Installation Dimensions
NOTE: The grounded 3 prong outlet must be inside the upper
cabinet. See the “Electrical Requirements” section.
*24" (61 cm) is typical for 60" (152.4 cm) installation height.
Exact dimensions may vary depending on type of range/
cooktop below.
NOTE: To ensure good performance, do not obstruct top vent
airflow. If cabinets are deeper than 14" (35.6 cm) but no more
than 15" (38.1cm), use the bump out mounting kit replacing the
mounting plate from the wall. The bump out mounting kit (part #
W11185746) is not provided and can be sourced independently
from Whirlpool.

The microwave oven must be installed on a minimum of 1 wall
stud, preferably 2, using a minimum of 1 lag screw, preferably 2.
1. Using measuring tape, find and clearly mark the vertical
centerline of the opening.
2. Align the center markers on the mounting template to the
centerline on the wall, making sure it is level, and that the top
of the mounting template is butted up against the bottom
edge of the upper cabinet.
NOTES:
■ If the front edge of the upper cabinet is lower than the back
edge, lower the mounting template so that its top is level
with the front edge of the cabinet.
■ If the mounting template is damaged or unusable, measure
and mark the wall with the dimensions described in Step 4.
3. Holding the mounting template in place, mark both holes
in the lower corners and draw a horizontal line across the
bottom edge of the mounting template. These represent the
mounting plate’s end holes and bottom edge.
