“Can this be installed on a wall that is tiled? Or does it need to be installed directly on drywall? I know it needs at least one stud and finding one might be difficult with tile not sure installers can do but if so can it be installed on tile?”

Hi Marc, To make sure the appliance is installed on the proper wall and studs. We would recommend to review the installation instructions. We hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it can be installed on tile. The best way to locate the studs would be to remove the top row of tile, locate and mark the studs then fill in the area where tile was removed with a piece of wood or plywood cut to fit the area and exactly the same thickness as the tile. This area will be covered by the microwave once it is installed. Yes it's very important to have the mounting bracket screws going into the stud, or studs. When installing the bracket screws you will be able to confirm you are properly hitting the studs as there will be resistance when the screw goes in. If it goes in too easy you're probably off the stud slightly so adjust your drilling hole to left or right to make contact.
