Start screws in the center of the

narrow neck of each of the

four keyhole mounting screw slots marked
on the cabinet bottom.

To vent through the roof or wall,

mark 5-3/4"

and 6-1/4" in from back wall along the
centerline on underside of cabinet. Use
these points as centers to draw 7-1/8"
circles on underside of cabinet. 

Use a saber saw to cut the openings for the
vent system. Repeat for the underside of
the top of the cabinet. This will create
slotted openings which makes it easier to
install the vent system..
