How to Remove a Spacesaver Microwave

Removing a GE Spacesaver microwave requires some help. The appliance is held in by supporting brackets. When they're released, there is nothing to prevent the microwave from falling down. The bracket screws are in the cabinet above the microwave which prevents one person from being able to hold the microwave and remove the brackets.
