Install the Microwave Oven

IMPORTANT:

The control side of the microwave oven is the

heavy side. Handle the microwave oven gently.

1.

Place a washer on each 1/4-20 x 3" (7.6 cm) flat-head bolt

and place inside upper cabinet near the 3/8" (1.0 cm) holes.

2.

Make sure the microwave oven door is closed and taped

shut.

3.

Using 2 or more people, lift microwave oven and hang it on

support tabs at the bottom of mounting plate.

NOTE:

To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not grip or

use the door or door handle while the microwave oven is being

handled.

4.

With front of microwave oven still tilted, thread power supply

cord through the power supply cord hole in the bottom of the

upper cabinet.

5.

Rotate microwave oven up toward upper cabinet.

NOTE:

If venting through the wall, make sure the damper

assembly fits easily into the vent in the wall cutout.

6.

Push microwave oven against mounting plate and hold in

place.

NOTE:

If microwave oven does not need to be adjusted, skip

steps 7 through 9.

7.

If adjustment is required, rotate microwave oven downward.

Using 2 or more people, lift microwave oven off of mounting

plate and set aside on a covered surface.

8.

Loosen mounting plate screws. Adjust mounting plate and

re-tighten screws.

9.

Repeat steps 3 through 6.

10.

With the microwave oven centered, and with at least one

person holding it in place, insert bolts through upper cabinet

into microwave oven. Tighten bolts until there is no gap

between upper cabinet and microwave oven.

NOTES:

Some upper cabinets may require bolts longer or shorter

than 3" (7.6 cm). Longer or shorter bolts are available at

most hardware stores.

Overtightening bolts may warp the top of the microwave

oven. To avoid warping, wood filler blocks (installer to

provide) may be added. The blocks must be the same

thickness as the space between the upper cabinet bottom

and the microwave oven.

NOTE:

Avoid damage to the mounting nut, screw the bolts into

the mounting nut holes around 5/8"-13/16" (1.5-2.0 cm) by hand

first, make sure the bolts thread in properly. Then tighten with

tools.

11.

Connect vent to damper assembly.
