WALL
CONSTRUCTION
This
Microwave
Oven/Hood
should
be
mounted
against
and
supported
by
a
flat
vertical
wall.
The
wall
must
be
flat
for
proper
installation.
If
the
wail
is
not
flat,
use
spacers
to
fill
in
the
gaps.
Wall
construction
should
be
a
minimum
of
2”
x
4”
wood
studding
and
3/8”
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
find
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
find
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.
