Find the studs, using one of the following

methods:
A.

Stud finder – a magnetic device which

locates nails.

OR

B.

Use a hammer to tap lightly across the

mounting surface to find a solid sound.

This will indicate a stud location.

After locating the stud(s), find the center by

probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges

of the stud. Then place a mark halfway between

the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should

be 16

or 24

from this mark.

Draw a line down the center of the studs.

THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO
AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.
