1. Using enclosed Overhang Measurement Tool, measure counter
overhang in center of location where you plan to mount extension. Place
overhang tool under overhang with dimension lines facing upward. Slide
tool forward under overhang until it touches cabinet side (Figure A). Note
which line the edge of overhang comes closest to. You may have to round
off, depending on your unit. Record corresponding letter for this dimension
line (for example: If overhang measures 7/8", record letter "C").
If you choose to use a ruler, measure and record the counter overhang.
