ALIGNING THE WALL PLATE
Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the
30
″
wide space.
Use the mounting plate
as the template
for the rear
wall. Place the mounting plate on the wall, making
sure that the tabs are
touching the bottom of the
cabinet or the level line drawn in Step C for cabinets
with front overhang. Line up the notch and centerline
on the bottom of the mounting plate to the centerline
on the wall.
While holding the mounting plate with one hand,
draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C and D
(see illustration above/actual plate marked with
arrows).
Four holes must be used for mounting.
NOTE:
Holes C and D are inside area E. If neither
C nor D is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E
and draw a fifth circle to line up with the stud. It is
important to use
at least one wood screw
mounted
firmly in a stud
to support the weight of the microwave.
Set the mounting plate aside.
Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a
3
⁄
16
″
hole for wood screws. For holes that don’t line up with
a stud, drill a
5
⁄
8
″
hole for toggle bolts.
NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS
TIME.
