2 Wall constructIon

This Over the Range Microwave Oven should be mounted against
and supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall must be flat for proper
installation. If the wall is not flat, use spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall
construction should be a minimum of 2" x 4" wood studding and
3/8" or more thick dry wall 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" wall
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 wall 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.
