Installation Instructions
Find the studs, using one of the following
methods:
A. Stud finder – a magnetic device which
locates nails.
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 16w (40.6 cm) or 24w (61 cm) from this mark.
Draw a line down the center of the studs.
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO
AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.
