OVER THE RANGE MICROWAVE OVEN

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Over the Range Microwave Oven/Hood System. Two

people are recommended to install this product.

If a new electrical outlet is required, its installation should be completed by a qualiﬁed electrician before the

Microwave Oven/Hood is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 2.

1 MOUNTING SPACE

This Microwave Oven/Hood requires a mounting space on a wall

as shown in Figure 1.

For proper installation and servicing, a 2-inch space is necessary

between the top of the range backsplash and the bottom of the

Microwave Oven/Hood system.

2 WALL CONSTRUCTION

This Microwave Oven/Hood should be mounted against and support-

ed by a at vertical wall. The wall must be at for proper installation.

If the wall is not at, use spacers to ll 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 nd the location of the studs, one of the following methods may

be used:

A. Use a stud nder, a magnetic device which locates the nails in

the stud.

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

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 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.

NOTE:

In the event that the unit will be unable to be supported by any

stud, it will be necessary to use special care in the placement of the

toggle bolts and top cabinet screws. See Wall Template for details.

The top cabinet should be tested to ensure it is securely attached to

the wall. Place extra weight up to 110 pounds inside the top cabinet

to test the support.
