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 or two 2" x 3" wall 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. NEED HELP?
