C5. MOUNT THE MICROWAVE OVEN
FOR EASIER INSTALLATION AND PERSONAL
SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND THAT TWO PEOPLE
INSTALL THIS MICROWAVE OVEN.
IMPORTANT: Do not grip or use the handle
during installation.
NOTE: If your cabinet is metal, use the nylon
grommet around the power cord hole to prevent
cutting of the cord.
NOTE: We recommend using filler blocks if the
cabinet front hangs below the cabinet bottom shelf.
IMPORTANT: If filler blocks are not used, case
damage may occur from over tightening screws.
NOTE: When mounting the microwave oven, thread
power cord through hole in bottom of top cabinet.
Keep it tight throughout Steps 1-3. Do not pinch cord
or lift oven by pulling cord.
1. Lift microwave, tilt it
forward, and hook slots
at back bottom edge
onto four lower tabs of
mounting plate.
2. Rotate front of oven
up against cabinet
bottom.
3. Insert a self-aligning screw through the top center
cabinet hole. Temporarily secure the oven by
turning the screw at least two full turns after
the threads have engaged. (It will be completely
tightened later.) Be sure to keep power cord
tight. Be careful not to pinch the cord,
especially when mounting flush to bottom of
cabinet.
