OVERHANG MOLDING INSTALLATION
For cabinets with an overhang molding (see Illustration C)
Important: Always wear protective glasses or goggles to prevent injury
when drilling.
Note:
Spacers are provided in case your cabinet has an overhang molding at
the front edge. Only use spacers on the rear screws of the appliance to ensure
it is level with the front.
1.
Clear countertop under installation area
to avoid getting 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. Using a ruler, measure the thickness of the
overhang molding (I), accurately noting
the number for use in the following step.
Note:
If you do not have a ruler, you may cut out the paper ruler provided
on the edge of your mounting template.
4. After measuring the overhang molding thickness as shown in Illustration
I, look at the dashed lines on the mounting template; each line has a
measurement next to it that indicates the thickness of the overhang
molding used with that line. For example, if your cabinet has an
overhang molding thickness of
1
⁄
2
”, you will
use the
1
⁄
2
” dashed line on the template.
5. Fold the template along the dashed
line that matches the thickness of your
overhang molding.
6. Place the folded template against the back
edge of the overhang molding, making sure
the side with the drill hole marks is facing
down (J).
Important: Do not align screw holes on
template directly under the partition between cabinets, as this will
prevent you from installing the appliance properly. Pay close attention
to where the 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.
7. Making sure to keep the fold line straight
against the back edge of the overhang
molding, tape the template securely in
place.
8. Drilling from underside of the cabinet up,
drill holes through the 4 places marked on
the template using a
1
⁄
4
" drill bit (K).
Important: Always ensure you are drilling
straight up through the marked mounting
hole on the template. Drilling at an angle may
prevent proper installation and may damage cabinets if the drill bit
pierces the partition.
9. Once holes are drilled, remove tape and mounting template.
