SP CER MOUNTING INST LL TION (OVERH NG LIP C BINETS)
Important: lways wear protective glasses or goggles to prevent injury when
drilling.
Note: Spacers are provided in case your cabinet has an overhang lip at the front
edge. The spacers are used on the rear screw holes of the appliance to ensure it is
level with the front. Only use spacers if your cabinet has an overhang.
1. Clear countertop under installation area to avoid getting on other appliances or
items. Open cabinets and remove contents to make mounting easier
2. Using a ruler, measure the thickness of the overhang lip from the front to back
of the overhang, accurately noting the number for use in the following step (H).

Note: If you do not have a ruler, you may cut out and use the paper ruler provided
on the edge of your mounting template.
3. Once you have the overhang thickness, look at the dashed lines on the
mounting template; each line has a measurement next to it that indicates
the height of the lip used with that line. For example, if your cabinet has an
overhang thickness of ½", you will use the ½" dashed line on the template.
4. With cabinet doors open, place line selected on mounting template even with
the bottom front edge of your cabinet, and tape in place against the lip (J).

5. With the paper securely taped in place against the lip, fold the rest of the
mounting template back against the underside of cabinet surface, bending
it to remain flush against both the back of the lip and the underside of the
cabinet (K).

Important: Do not align screw holes on template with the partition between
cabinets, as this will prevent you from installing the appliance properly. Pay close
attention to where the drill holes will be set so as not to damage your cabinets
during mounting. Drilling through your cabinet's partition may cause damage to
cabinets and prevent proper installation.
6. Drilling from under the cabinet up, drill holes through the 4 places marked
on the template using a ¼-inch drill bit (see illustration E).
Important: lways ensure you are drilling straight up through the marked
mounting hole on the template. Drilling at an angle may prevent proper
installation and may damage cabinets if the drill bit pierces the partition.
7. Once holes are drilled, remove tape and mounting template and save
template with your instructions in case you move or wish to remount at
a later time.
8. Wipe dust and debris off inside cabinet surface. lso, make sure under side
of cabinet is clean.
9. Place a washer inside the cabinet over each of the 4 holes you drilled.
10. Now, use your ruler or the paper ruler provided to measure the overhang
height, placing your ruler vertically against the underside of the cabinet
behind the overhang. This number determines the number of spacers you
need, using a number of spacers equal to the overhang height. For example,
a 1" overhang would use 2, ½" spacers on each of the rear holes (L).

Place a washer inside the cabinet over each of the 4 holes you drilled.
12.
Drop one of your screws through each of the washers covering the holes
in the cabinet, from inside the cabinet down.
13. Place the appropriate number of spacers determined in step 9 on each
screw to the appliance will be even (M).
