Step 2: Filler Panel Installation
a. Use Insert Filler Panel
Hardware provided with the Insert Filler Panel:
o
(4) Screws #8 x 3/4”L, Hex Head
o
(4) Screws #6 x 1 1/4”L, Phillips Head
Do not remove the protecting film on the outside of the panel yet.
-
Place the panel (with the protecting film still on) into the cabinet
with the top of the panel to be in the contact with the top of the
cabinet.
-
Note that there are two mounting holes on each of the left and right
sides of the panel. Use the marker to mark the holes’ locations.
Carefully remove the panel out of the cabinet.
-
Use the power drill with the 1/8” drill-bit to drill four holes at the
marks. Each hole should be roughly 1-inch deep.
-
Remove the protecting film on the outside of the panel.
Recommend
to use cotton gloves to handle the panel after the film is removed to
avoid finger prints.
-
Carefully slide the panel into the cabinet. Drive four #8 x 3/4”L Hex
Head screws (provided) into the mounting holes on the left and right
sides of the panel to secure the panel to the cabinet.
