2 WALLCONSTRUCTION
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 wall 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" × 4"
wail stud or two 2" x 3" wail studs.
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.
