Template instructions

Drilling from inside the cabinet

If you cannot drill from inside the
cabinet, see "Drilling from under the
cabinet" section.

If the cabinet does not have a partition or
you are not installing under two
adjoining cabinets:

Place template inside the cabinet so
that the front line of the Template A will
be aligned with the front edge of the
cabinet. If necessary, cut some areas of
the template in order to make it fit
properly within cabinet.

See 

NOTE

at bottom of page.

If the cabinet has a partition or you are
installing under two adjoining cabinets:

1. Cut Template B from template A along

the dotted line.

2. Cut Template A into two pieces to fit

each side of the partition.

3. Position one piece of Template A inside

cabinet making sure the front line is
aligned with the front edge of the
cabinet. Tape in place.

4. Position Template B in front of the

cabinet so that the hole centerline is
aligned with the hole centerline of the
Template A piece positioned in Step 3
above.

5. Position the other piece of Template A

inside the adjacent cabinet opening so
that the hole centerline aligns with the
hole centerline on Template B. Tape in
place. If you have followed the
instructions properly, the distance
between the right and left hole
centerlines will be 12-7/8" (32.7 cm).

Drilling from under the cabinet

If the cabinet does not have a front frame
exending below the cabinet, there is no
partition, or you are not installing under
two adjoining cabinets:

Tape Template A to the underside of

cabinet so the front line of template
will be aligned with the front edge of
the cabinet. If necessary, cut some
areas of the template in order to make
it fit properly on the underside of
cabinet.

See 

NOTE

at bottom of page.

If cabinet has only a front frame
extending below the cabinet bottom and
no partition:

Measure the thickness of the frame.
Fold template along guide line that
matches the frame thickness. Place the
folded edge of template against the
back side of front frame on the
underside of the cabinet. Tape in place.
