• 13" recommended upper cabinet
depth.
• The bottom edge of the cabinet
that will be above the microwave
oven is at least 30" from the
cooking surface.
• The bottom of the microwave oven
should be at least 2" above the
range backsplash for proper
installation and servicing.
• 30” width is required to mount the
microwave oven.
WALL CONSTRUCTION
This microwave oven should be mounted against and supported by a flat,
vertical wall.
• To find the location of the studs,
one of following methods may be
used:
1. Stud Finder--magnetic device
which locates nails in the stud.
2. Use a hammer to tap lightly
across the mounting surface to
find a solid sound.
• After locating the stud, the center
can be found by probing the wall
with a small nail to find the edges
of the stud and then placing a mark
halfway between the edges.
• Wall construction should be a
minimum of 2" x 4" wood studding
and
3 /

" or more thick drywall or
plaster/lath.
