2 WALL 

CONSTRUCTION

This  Over  the  Range  Microwave  Oven  should  be  mounted 
against and supported by a fl at vertical wall. The wall must 
be fl at for proper installation. If the wall is not fl at, use spacers 
to fi ll in the gaps. Wall construction should be a minimum of 
2" x 4" wood studding and

" or more thick dry wall or plaster/lath. 

The mounting surfaces must be capable of supporting weight 
of 110 pounds—the oven and contents—AND the weight of 
all items which would normally be stored in the top cabinet 
above the unit.

The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2" x 4" 
wall stud.

To fi nd the location of the studs, one of the following methods 
may be used:

A.  Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the 

nails in the stud.

B.  Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface 

to find a solid sound. This will indicate stud location.  

The center of the stud can be located by probing the wall with 
a small nail to fi nd the edges of the stud and then placing a 
mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent 
studs will normally be 16" or 24" to either side of this mark.
