The large sized microwave is great to cook food, but the counter space it eats up is just too much. So there were many built in and over the range microwave ovens that were designed.
These ovens typically fit in some part of the kitchen without using up the counter space. Generally to fit these microwaves in such places you need some supports like the mounting plates.
The best way to mount that microwave is to first fit the mounting plates in the right position. Most microwave installation guides come with a design sheet which shows exactly where the mounting plates fit and how the microwave slides on these plates.
To start with place this design plan on the place where you want to mount the microwave. Drill holes and fix the plates on top of this design plan and then fit the microwave on top of that.
If you are more confident, then you need not have the design plan on the wall. Just use your measure tape mark the drilling holes and fix the plates. Once that is done you can then slide the microwave and complete the installation.
