Extend the rail by loosening the two adjustment screws.
Starting at the lowest available position in the cabinet, align the holes on the

holes. Use the washers if
the cabinet has square holes.
Secure the rear of the rail to the cabinet with two screws (and washers if the
cabinet has square holes). Use the same set of holes as in the front.
If you plan to ship an empty tray in the cabinet, secure the hold-down
brackets to the back of the cabinet by counting up from the bottom of the
rail and inserting screws into the 8th and 11th cabinet holes. The tray must be
empty when shipped.
