Attach Mounting Plate to Wall
1. Position mounting plate on the wall.
NOTE: It may be necessary to use a number of the spacers,
between the mounting plate and the wall, to achieve a more
‘Flush’ appearance. Stick spacers before position mounting
plate on the wall.
Measure from the back wall to where the front bottom surface
of the microwave oven needs to be to determine the number
of spacers needed.
