STEP 4: PREPARE THE WALL AND UPPER CABINET FOR INSTALLATION

MEASURE AND TACK / TAPE UP THE

TEMPLATE

1.Using a plumb line and (metal) measuring tape, find and mark the vertical center line (_ on the back wall, as in Figure 22.

2.Find and mark one or two points where the studs are on the wall (Studs are normally 16 inches apart.) and then measure and mark the stud locations. If you cannot find any wall stud, consult a local building contractor.

Zk CAUTION A,

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE

MICROWAVE OVEN IF YOU CANNOT FIND A

WALL STUD.

3.Line up the plumb line on the wall with the center line on the mounting plate.

NOTE: Be sure the minimum width is 30 inches and the distance from the top of the mounting plate to the range or counter top is at least 30 inches. See Figure 4 on page 4.

4.Center mounting plate in opening by lining up the plumb line on wall with centerline on mounting plate. Make sure the minimum width is 30 inches and that the top of the mounting plate is located a minimum of 30 inches above the cooking surface.

See Figure 23.

NOTE: If the front edge of the cabinet is lower than the back edge, adjust the mounting plate to be level with the cabinet front.

5.Measure the bottom of the upper cabinet frame. Trim the edges "A", "B" and "C" on the upper cabinet template so that the template will fit on the bottom of the upper cabinet. If upper cabinet has a recessed frame, trim template so that it fits inside the recessed area. Align the centerline of the upper cabinet template with the centerline of the mounting plate; then securely tape or tack the upper cabinet template in place. See Figure 23.
