    There should be installation instructions -- with your new microwave

    But I can explain some of details to remove the old microwave

    There are bolts that hold front of microwave up -- cabinet above unit

    Unplug microwave. When the bolts are removed -- the front will drop down

    A bracket holds back -- so you need to raise back and pull forward

    This is not a one person job -- two people is usually best.. Remove

    Then remove bracket that mounts on wall -- new one -- new bracket

    Mount the new bracket per your install instructions -- measure down & mount

    There should be a template -- place on bottom of cabinet -- drill new holes

    Protect your eyes when drilling overhead -- Install and bolt up new unit
