How to remove a fitted microwave ?

[RayS]

For reasons too tedious to mention I may wish to remove the fitted microwave in my caravan. At the momemnt I can't find any obvious fixing points. The microwave over has a one-piece rectangular bezel all round it which moves slightly at the corners if gently levered but I am obviously reluctant to get very stong with this.

Any ideas please ?

Pull off the bezel carefully to get a better look. There won't be much holding it in.
It will have a lead with a domestic plug which simply needs to be unplugged.

Pinched from another forum, Not tried it myself.

To Remove the microwave, open the microwave door and there will be two small round stickers on the frame its self , which underneath there is screws undo these screws and then close the oven door and the pull the bottom of the frame it is hinged at the top, there will be some fixing brackets to hold the oven still DO NOT JUST PULL THE FRAME IT WILL BREAK!!

For the Avante:

My Elddis's microwave has an outer frame (Stainless steel coloured plastic) which just pulls off (no screws).The 4 wood screws at the front corners are then very obvious to remove. At this stage the microwave just sits on its shelf. I then pull the mictowave forward and drop it onto the surface below, the cable being long enough to do this. There is then an inline connector to pull apart, job done.
REMEMBER they are heavy.
I do this every year when we go to Scotland where we have no hook up. The space left behind being a very usefull storeage place when on site.

Thanks for the replies. The problem has been put on the back burner for the moment, but my van does have the two patches concealing scew heads as chrisbee describes, so if I do eventually need to remove the oven I'll try this first as the bezel (wood effect plastic) round the oven certainly does not remove easily and I am under strict instructins not to wreck it.
