rear wall tem
plate in operating by lining up the
plumb line on wall with centerline on
tem
plate.
Then securely
tape or tack the rear war template in place.
Make sure the
minimum width is 30 inches and that the top of the
rear
wall template is located a minimum of 30 inches above
the cooking surface. See Figure 2

.
NOTE: If the cabinets are not plumb, adjust the
rear wall
tem
plate to the cabinets. If the front edge of the
cabinet is lower than the back edge, adjust the
tem
plate to be level with the cabinet front.

the edges A, B, and C on the upper cabinet template
so that the template will fit on the bottom of the upper
cabinet. If upper cabinet has a recessed frame, trim the
template so it fits inside the recessed area. Align the
centerline of the upper cabinet template with the
centerline of the
rear wall tem
plate, then securely tape or
tack the upper cabinet template in place. See Figure
