Prepare Upper Cabinet
1. Disconnect power to outlet.
2. Remove all contents from upper cabinet.
3. Place cardboard template against the bottom of the upper
cabinet, 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 wall behind the microwave oven (as installed) has a
partial wall covering (for example, tile backsplash), be sure
the “Rear Wall” arrows align to the thickest part of the rear
wall (for example, the thickness of the tiles rather than the
drywall).
4. Make sure the 10" (25.4 cm) dimension from the rear wall to
points “D” and “E” on the template is maintained.
5. Cut the 1
1
⁄
2
" (3.8 cm) diameter hole at the circular shaded
area “G” on the template. This hole is for the power supply
cord.
NOTE: If upper cabinet is metal, the supply cord bushing needs
to be installed around the supply cord hole as shown.
6. Drill 3/8" (10 mm) holes at points “D” and “E” on the
template. These are for two 1/4-20 x 3" bolts and washers
used to secure the microwave oven to the upper cabinet.
For Roof Venting Installation Only:
7. Cut 3/4" (1.9 cm) hole at one corner of the shaded
rectangular area “F” on Cardboard Template.
