Step 8: Option B - Mount the microwave
CAUTION
• For easier installation and personal safety, we recommend that two people install
this microwave oven.
• Do not grip or use the handle during installation.
• To keep the power cord tight while mounting the microwave oven, thread the
power cord through the hole in the bottom of the top cabinet.
1 If your cabinet is meta
l, insert the nylon grommet into the power cord hole to prevent
cutting the cord.
2 Lift the microwave, tilt it forward, and hook the slots on the back bottom edge onto the four
lower tabs of the mounting plate. Rotate the front of the microwave up against the bottom of
the cabinet.
Note
• We recomend using filler blocks if the front of the cabinet hangs below the
cabinet’s bottom shelf.
• If filler blocks are not used, damage may occur from over-tightening the screws.
Thread the power cord through the cable
hole in the top cabinet. Keep it tight
throughout steps 1-2.
3 T
o temporarily hold the microwave in place, insert a self-aligning machine
screw through the top-center cabinet hole and rotate the screw at least
two full turns (it will be fully tightened later).
CAUTION
Be sure to keep the power cord tight. Do not pinch the cord, espe-
cially when mounting flush to the bottom of the cabinet.
