5. The frame should be aligned with the outside edge (opposite the
hinge) and high enough to align with the highest point in the
door.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
Due to differences in floor construction or surrounding
cabinetry, the frame may not sit flush with the top of the
door.
6. Secure overlay to
door using clamps. A
robust tape may also
be used. U-Line
recommends the use
of bar clamps to
securely clamp the
overlay to the door. If
using tape, be certain
the tape will not
damage overlay finish
upon removal.
7. Using a 7/64" drill bit,
drill 6 pilot holes into
the wood panel
1/2" deep using the
holes in the door
frame as a guide.
8. Locate 6 of the #6x
1 1/2" screws
provided with your
unit
9. Using a phillips
screwdriver, place one
screw into each of the
6 pilot holes and
screw down. Do not
overtighten screws.
10. Be sure the screws force their way past the opening on the
gasket channel and sit flush against the bottom of the channel.
11. Remove clamps from door.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
If frame requires additional adjustment after removing
clamps, slightly loosen each screw and adjust frame as
necessary. Tighten screws upon completion.
12. Starting at the corners, re-install the gasket into the gasket
channel in the frame. Make sure the gasket is fully seated. This
may take some force.
13. If installing an additional overlay on a 36" unit, repeat steps 1
through 12 on the opposite door.
Overlay Grille
The 3000 series grille is fully adjustable and can be set to match
your surrounding cabinetry dimensions. In addition to its
adjustability, an overlay may also be installed to truly provide a
seamless appearance.
Preparing The Overlay
1. Use the dimensions provided in the diagram on page
to cut
and shape your grille overlay. Recommended overlay thickness
is between 1/4" and 3/8". Dimension A will vary based on your
toe kick height.
2. Finish or stain your grille overlay to match your surrounding
cabinetry. Both sides require finishing to prevent warping. Be
certain to carefully follow the finish manufacturer’s
recommendations for application and cure times.
3. Apply double sided tape to the backside of the overlay grill. Use
the diagram below for reference. U-Line recommends 3M

tape, a high strength bonding tape.
