Where can I get an installation template? I am moving my microwave to a new location where it will have an outside exhaust - the vertical configuration. Google couldn't find a cabinet mounting template for me, and I have long since lost the one that came in the box. Where can i get one? I am happy to download one and scale it up to the size necessary. My specific model number is JNM1851SM2SS. Thanks.

There are usually just 2 screws for suspending the microwave from the upper cabinet, so measure carefully (triple measure if needs be to be sure). Measure the distance out from the back wall and the distance in from the sides. Same for the hole for passing the cord up through. If you are a little bit off on your holes , enlarge them in the direction needed to avoid cross threading the bolts in the case-mounted nuts. Possibly use large washers if you had to enlarge the hole(s) much , a.k.a. "fender washers". If you REALLY screw up the holes, you will have to add a small board inside the upper cabinet of a piece of sheet metal most of the way across with holes in the right place. You could also carefully measure the locations of the old holes relative to the back and cabinet sides at your old location in your particular case.

Contact the manufacturer, maybe they can PDF or send you a copy in the mail.

You could probably search the internet on the manufacturer's website to see how to get a template from them.

Samsung is no help either they wouldn't send us one. So my husband just measured from the top of the microwave down to the wall bracket hooks and transferred those measurements to the wall for the wall plate.
