• When installing the microwave oven beneath smooth, flat cabinets, be careful to follow the instructions on the top cabinet template for power cord clearance.
• Models with top venting grilles: Do not allow cabinetry or other objects to block the airflow of the vent.
  13” max: for standard installation, 15” cabinet depth requires additional steps using an additional installation kit JX15BUMPWW/  BB..

PLACEMENT OF THE MOUNTING PLATE 1
A. REMOVING THE MICROWAVE OVEN FROM THE CARTON/REMOVING THE MOUNTING PLATE

1. Remove the installation instructions, filters, glass tray and the small hardware bag. Do not remove the foam protecting the front of the oven.

2. Fold back all 4 carton flaps fully against carton sides. Then carefully roll the oven and carton over onto the top side. The oven should be resting in the foam.

3. Pull the carton up and off the oven.

4. Remove and properly discard plastic bags.

5.  Remove the 2 screws from the mounting plate. This plate will be used as the rear wall template and for mounting. You may discard these screws.

FINDING THE WALL STUDS

1. Find the studs, using one of the following methods: A. Stud finder — a magnetic device that locates nails.
   OR B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate a stud location.

2. 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 16″ or 24″ from this mark.

3. Draw a line down the center of the studs.

NOTE: THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD
DETERMINING WALL PLATE LOCATION UNDER YOUR CABINET
Plate position – beneath flat bottom cabinet

Plate position – beneath the recessed bottom cabinet with front overhang

Plate position – beneath framed recessed cabinet bottom

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes with the microwave installation. Remove the decorative trim to install the microwave properly and to make it level.
NOTE: THE MICROWAVE MUST BE LEVEL. Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.
If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with no back or side frame, install the mounting plate down the same distance as the front overhang depth. This will keep the microwave level.

1. Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
2. Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth of the front overhang.
3. For this type of installation with front overhang only, align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

ALIGNING THE WALL PLATE D.

CAUTION
Wear gloves to avoid cutting fingers on sharp edges.

1. Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30″ wide space.
2. Use the mounting plate as the template for the rear wall. Place the mounting plate on the wall, making sure that the tabs are touching the bottom of the cabinet or the level line drawn in Step C for cabinets with front overhang. Line up the notch and centerline on the bottom of the mounting plate to the centerline on the wall.
3. While holding the mounting plate with one hand, draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C, and D (see illustration above/actual plate marked with arrows). Four holes must be used for mounting. 4

NOTE: Holes C and D are inside area E. If neither C nor D is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E and draw the fifth circle to line up with the stud. It is important to use at least one wood screw-mounted firmly in a stud to support the weight of the microwave. Set the mounting plate aside.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. Take care to not drill into electrical wiring inside walls or cabinets. Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3/46″ hole for wood screws. For holes that don’t line up with a stud, drill a Y8″ hole for toggle bolts. Drill two 5/a” holes for toggle screws. NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.

INSTALLATION TYPES (Choose A, B or C)
This microwave oven is designed for adaptation to the following three types of ventilation:
A. Outside Top Exhaust (Vertical Duct)
