest to the center of the areas marked H and I on the wall template. Drill 3/16" holes into the wall stud in each of the areas. If a wall 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 I, or behind points marked D, E, F, and G, DO NOT install microwave oven. (Consult building inspector.) There must be at least one stud in those areas.
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 will need 2"x2" filler blocks (not included)
to provide additional support for the bolts. See Figure 23.
•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 24.
