One of the most important and indispensable part of today’s kitchens is the microwave ovens. The popularity of under cabinet microwave ovens can be adjudged from the fact that these appliance have replaced the conventional ovens, and their presence alone makes a kitchen complete in true sense. The position of these ovens is very important to get the maximum benefits out of it.

There is a limited space in kitchens of most of the families residing in big cities and flats. The confined space has got a solution in the form of under cabinet microwave ovens. These ovens have been specially designed in order to save the space on your kitchen tops, and increase the cooking space. The functions performed are almost similar to that of conventional ones but these appliances make use of the latest sensor technology, making cooking of food a convenient process.

As these microwaves have to be established underneath the cabinets, they have been kept quite light in comparison to the conventional types, and proper care must be taken while installations to avoid the possibility of any accidents. The installation of under cabinet microwaves is an easy procedure which can be done quite easily if followed step by step.

Using a measuring tape, centre of the installation as area is measured and is marked. Also the wall studs are marked. The centre of the wall template is then aligned in line with the marking on the back wall and the cabinet template is then tapped to the underside of kitchen’s cabinet.

The mounting plate needs to be secured in at least one of the studs and holes are drilled into the circles using screws of different sizes, chosen according to the holes being drilled. The mounting plate is held against a wall and aligned with the centre which is finally secured into the walls. These are some very easy processes in the installation of under cabinet microwaves.

A hole of 3/8″ is drilled wherever indicated in the template of under cabinet and also another hole of 2″ is drilled to make room for power supply cord. The under cabinet microwave is then lifted and it is hung at the bottom of the mounting plate, with the resumed power supply from the hole. The screws are then tightened in the final stage of setup and the gap between cabinet and microwave is closed.
