<h3 data-start="2276" data-end="2316">1. <strong data-start="2283" data-end="2316">Prepare the Installation Area</h3>
<ul data-start="2318" data-end="2912">
<li data-start="2318" data-end="2569">
<p data-start="2320" data-end="2569"><strong data-start="2320" data-end="2341">Measure the space: The microwave needs to be installed in a cabinet or designated space with the correct dimensions. The Frigidaire FMOS1846BS requires a cutout space that is approximately 30 inches wide, 17.1 inches high, and 17.5 inches deep.

</li>
<li data-start="2570" data-end="2739">
<p data-start="2572" data-end="2739"><strong data-start="2572" data-end="2600">Check the overhead space: Ensure there&rsquo;s enough space above the microwave for proper ventilation. The microwave requires at least 3 inches of clearance at the top.

</li>
<li data-start="2740" data-end="2912">
<p data-start="2742" data-end="2912"><strong data-start="2742" data-end="2787">Remove the existing cabinet if applicable: If you&rsquo;re replacing an old unit, carefully remove it by unscrewing and detaching any brackets or components that secure it.

</li>
</ul>
<h3 data-start="2914" data-end="2954">2. <strong data-start="2921" data-end="2954">Install the Mounting Template</h3>
<p data-start="2956" data-end="3070">Frigidaire provides a mounting template to help you mark the correct positions for the screws. Follow these steps:

<ul data-start="3072" data-end="3563">
<li data-start="3072" data-end="3273">
<p data-start="3074" data-end="3273"><strong data-start="3074" data-end="3108">Place the template on the wall: Hold the provided mounting template against the wall where the microwave will be installed. It should be aligned with the center of the designated cabinet opening.

<li data-start="3274" data-end="3423">
<p data-start="3276" data-end="3423"><strong data-start="3276" data-end="3300">Mark the screw holes: Use a pencil to mark the spots for the screws and mounting holes. Ensure the template is level to avoid any misalignment.

</li>
<li data-start="3424" data-end="3563">
<p data-start="3426" data-end="3563"><strong data-start="3426" data-end="3447">Use a stud finder: Find the studs in the wall, as you&rsquo;ll need to secure the microwave to them for stability. Mark the stud positions.

</li>
</ul>
<h3 data-start="3565" data-end="3606">3. <strong data-start="3572" data-end="3606">Prepare the Ventilation System</h3>
<p data-start="3608" data-end="3767">The Frigidaire FMOS1846BS microwave offers both <strong data-start="3656" data-end="3676">external venting and <strong data-start="3681" data-end="3706">recirculating venting options. You&rsquo;ll need to decide which system you want to use.

<ul data-start="3769" data-end="4258">
<li data-start="3769" data-end="4010">
<p data-start="3771" data-end="4010"><strong data-start="3771" data-end="3795">For external venting: Install the exterior vent ductwork. This might require cutting a hole in the wall behind the microwave to allow air to flow outside. Follow the instructions in the manual for precise measurements and installation.

</li>
<li data-start="4011" data-end="4258">
<p data-start="4013" data-end="4258"><strong data-start="4013" data-end="4042">For recirculating venting: If you don&rsquo;t want to vent the microwave outside, you can use the recirculating vent option, which filters the air through a charcoal filter and returns it into the kitchen. Ensure the filter is installed correctly.

</li>
</ul>
<h3 data-start="4260" data-end="4301">4. <strong data-start="4267" data-end="4301">Install the Microwave Brackets</h3>
