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.
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.
