1. Cut an opening through the wail. Re-
move any insulation and keep for Step 8.
2. Measure depth of wail opening and
construct finish frame. Use 1" (25 mm)
or heavier lumber for wood frame con-
struction. When using a wood, metal, or
plastic molding, the finish frame should
line up with the inside wall. If a plastered
wall is to be flush with the cabinet, and no
molding is used, the finish frame must be
set %" (13 mm) back from the finished
plaster surface. See illustrations at right
for frame construction and brick veneer
construction information.
Finish frame measurements include:
A - Wall opening width
B - Wall opening height
C - Depends on wall thickness and
type of molding
NOTE: Apply wood preservative to the
surface exposed to the outside.
