How To Install A Wall Mount Microwave Shelf

Installing a wall mount microwave shelf can be a great way to free up counter space and improve the look of your kitchen. It is also an affordable solution for adding extra storage without having to replace your existing microwave. With the right tools and some basic DIY skills, installing a wall mount microwave shelf can be a simple and easy job.

What You’ll Need

Before you begin the installation process, make sure you have the following items:

• Wall mount microwave shelf
• Drill with masonry bit
• Measuring tape
• Screwdriver
• Wall anchors
• Screws

Preparing the Area

Before you start drilling, make sure the wall you’re working on is strong enough to hold the shelf. If you’re not sure, have a professional check it out. Once you’ve determined that the wall is strong enough, measure the area where you want to install the shelf and mark the spot with a pencil.

Installing the Shelf

Using your drill and masonry bit, make four evenly-spaced holes in the wall where you’ve marked the spot. Next, insert wall anchors into the holes and secure them with the screws. Now that the wall anchors are in place, you can attach the microwave shelf to the wall. Place the shelf on the wall anchors and use the screws to secure it.

Final Steps

Once the shelf is securely attached to the wall, you’re ready to place your microwave on the shelf. Make sure the microwave is centered on the shelf and that it’s not wobbling. Now all that’s left to do is plug in the microwave and you’re good to go.
