STANDARD INSTALLATION FOR FLAT CABINETS ONLY
Important:
Always wear protective glasses or goggles to prevent injury
when drilling.
Important:
Do not align screw holes on the template directly under the
partition between cabinets, as this will prevent you from installing the
appliance properly. Pay close attention to where 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.
1.
Clear countertop under installation area to avoid getting dust or
debris 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. Decide whether you will be drilling from the top down or from the
bottom up.
IF DRILLING FROM THE BOTTOM UP:
a. With cabinet doors open, place mounting
template against the surface of the front
edge of your cabinet. Align the thick line
on the template (labeled “cabinet front
edge”) with the lower front edge of your
cabinet (D).
b. Fold the balance of the template up
along the underside of your cabinet,
ensuring the “cabinet front edge” line
remains aligned with the bottom front
cabinet edge.
c. Make sure the template is smooth and
fl ush against the cabinet’s underside. Pull
template tight and tape down to hold in
place.
IF DRILLING FROM THE TOP DOWN:
a. With cabinet doors open, place mounting
template against the surface of the front
edge of your cabinet. Align the thick line
on the template (labeled “cabinet front
edge”) with the upper front edge of your
cabinet (E).
b. Fold the balance of the template over into
the inside of your cabinet, ensuring the
“cabinet front edge” line remains aligned
with the upper front cabinet edge.
c. Make sure the template is smooth and
fl ush against the cabinet’s inside. Pull
template tight and tape down to hold in
place.
