Prepare Upper Cabinet

1.Disconnect power to outlet.

2.Remove all contents from upper cabinet.

3.Place Upper Cabinet Template against the bottom of the upper cabinet, and attach with tape or thumbtacks. Make sure the template centerline aligns with the vertical centerline on the rear wall.

The “rear wall” arrows must be against the rear wall so that the holes cut into the upper cabinet align with the holes in the top of the microwave oven.

NOTE: If the upper cabinet has a frame around it, trim the template edges so that it fits inside the frame, against the upper cabinet bottom. The template has trim lines to use as guides.

4.Make sure the 10" (25.4 cm) dimension from the rear wall to points “D” and “E” on the template is maintained.
