Step 5: Option A - Preparing the top cabinet
Notes
If the top cabinet template is damaged or unusable, see “Top cabinet template
dimensions” on page 41 for dimensions.
You need to dr
ill holes for the top support screws, a hole large enough for the power
cord to fit through, and a cutout large enough for the exhaust adapter.
1 Turn off the power to the outlet in the cabinet.
2 Remove everything from the cabinet.
3 Trim the Top Cabinet Template along the dotted line.
4 If the bottom of your cabinet is recessed and the template is too large, trim the edges
to fit. Your template should
fit snugly inside the space with no overhang.
Note
• Make sure that you keep the left and right sides even. For example, if you need
to
trim the sides by 1", cut 1/2" from the left side and 1/2" from the right side.
• Some cabinets have a small bracket or glue block between the overhang
and
the underside of the cabinet bottom. Cut the template to fit around these so it
lies flat on the bottom of the cabinet.
5 To positio
n the Top Cabinet Template:
• Align the center line on the template with the center line that you drew on
the wall.
• Align the back edge of the template to the rear wall (smooth or flat bottom
cabinets) or to the back of the recess (recessed cabinets) to make sure that
the holes cut into the upper cabinet align with the holes in the top of the
microwave.
6 Tape the template to the bottom of the cabinet.
7 Drill ½" holes through the template at points A, B, and C.

8 Cut a 2" diameter hole at point D for the power cord.
