SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND THAT TWO PEOPLE
INSTALL THIS MICROWAVE OVEN. 

NOTE: 

If your cabinet is metal, use the nylon

grommet around the power cord hole to prevent

cutting of the cord.

NOTE:

We recommend using filler blocks if the 

cabinet front hangs below the cabinet bottom shelf.

IMPORTANT: If filler blocks are not used,

case damage may occur from overtightening

screws.

Insert a self-aligning screw through top center 
cabinet hole. Temporarily secure the oven by 
turning the screw at least two full turns after the
threads have engaged(It will be completely
tightened later.) Be sure to keep power cord
tight. Be careful not to pinch the cord, especially
when mounting flush to bottom of cabinet.
