[. . . ] Make sure damper plate tabs are inserted into the slots in the top of the microwave oven. Roof Venting Installation Only 1. Repeat Step 1 from “Wall Venting Installation Only. ” Repeat Step 2 from “Wall Venting Installation Only. ” Repeat Step 3 from “Wall Venting Installation Only. ” Repeat Step 4 from “Wall Venting Installation Only. ” Rotate blower motor so that exhaust ports face the top of microwave oven, and flat sides of blower motor face back of microwave oven. Lower blower motor back into microwave oven. A B C A D A. Secure damper plate with 2 screws removed in Step 1 of “Wall Venting Installation Only. ” A. Exhaust port IMPORTANT: If blower motor is not positioned with flat sides facing the back of the microwave oven (as shown), performance will be poor. 5 Locate Wall Stud(s) NOTE: If no wall studs exist within the cabinet opening, do not install the microwave oven. See illustrations in “Possible Wall Stud Configurations. ” 1. Using a stud finder, locate the edges of the wall stud(s) within the opening. Mark the center of each stud, and draw a plumb line down each stud center. See illustrations in “Possible Wall Stud Configurations. ” Possible Wall Stud Configurations These depictions show examples of preferred installation configurations with the mounting plate. No Wall Studs at End Holes Figure 1 No Wall Studs at End Holes Figure 2 B C C D A E B A E F C D A E A E F NOTE: If wall stud is within 6" (15. 2 cm) of the vertical centerline (see “Mark Rear Wall” section), only recirculation or roof venting installation can be done. Wall Stud at One End Hole Figure 3 Wall Studs at Both End Holes Figure 4 B A E C F D A, D E C B A, D E C F A, D E C A. Mounting plate center markers 6 Mark Rear Wall The microwave oven must be installed on a minimum of 1 wall stud, preferably 2, using a minimum of 1 lag screw, preferably 2. Using measuring tape, find and clearly mark the vertical centerline of the opening. A 5. Drill 3/16" (5 mm) holes into the studs at the end holes marked in Step 3 of “Mark Rear Wall. ” Attach Mounting Plate to Wall NOTE: Secure the mounting plate to the wall at both end holes drilled into the wall studs and/or drywall using either 1/4-20 x 3" round-head bolts and toggle nuts or 1/4 x 2" lag screws. Refer to illustrations in “Possible Wall Stud Configurations” in “Locate Wall Stud(s)” section. No Wall Studs at End Holes (Figures 1 and 2) NOTE: The mounting plate must be secured to the wall on at least 1 wall stud as well as at both ends. With the support tabs of the mounting plate facing forward, insert 1/4-20 x 3" round-head bolts through both end holes of mounting plate. Start toggle nuts on bolts from the back of the mounting plate. Leave enough space for the toggle nuts to go through the wall and to open. Wall Studs at Both End Holes (Figure 4) 1. Check alignment of mounting plate, making sure it is level. Securely tighten the lag screws. Prepare Upper Cabinet 1. Place Upper Cabinet Template against the bottom of the upper cabinet, and attach with tape or thumbtacks. Make sure the template centerline aligns with the vertical centerline on the rear wall. The “rear wall” arrows must be against the rear wall so that the holes cut into the upper cabinet align with the holes in the top of the microwave oven. NOTES: ■ If the upper cabinet has a frame around it, trim the template edges so that it fits inside the frame, against the upper cabinet bottom.
