1. Clear countertop under installation area to avoid getting on other appliances
or items. Open cabinets and remove contents to make mounting easier.
2. Clean both the underside and topside of the bottom panel of the cabinet.
3. Using a ruler, measure the thickness of the overhang molding (J), accurately
noting the number for use in the following step.
J
Note: If you do not have a ruler, you may cut out the paper ruler provided on the
edge of your mounting template.
4. fter measuring the overhang molding thickness as shown in Illustration J, look
at the dashed lines on the mounting template; each line has a measurement
next to it that indicates the thickness of the overhang molding used with that
line. For example, if your cabinet has an overhang molding thickness of ½",
you will use the ½" dashed line on the template.
5. Fold the template along the dashed line that matches the thickness of your
overhang molding.
6. Place the folded template against the back edge of the overhang molding,
making sure the side with the drill hole marks is facing down (K).
K
Important: Do not align screw holes on template directly under 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.
7. Making sure to keep the fold line straight against the back edge of the
overhang molding, tape the template securely in place.
8. Drilling from underside of the cabinet up, drill holes through the 4 places
marked on the template using a ¼-inch drill bit (L).
L
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.
9. Once holes are drilled, remove tape and mounting template.
10. Wipe dust and debris off the topside and underside of the cabinet surface.
11. Place a washer inside the cabinet over each of the 4 holes you drilled.
12. Now, use your ruler or the paper ruler provided to measure the overhang
molding height, placing your ruler vertically against the underside of the
cabinet behind the overhang molding. This number determines the number of
spacers you need, using a number of spacers equal to the overhang molding
height. For example, a 1" overhang molding would use 2, ½" spacers on each
of the rear holes (M).
M
13. Drop one of your screws through each of the washers covering the holes in the
cabinet, from inside the cabinet down.
Note: To determine which screws to use, you must have enough of the screw
exposed underneath the cabinet to properly thread the screw into the nut.
