Finding the wall studs

Note: The microwave must be connected to at least one

wall stud. If no wall studs exist within the cabinet

opening, do not install the microwave oven.

1.

Locate the edges of the wall studs within the cabinet

opening by using:
- a stud finder or
- a hammer (tapping lightly across the mounting

surface to find a solid sound).

2.

Place a mark halfway between the edges and draw a

line down the center of the studs (See possible wall

studs configuration).

Possible wall stud configurations

These depictions show examples of preferred installation

configurations with the mounting plate.
Note: Care must be taken when drilling holes. Electrical

wires may be concealed behind the wall covering and

contact with them could result in electrical shock.

No wall studs at corner holes

If wall stud is within 6¼" (159 mm) of the vertical

centerline, only Room Venting (recirculation) or Roof

Venting installations can be done.
