2 WALL CONSTRUCTION
This Microwave Oven/Hood should be mounted against and supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall must be flat for proper
installation. If the wail is not flat, use spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall construction should be a minimum of 2” x 4” wood studding and
3/8” or more thick dry wall or plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces must be capable of supporting weight of 110 pounds—the oven
and contents—AND the weight of all items which would normally be stored in the top cabinet above the unit.
The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2” x 4” wall stud.
To find the location of the studs, one of the following methods may be used:
A. Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the nails in the stud.
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate stud location.
The center of the stud can be located by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud and then placing a mark
halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs will normally be 16” or 24” to either side of this mark.
